Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Tuesday, 27th December 2016, 14:10Why "red"?
It seems I'm being penalized by god or my skill training is subdued or etc.

Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 00:11what colour do you want?
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 00:26Bright orange?
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 00:33Used to be green IIRC?
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 00:53Yeah, green seems good to me... every time I see the red I feel for a second like there's some problem I need to correct.
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 02:11Yeah, but green is now used for crosstrained skills for some reason.

Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 21:43I feel like blue would definitely be better than red for this.
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Wednesday, 28th December 2016, 21:51iirc some console players said that dark blue text was hard to read on their screens? someone find a console player to confirm/deny; i'll change it if it's not a problem.
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Thursday, 29th December 2016, 00:36i hate this dark blue text crap! but love it on the map!
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Thursday, 29th December 2016, 04:41I find dark blue somewhat hard to read, but not overly so. Not a big deal if it isn't changed.
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Thursday, 29th December 2016, 05:19Change draining to red.
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Thursday, 29th December 2016, 15:18Console player reports: the dark blue is indeed hard to read in Putty. I tried Tedronai's rc file adjustment,but it didn't seem to do anything, so I gave up. decided it wasn't too hard to read, and just lived with it.
The manual colour does seem a bit weird.

Note that in putty, specifically, you can change the color of "blue" to be anything you want.

I concur.
How about lightblue or lightcyan?
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Thursday, 29th December 2016, 21:06Some recent update changed things from darkgrey to darkblue and I hate it so so so so much.
Lightblue for manuals sounds fine.

Bilbo's Little Red Book. From when he defeated the Nationalist Party led by Otho Sackville-Baggins in the Hobbit Civil War and imposed a Revolutionary Government on the Shire. Good times.
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Friday, 30th December 2016, 16:29hrm, turns out there was a very specific reason manuals turned red. not reverting yet, but will have to mull this over further...
Re: Recolor bonus from manuals
Posted: Friday, 30th December 2016, 17:01iratecat suggested upthread making draining red and thus manuals magenta. I still think this would be preferable to manuals being red if blue ends up not being an option
