Well, here's a simple example from a few moments ago .. attached... Purple is bad, and too much 'previous' stroke persistence...

That's by design. On the highest level the lines stay for a long time, so you get an idea which stations are mainly assigned to the strokes. Just switch to the 2nd highest level for the previous behavior. The distance color scheme is: red=far, blue=medium, green=close. Those three colors are mixed depending on the distance. It's similar like the previous color scheme: The red color is new and shows *very* far distances. Bright green color is shown on very close distances. Thus you get a more detailed view of the distances than before. The old color scheme is still available on the 2nd level, which is also for computers with low resources as only a few lines are displayed.

Plus, all stations are shown (dots). Not only those which detected the strike.
Thus, it is not convenient for the mouseouver.

Hmm, I'm not sure, but this is similar than it was before. However, I changed it a bit: If lines are enabled, then only used/assigned stations are shown when zoomed out.
