Here is quick mock-up for 3 position toggle switch.

That's not bad, but makes me to think about another issue:

the panel edited by me looks inconsistent with other panels used in your UI.

Here we risk to generate an unwanted patchwork effect that could diminish the beauty of the UI. Personally, I would replace the rusty metal surfaces that it currently features, with scratched paint coated surfaces (like the above mentioned T-lampentafel).

It is a matter of taste, indeed, but I think as well that real WWII U-boat interiors would have been painted with some antirust coating anyway.

A good compromise could be keeping the current style, and releasing an alternative skin pack for optional "coated" textures.

What do you guys think?

Okay

I ask you to send me any dds file used in your UI. I will:

1. Use currently featured rusty textures as templates for reskinning the T-lampentafel, in order to make it consistent with the rest of your UI.

2. With my time, I will reskin those textures, for creating an alternative "painted surfaces" theme pack
