HUD Color

Postby Mouse » Tue Jun 30, 2015 3:43 pm

I am shade blind, I can see colors but shades tend to blend into each other. As I explore I find I have issues with the orange mainly because if I'm near a star I basically loose a lot of my HUD because I can't see it against the star.

Anyone have a good color combination for their HUD? I heard there was a way to change it

Have a look at this thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthrea ... Hud+colour

It's one of several that uses the colour changer tool to discuss different schemes. I think different schemes are subjective but you can play around with them and see the impact here http://arkku.com/elite/hud_editor/#them ... _0_1_0.5_0

Well this is so simple I hope they will add it in future versions into the game as ingame menu, come on even old final fantasy games had this :D

I played around with the hud color changer for a while but I could just not get past the fact that on the radar friendlies were almost always red and ship I was in combat with were almost always a shade of the new hud color.

Well I played with it again and actually I don't really mind having a hot pink hud if it means enemies are red and good guys are blue. IDK it would all depend on how well the scheme reacts to lowering the intensity.

Thank you so much and I apologize Flip, I did a search but not a good one apparently.

No need to apologize, Mouse! These are links I bookmarked. Really not sure a search would have turned them up.
