Change color of Text on Purchase All parts (in tech Tree)


Recommended Posts

Just a quick easy suggestion.

When playing without the Autobuy parts in career mode, You have the green button which lets you purchase all parts. The white text on it, is extremly hard to read(could just be my old eyes :P or older montior, but i feel that a different color would help!). Just a color change on the text (perhaps to black) should increase the readablity by a ton.

Thanks!

Example of what im talking about:

It's not just you. I also have trouble seeing white on light-green.

I've also found out that I'm juuuuuust a tad colorblind when it comes to bright neon colors. The navball? Really tough to see the markers on it.

I'm a graphic designer so you can image my excitement when I discovered this...

Now that i think about it , i could probably write a mod to change the text color (havent looked into the modablity of the tech screen) :P

But thanks for backing me up :D

Could it be made clearer that you're getting the ENTRY costs of the parts and not the unlock costs? Because the first time I saw it that's what I assumed it was.

(Cost me about 6,000 on a hard mode game before I realized what I was doing. XD)

I've had my color vision tested and it's fine - very good in fact - but I still find that white-on-very-light-background to be a bit of an eye-strain.

There's a reason why terminals and text entry are generally white-on-black (or whatever-monochrome-color-your-70s-screen-does) or black-on-white, and not like.. light grey on white or very dark grey on black. I loaded that up in gimp, and the intensity (V) is 80 for the upper half of the bar, and 47-71 for the bottom half. That tells me that the text color should probably be black or the background made darker. Also the foreground color isn't pure white, it's only about 98% so.

Oh, using the color from the top half of that button, I made a sample using the 80-intensity color:

I'd definitely say they chose the wrong foreground color.
