Module Edge Markings (was the UI thing, guh)

I'm sitting here on my girlfriend's computer, without any access to a 
visual program like photoshop, but i had an idea for edge markings:

Think relatively thin, transparent plastic.

Think shaped like an "I"

SO (hoping we're all monospaced here):

What you have are tabs on the top and bottom of a transparent piece 
of plastic.  These tabs have holes in them that are aligned with the 
edge screw holes of two modules.  a thin (1/8"?  1/4"?) strip runs 
down the middle, with...

a white line silkscreened on it, slightly wider than the gap you 
might have between two modules given the slop around the mounting 
holes.

comments?  requests for clarification?
