Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I've been gone for a good few years and GD seems like a good place to start. I remember way back when, we used to be able to change the colour appearance of the various windows and menus, as well as font sizes.
These settings were under the general settings tab in the esc menu. Now though, there seems to be no such option. Is there an issue with my client, or did this feature really get removed at some point? If so, wtf?

Jesus. Why? Of all the things to remove, why remove that?

Basically CCP decided to refresh the entire UI and that included being more opinionated about what the colour scheme should be like. So they removed the options for us to set it.

Well that is thoroughly disappointing. Thanks for letting me know. At least now I won't waste any more time trying to find the damn options.

Mods can go ahead and lock this post since it isn't needed now.

Well, there's still the themes and the context menu font size under general settings. Not much, but something at least. |

There is only predefined settings now, I think its been gutted because they wanted minimal amount of code to minimize future problems it could cause, and wanted to make it look more uniform looking just from art style standpoint. Or maybe they were just lazy. =ƒÿ¬
You can change colour only when you are Omega, Alphas are locked to one color setting.

OK, streamlining code I can understand, but locking Alpha accounts to one colour setting is literally the stupidest thing I have ever heard of.

CCP needed to change the UI so that affected font sizes (they changed fonts). Currently we still have the option for choosing font size for the right-click menu, and you can change the font size of any chat window from that window. And they added an "UI scaling" option that will make everything, including fonts, bigger or smaller. People trying to run 4k monitors are complaining that the max UI scaling isn't sufficient, though, so CCP may change that.
The colors were also changed because of the UI. CCP went from a UI full of color to a black/white UI based on shape recognition, with new ship symbols and new icons on the game toolbar being scalable and monochrome. They also decided to get rid of the color sliders and just offer the color packs (Gallente, Minmatar, etc.) that you see under Options. So you can still change the color of the windows, but it's mostly dark colors and a lot less customization. I had some sweet setups: mulberry/purple and dark blue, the current SoE-green and dark blue, a red like my hair and darker red, and some other combos that aren't currently available.
For both changes there were complaints, but CCP changes the UI only so often, so they went ignored. |

Yep, its **** =ƒÆ¬ I will only leave a link to a post I made in the thread about it.
