I wish radio V was a different color
« on: May 25, 2008, 11:34:12 AM »
I really wish that radio V text was a different color from all the other channels.

During FSO, trying to distinguish between 2 or 3 tuned channels is very difficult. For example, command is on 150,  they want the squads in a zone on 151 and my squad VOX is 133, plus we use the squad channel. The squad channel is always red even if you tune radio 2 to it, but 133,150 and 151 are all yellow.

It really would be handy for whatever channel is tuned in Radio V to have a distinct color that doesn't change.

Thanks,

I'd like to be able to change the color of all the radios texts like we can for icons.  That would do this and have the benefit of helping people that have less than normal color vision.

I am tuned to other people's vox in radio 2 quite often, and I have found it to be a little tough to distinguish the different vox w/o looking at them.  But usually i can only take glances at it.  So this is another great idea from the Baum-man.  :salute

 I bet you were  :furious  trying to keep up with it.

 Having monitored another channel myself,  :o and

unable to keep up,I feel your pain.

 Great idea,maybe they could use the GUI so we can                                                         make it any color....
