Hi,

can you please revert the Parallax change to the bars in the probe scanner window? Now the green bars are only very thin and that's not good.

Reason: It really hurts my eyes, I must now focus them very hard.

I hope that I won't be called being too old for EVE :-) But I really think it's a step backward concerning the accessibility, and I can't see any benefit from the recent change.

Thanks,

Sol

my own problem : previous bar filling made the name of the sig unreadable : contrast issue and eye sight issue. bright background with white text = not good

now the text is readable which is way more important than the color, that is given 3 times, in map as a round circle, in ui as a % and this little bar that is small but doesn't need a specific focus.

text like type is only given once

I know the developers took a lot of efforts and time into the improvements, but sadly I have similar issues.
The thin green bars not only hurt my eyes, after I take a look at the probe scanner window I can see them as ghost shadows for several minutes. That's distracting and annoying.

Maybe there's a chance to do some adjustments. I would appreciate that.

Thanks a lot. Unchecked it and are happy again with the old scanner window. Big smile
