Control to show channel value?

I know this has been suggested before but I think it got lost in the other stuff.

I'm looking for a way to show just a few channels and make them big and colourful with fonts.

There is the monitor, but that is an all or nothing situation and is not visible on the virtual console.

Similar to the clock, just a box that I can configure to show the value of a selected channel in real time. It may even be the clock control extended to handle this.

The reason for this is that I control XY, Iris, Focus and other things of moving heads manually with an external controller (non motorised). There are cue points for where they must start next. So the end user can move the heads to specific point with a specific iris by looking at these values and be ready when the next cue comes along.

This will save lots of real estate as the actual control (XY or faders) will be hidden and then I have space for other stuff on the virtual desk. The fader and XY values are very small and have lots of other display elements.
