Problem: When you receive a message ingame, the color of the message is dark blue. The background color is also dark, so the message is hard to read.

Solution: Give the private messages an other color. My suggestion is light blue. (I want light because then its easier to read and keep the blue because it has always been blue.. (we are not making a mod))

Questions: Is this possible? Is this a good idea? Will you guys add it to your releases?

Thanks.

PS: Off-Topic Chit Chat will NOT be tolerated in my thread.

Light blue won't work on say... a light blue sky... which appears on Canyon Complex etc.

I Would suggest a Flouresant Green, or light green, as that would stand out against most if not all backgrounds.

There is already a post with links to skins that allow to change the color of the message box.

He's not asking how to change the color of the message box. He is asking to change the color of the message.

You need practice in reading comprehension.

No, it is easier to edit the text background texture to make blue more readable but editing the text colour has to be done via editing the game exe.

I don't wanna change the background texture, because if I make it darker I won't be able to see whatever is behind the text. And lighter: hmm.... Not sure.. I haven't really tried it yet... I just prefer to change the text color...

I'm not sure but I think that light blue with the half transparent background texture that we have now will be good readable even with the sky in the background...
I prefer not to change it to green or red or whatever, because then it's not really a fix anymore, but more like a 'mod'. Confused

Btw: TheCodeSmith.com doesn't have anything that can help me in changing the text (nor the background texture).
