Enhancement suggestion in VU Meter and Peak Meter, Configurable lowest displayed level value

My suggestion is that this could be configurable - in both visualisation plugins in the same way. My suggestion is that everyone could set up value from -140dB (or-145dB) up to 0 dB with increments of 10dB (or 5dB) as value for lowest displayed level. I propose minimal value of -140 (or -145) as 144dB is maximal theoretical value of signal dynamics for 24 bit signal. Other option for minimal value is -100dB (or -95) as 96dB is maximal theoretical value of signal dynamics for still most popular 16 bit/CD-DA format. I ignore 32bit/64bit signals as they aren't in wide consumer use - they mostly live in studio environment. Is this possible to implement such option?

I'd love to see a numerical value in the meters, revealing the exact value of that 'recent maximum mark' (don't know how to name it better) in both the peak and the VU. A fixed scale in the spectragram would also be useful. A metering cursor would also do the job. I found foobar and it's meters a very useful tool and I'm going to stick with it for everyday use. Great job! Thanks!
