Rule of replacing colors when the indicator is turned on
Objects in the DU are displayed in the order of creation. The first object is located at the bottom.
When the indicator created at first (located at the bottom) is turned on, a color equivalent to "Color 1"
or "Color 2" within the indicator area is replaced by the unit of dot. When an other indicator is located
above the first indicator, color is replaced in the upper indicator in accordance with color replacement
in the lower indicator.
In an example below, the color equivalent to "Color 2" (= red) is replaced with the color specified as
"Color 1" (= black). The color equivalent to "Color 1" (= black) is replaced with the color specified as
"Color 2" (= red).
