A request from the over 40 eyes crowd
« on: July 29, 2005, 11:08:41 AM »
A small alpha on the vox name in the upper right hand corner and possibly on the icon name for friendlies. I am constantly having to adjust the icon color depending on the map and current condition of the sky. With the new clouds it is sometime difficult to see the green(country) and orange(squad/mission) text when someone talks on vox.  With the icons the green/orange is difficult to see against the clouds if it's light enough to see over the terrain. I have tried several colors even other than green/orange and nothing seems to be a universal fit. the enemy red shows up fine.

Also on the maps I have had to darken the green so I can read it then if the map changes and is a darker green(as in the DA) I have to change it back. Also changing the icon colors makes the DAR dots harder to see on the map.

Yeah, tried all kinds of colors. Here are the problems I run into.

Change Friend color so I can see it against sky, now can't see it against ground.

Change friend color so it is visible against sky and ground, can't see in over water (blue)

Some colors look fine in game but now can't see dots on radar.

I just have not found a combinatin that works. I am so used to the green/red combination that is just seems wierd with other colors.
