Ms Forum Alt Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 60	Posted - 2015.01.02 19:06:44 - [1] - Quote OK perhaps not brown, but black, or some other shady shade. I used to distinguish the characters I had logged in, either with alt-tab or the task bar in windows, by colour. Since the UI changes in the client (which overall I like by the way), I have been unable to do this because the secondary colour in almost all colour schemes is very hard to distinguish from any other. Here's what I'd like: The ability to choose whatever RGB combination I would like for foreground or background. You know, pretty much like I had before. I'm asking here so I don't have to embarrass my local CSM to bring it up. I don't have multiple monitors but I do have multiple characters. Thank you .

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1524	Posted - 2015.01.03 00:08:14 - [4] - Quote Brown or not brown, the request for an RGB slider is still valid. And frankly, I'm highly surprised this hasn't been implemented yet. We've had it before, and everyone used it. Why not now? Clearly every theme is made of two colors...

Nevyn Auscent Broke Sauce 1855	Posted - 2015.01.03 00:44:30 - [5] - Quote I actually like the current themes colours vs utter customisation. For me it provides more connection with the game world. Same as if/when we get ship paint I don't want it to be utterly customisable, but linked to the in game corps, with alliances being able to request a custom alliance paint same as custom logo rules. And then you can change some aspects like add an extra overlay pattern or different logo's at points. As again, extra connection to the game world.

Alvatore DiMarco Capricious Endeavours Ltd 3217	Posted - 2015.01.03 05:08:43 - [7] - Quote I'm quite sure there was a specific reason behind limiting the themes as they did. I'm not sure specifically what it was, though.

I'm not sure specifically what it was, though. Because a neon pink and white Hello Kitty color scheme might not portray the tone CCP wants to convey when used on recorded videos?
Krops Vont Hard Knocks Inc. 34	Posted - 2015.01.03 06:49:23 - [9] - Quote They didn't like my UI setup. As with any human, we must map out everything for the sake of living. So what happens when you put the same aspect in a game with random events? They go nuts trying to figure out how to predict and map out everything.

Thank you . so instead I have to 'pick it up second hand' Asking me to look into something never embarasses me, it is what I am here for, although I would like a bit more detail on this one, foreground/background of what? Character selection screen on login? Portraits themselves? A few weeks to summit, please let me know so I can add it to my infamous book m Mike Azariah-á CSM8 and now CSM9

Aiyshimin Shiva Furnace 290	Posted - 2015.01.03 09:28:49 - [11] - Quote I use different themes on my characters for this purpose and have no issues easily telling them apart.
Zappity Stay Frosty. A Band Apart. 1698	Posted - 2015.01.03 10:06:52 - [12] - Quote I LOVE the option to set the scheme based on the ship racial type. Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec.
Khaylinn Akhunshar Popular People's Front of Judea 4	Posted - 2015.01.03 12:11:43 - [13] - Quote The new themes are very beautiful, and i love the option to switch themes based on what ship you are flying. But I aswell wish CCP would give us back the option to make our own themes

For me it provides more connection with the game world. I'm not asking for themes to be removed, only for an "advanced" option so that I can use stronger foreground/background combinations that contrast more with each other, so I can immediately recognise them when I see them in the task bar pop-up or alt-tabbing through my characters.

CCP stated in a few of their posts on this topics and others that the reason for not having this as well as making so many of the new changes forced rather than toggleable is to create a more controlled user experience. you know because thats what we play eve for

But this is pretty basic stuff. It's not as if I particularly like the new transparency shader anyway (the one that blurs windows in space rather than simply multiplying out the alpha). I suspect it's one of the reasons window background colour has been restricted to brown. Some work still needs to be done on this CCP Arrow!

Donnachadh United Allegiance of Undesirables 84	Posted - 2015.01.04 16:55:40 - [20] - Quote Pure idle speculation here. The ability to have color sliders for the ui AND having the ui change colors for each ship put to large a load on the server/client. Another thought, the additional data storage for every ship in the game was more than they were willing to dedicate to a UI task. If any of this is true I would rather have limited color options and the ability to change color schemes based on the ship I am flying.
