More color choices in windows/menus in the UI

Greetings fellow capsuleers,

After doing some research, i do not know why this is not asked of the devs.

Please, let there be more choices for the colors of windows and menu items in the UI.

I would love to have the window edges colored something else, or the text (global if needed) changed.

If there is already a way to do this, please have a TuT some where. (I have looked, and all I can find is changes for the colors in overview.)

I am talking about the colors in the UI itself. Changing the text and border colors of windows.

As a programmer, and noticing you can already change some of the elements colors within the game, why not expand that and add a few lines to include control over the text colors, border colors, headers of windows, and button/menu highlights.

Seeing as we the players are already limited on the UI choices we have (no UI mods - of which I can understand how bad that went for other games - at least give us the control to choose UI colors that suit our tastes.

Also, if this is emplimented (by the gods yes) - able to save different personal settings for the color choices.

Hopefully this gets read/bumped and not buried in the deep reaches of some isk-hole.


- I would like the community's input on this and as to why you would like to have control of your UI colors, or why you think it should stay the same.

You can color the windows frames and content field independently from each other in every color imaginable/creatable with RGB. That's what the sliders in the right column (Layout) under the General Settings tab in the ESC-menu are for. Only the Text color cannot be changed as far as I know.

Side blow: It surprises me that the best, most social, most knowing, most organized community in the game has no article about that in their wiki or other knowledge bases. Roll *cnr*

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
