Color seems easiest, in terms of ease of location.  Some sort of
patterning to the line might work as well.  Since peripheral vision is
more sensitive to color changes than intensity changes (IIRC), color
makes sense as a way to make it easily located.  But I'm open to other
suggestions, and will try to implement them and test them out for a
few days, if there are any.
