EVE General Discussion

I have 4 accounts and have been away for more than 2 years.

I logged into the "Alpha" clone to look around and see how the game is.
I am unable to find the Color Theme section in the general
settings?

I am not color blind. However; I have color related vision problems. I need to
set my UI with the correct colors and shades or I am unable to play.

I submitted a ticket 3 days ago, but of course no reply.

Have they taken the ability to change the color theme's of the UI out
of the game?

Before I actually pay real money. I want to see the basics of the game again
and see how they feel. I sure hope not. If they did, they just lost my accounts.
Also; I have talked the game up to some friends who are now interested in
giving it a try. As you can see this creates a problem. Most likely, we will find
other games to play if I cannot sort out the color settings.

Any help would be appreciated.

who needs window blur, when you have beer!

edit
hope you find a preset that lets you play ok.

He's also referring to the fact alpha clones are limited to the black theme "dark matter" only and can't use any of the presets either
If you go to the alpha account and into the settings the entire right side of the menu where the themes were are just gone. It's completely blank and doesn't even list dark matter.

Sorry but yes they did. As I typed in the replies above alpha clones only get the black theme you'll have to wait for them to get to your ticket, they're getting a lot of tickets for login issues after the update on the 15th

If only pipe....

I suspect its something stronger.

Trying to incentivize it? Because not being able to use the majority of the items available in the game isn't incentive enough. :P

If the eve UI genuinely took into account people who're color blind and provided them with options in the UI to address weakness in the viewing of some colors, it'd be rather helpful.

Hmm had access to the colour presets on my accounts when I loaded them up again as alpha - since used ISK to PLEX and convert them to omega so can't prove it :S I know coz 2 accounts loaded up on dark matter and one loaded up with a blue theme and I changed it to dark matter and then checked what the others were using. Weird.

Long past time the game had settings for people who are colour blind though - so many games these days do and its fairly obvious one - not that I've really looked into what the game has to accommodate people who are as I'm not colour blind myself.

Id love to see at least a few options. Perhaps racials plus the black and a color blind option should be enough. Thats 6 options instead of all of them. Then have the rest greyed out like the Omega skills list. It has more incentive to upgrade if you know what your missing out on but still SOME choice.

This one boggles my mind a bit. UI colour schemes should be part and parcel of any good set of graphics options, just like screen rez or texture settings. Colour settings aren't a balancing issue, and they should be available for alphas. Other than "to encourage people to sub", for which there is a tonne of other stuff already, I can't think of a good reason for this. It's kinda dumb tbh.
