Graphic Request Please....

Post by Suvorov928 »

Can a modification be made to the white movement number on the bottom of the Corps counters on the board? It is a white number on a light gray background and almost impossible to see. Maybe you can make the move number red or something?

My old tired eyes need all the help they can get. [:D]

I cannot see where this would be a problem?
Anybody else want to chime in here?

On the main screen, on the bottom of the Corps counters, is the name of the Corps, followed by a white Number, which is the movement number of the corps.  I.E., 3 for inf., 4 for Cav., 4 for French Inf, etc.  You see the name of your corps if you own it, otherwise, for other countries, all you see is a small white number on the bottom of the corps counter.  I have to squint in order to read this and even then I can barely see it.  It is white on a light gray background.

I can see it, but he's right: It's hard. I imagine it would be worse for some nations than for others. Also, if one is partially color-blind, it could be a real problem.

I think black on a light gray background would look ok.

Maybe it is my laptop, but I am having a very hard time seeing those numbers.  I adjusted some of my settings, and it has helped a little bit, but I still think a darker colored number would be better.
