View Full Version : Help the color blind - tooltips quick fix

I love that Cosmos has a feature that changes the background colors used in the player and NPC tooltip window.

But I'm color blind in reds and greens. So when I hover over an NPC that will attack me (red) your tooltip shows a red background with the name (text) of the NPC in red too.

That's impossible for me to read. Being color blind in reds, I do not see as many shades as other people. I'm sure it's hard to read for non-color blind too.

I suggest that you color the text yellow (like with the old WoW style) instead of red when mousing over NPCs that will attack.

I looked through your code myself and have some ideas how to fix it, but I don't want to mess with your code. So, I'll leave it for you. I just hope you can get it fixed quickly so we can read those tooltips :)

Thanks a ton for all your great work!

It shouldn't be too terribly hard to have a "Colorblind" type flag available to give the tooltips a higher contrast value if needed.
