I don't think a completely new type is necessary - but really it's up to the programmer(s) on how to implement it; whatever's easiest, or for that matter whatever floats their boat.
Here's how I envisioned it working, for what it's worth.
First of all there's the basic Value control - expand its list of possible sensors to include the boolean ones, and display the sensor's value. Simple enough I'd imagine :)
Then there's the more complicated idea. The way I would do it would be to add functionality to the Image control to allow you to link it to a boolean sensor - if the sensor is set to on, display the image; if not, don't.
This could also be set up to display the image for numerical sensors if the value is above/below a certain threshold; while certainly a cool feature, I can only think of a couple practical purposes - shift, lean, and boost cut indicators.
The specific purposes that I want this for are to add little VTEC, A/C, and CEL indicators to my dash carputer. Also one for the radiator fan if that sensor indicates properly.
