(Option for) white chat messages in mp

Post by Usul »

Hi!

In multiplayer, instead of chat messages being displayed in the player's color which is hard to read on colored background, how about (an option for) displaying all chat messages in white to improve readability. It would be enough to display only the player name in the player color. Personally, I find following the chat messages in multiplayer strenuous because of all the different colors; perhaps other players would agree?

So long! 8-)

I'd like some kind of black "shading" on the chat text, regardless of what colour it is, because it increases the contrast against the background.

Is there a chance this idea will be implemented by the time the big 1.0 is out? I am convinced it will improve readability of the chat a lot. I guess many players would agree that the mixed colors text is difficult to read on a mixed colored backround.

Please implement this by 1.0, because the chat is way too colorful and difficult to read. Most games have colored player names, colon, then white message text. Thank you! 8-)
