Does anyone else find Sky Demon does not show conflicting traffic clearly enough on its charts.

Does anyone else find Sky Demon does not show PilotAware conflicting traffic clearly enough on its charts?  Runway HD shows them as very conspicuous coloured Darts with grey background height info alongside (as per below first image) but Sky Demon (as per below second image) simply shows them as white mini-aircraft with yellow background height info which I don't think stands out nearly as well. Could Sky Demon please add flexibility to users to choose how conflicting traffic appears on the charts in terms of colours and icons?

Your screenshot doesn't show any conflicting traffic. If it did, you'd see that conflicting traffic is shown yellow, and then red. We think it's pointless making all other aircraft different colours when they don't pose a threat. In the future when the majority of other aircraft are displayed on your map, the last thing you want is non-conflicting traffic drawn in bright attention-seeking colours.

You also cut off the SkyDemon traffic radar display, whose sole purpose is to show traffic around you. The map is not necessarily the best place to read such information. ‌‌‌‌
