People don't know where to put components

On 6 out of 6 people I've watched play the game for the first time, without assistance, none of them figured out at first guess where to put the components. Right now they need to go at that small 'black' track area in the middle. If you don't click there, the component selection will simply vanish. Some of them give up and say 'hm, so I'm not supposed to insert these things. What then?' It could be fixed by:

• Highlighting insertion points once an item is selected
• Making the tracks on the start and end components even more transparent
• Making the initial identitycomponent wider... (nah)

I think when you're in a mode that allows you to insert a component, a nice glow around the insert-able area should help.

You could also make the start/end components more transparent, but only while you're inserting a component.

Another thing that may be nice is when you drag a component to insert it, it gives you a preview of what it will look like before you place it.
