For PC1 is there a way to make Unit visually stand out on map?

[jrregan]

Getting old and having more visual issues, is there a way to have unit graphics on a hex stand out better on the Panzer Corp map background?

thx,
Joseph

I had some trouble with this at the start as well until I discovered that increasing the brightness of my monitor helped a lot.
Never had any issue with it but for PC it was just too dark.

Thanks, I'll go ahead and try that. I might have to go back to 1080p, love the whole screen 4k but I have to get up to peek at the suppression value (blue) for my victims.

To see suppression I have to look closer as well, a small but important number...

@PanzerTum: you can change the color in ../UI/combatlog.htm (line 42, [.suppress]), i use #6060FF.

@jrregan: i guess you know settings/show unit glow.

great point! 6060FF seems to be default though

mistake/typo:
6060FF is original indeed.
6090FF should be my advice.

to change colour on main screen, please change ../UI/main.htm (line 237).

Thank you! This is my #23ff00

This is excellent. Definitely going to do this. Dang organic eyeballs! It's the 21st Century weren't we supposed to have at least some cyborg implants by now?

I don't have that in my folder; have a UI/combatlog.html which opens an image

As Windows likes to control things these days, first you need to right click any of the HTM files in the 'UI' folder, then select 'Properties' at the bottom of the pop-up menu, then on the next screen where it says 'Opens with' near the top, hit the 'Change' button and select 'Notepad'. This will not alter the file, just the program it opens with when clicked on. Now, all the HTM files should have a Notepad icon and when you open them you will see a text file that you can edit. To change the color as in the image just above, open the 'Main.htm' file and scroll down about a third of the file to where you see 'span.suppression' with 'color: #6060FF' below it (this is just above the area where the program lines get much longer and are closer together). Change the color to whatever you desire (#23FF00) is the green shown above. Be sure to 'save' the file and it should work the next time you open PC. If you want to change the dark blue color for suppression in the combat log also, select 'combatlog.htm' and do the same things. This is a much shorter file so you don't need to scroll far and will see the colors for kills, suppression, etc. I changed the suppression value to #6090FF (also mentioned above) on mine. It's just a lighter blue which gives more contrast with the dark background whereas I prefer the brighter green on the main screen due to the smaller font there.
