Unfortunately, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much that can be done about that. It¡¯s just the way Signal Heads work.
You said you don¡¯t want to use Signal Masts, but they do provide that ability to disable an aspect.? Then you only see the ones you want (the ones that are not disabled)

It only has 4 icons. I do not want 8, or 10 "selections" that need to be "scrolled" through until I can get to the one I want on the panel. When I try to create a set, the only "choices" I get provide 8-10 blanks with red X's to place my icons into. Any unused box will bring up the red X if not changed. All I want is a set with 4 boxes so I can use the 3 basic aspects, Red, Yellow, Green, period.

Since I was using a later version that offered more options and a better CMRI interface, I suggested that he update his to the newest 4.15 just released. He had to update JAVA, then update JMRI. Naturally, this created havoc. The new file system completely bollixed his panel and that took a little time to repair. After we solved that problem (error messages about turnouts out of range LT3005 which didn't exist) , we started to experiment with creating CMRI signal heads. He will be using PRR Position lights with only ONE head and 3 aspects .

Currently when we want to add signals, there are 8-10 icons needed. We don't want to build signal masts. The signals will be ultra simple, ABS. The dispatcher only controls routes, not signals. This might change in the distant future, but for now. the KISS method will be what we want.
