Can we layer the value text over highlights?

[phet-steele]

@samreid @arouinfar I'd like to at least raise discussion about the possibility of layering the value text over a highlight box/circle. Currently, I think this looks bad:

Here is a poor-man's mockup of a layer change:

I prefer the aesthetics of the latter, but I could be swayed either way.

For phetsims/QA#33.

Thanks for the mockups @phet-steele! Now that I see the value layered on top, I think it does indeed look nicer.

With the rectangle layered over the values, it's hard to see the voltage as it's being changed. (But one could argue that the user can get this information from the voltage slider's readout.)

@samreid if this is an easy change and won't wreak havoc on the layering simplifications you've already made, then I'd say go for it. Like @phet-steele, I could go either way on this one.

Values are in front of highlight starting in this version: http://www.colorado.edu/physics/phet/dev/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/1.0.0-dev.142/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html

@phet-steele can you please check it?

Looks better, thanks guys!

Actually, let's have @arouinfar take a look.
