Giving the markers a black outline improves visibility on an e-ink screen. For something like the Cannon, you might separate two different markers by a slash. The slash could represent a screen, and one marker could indicate a move possible before the screen, while the other could indicate a move possible after the screen. For a Cannon's one-step move, the marker for a non-capturing move could be used by itself.

However, something different would have to be done for a grasshopper, which could not move any distance past the screen. Perhaps a move that could be continued further could be represented by an arrow in the direction of the move, and a move that cannot be continued could be represented with an octagon, the shape of a stop sign.
