One-directional bands (like bumpers) for Contact Map puzzles

I think enabled one-way bands should be colored 
differently (green or red) from normal enabled 
Foldit bands (purple). A one-way band that applies 
a force only when its present length is greater 
than its target length could be green. A one-way 
band that applies a force only when its present 
length is smaller than its target length could
be red. Thus, the green bands would only apply 
nonzero inward (attractive) forces, and the red 
bands would only apply nonzero outward (repulsive) 
forces. The one-way bands could be very thin (but 
still green or red) when they are not applying 
forces and the normal thickness when they are 
applying nonzero forces. Both normal and one-way 
bands could be gray when they are disabled.
