Hello, I had an idea yesterday while browsing may shield hardeners in fitting window. Actually the only way to know which hardener is fitted is to place the cursor on it, which is not very practical I think. I've quickly colorised my hardeners using photoshop, and here's what it could look a like. Fast preview :
colorized Hardeners
the same method could be applied to armor Hardeners, the same way What do you think about that ?
(sorry for my awful english)

I can agree with that but it might be easier to just add a second tag like the T2 and faction icons. just have it set to a color and maybe throw it in the bottom right. ----------- Born Amarr, Raised Minmatar. |

I like this. It would work for armor hardeners too, and makes it easy to see what you have fitted or what you are looting from a wreck without having to individually check.

+1 Brilliant Idea!
I never had the chance to see them side by side but from a glance, it looks as if the heat hardener may be too close in color to the invuln field. Perhaps make the heat resistance amplifier a little more red. |

Only issue I'd have is that the blue hardener kinda looks like a booster. and unless you put your cursor over it... you won't know if that's a photon scattering field or shield booster. Which is the same kinda problem as we had before... it would be far simpler to have a logo on the middle of the shield. Like the graphical representation in the attributes section. So the Therm damage resist emblem would be on the thermic hardener and so on.

will try to add a logo on it this evening, just to see how it works ą but keep in mind its just a general idea about colorizing hardeners. stay tuned, and many thanks for the feedbacką

IF the purpose is to clarify the hardener type why not just put an etched:
EM TH KI EX OM
On the icon (embossed or etched) near the upper left corner of the shield (along with or instead of the coloring.)
Idgarad says: "The Path to a good life is paved in misfortune. We tread upon misfortune to see value in what is good."

here's the two others possibilities you asked about ą but I still prefer the first ones. Anyway this is a very fast rough, and I repeat its just to illustrate the ideaą CCP has its own designers, and they are quite good
basic orange and icons Colorized with icons

Very good idea.
The one I like the most is the colorized with tags version.
I want this for shield and armor hardener in the next patch.

Given the difficulties of players with colour blindness, the combination of colours and tags seems an ideal solution.

This is a fairly good idea.... although I'd have the colors of each hardener match drone race colors....

I love it, I didn't realize how much trouble I was going through having to mouseover on my hardeners. I'd often undock to do a mission and not until I get into it I realize I fitted the wrong hardeners.
While you're at it, maybe you should use an invulnerability field for contrast on the image.
Besides the color, sometimes it'd be nice to just have the option to always show the names of fitted items. That would help people with red-blindness be even able to tell the difference between the current shield boosters and hardeners. ------------------------------- The fox chases for her meal, but the rabbit runs for her life. |

Hell, I'd like to see the tags with all damage-based modules. Problem is a lot of different ammunition types have multiple kinds of damage... and the tags would have to be away from the tech level tag.
All it would take is an artist to touch up the existing art, it'd be an hour at most and require no localization.
It'd be nice if there were some elements in EVE that could be modified on the client side, but when you open that up the security concerns would be daunting. ------------------------------- The fox chases for her meal, but the rabbit runs for her life. |
