Please add a UI for changing the HUD color

[Vitamin Arrr]

On PC you can easily mod some text file and change the HUD color away from orange.

But on XBOX we are stuck with it. I didn't mind it before Horizons, but now, every other planet I land on has soil, rocks, and mountains that are the exact same color as the HUD. That, combined with the small text size, makes it really hard to read the coordinates and numbers even on a 55" screen.

What would it take.. 60-90 minutes for one of your crack devs to whip up a little selector of preset basic colors like "red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, orange"? Please please please do it in the next update.

+1 on that. Also, it might be me but it seems that the orange makes you sleeeeepy. There are more people in this cummunity that have the same experiences and wishes. Awesome game though!

C'mon FDev. You even added the ability to change WEAPON COLORS before you added this. WTH, guys!!!

Yes, please.

+1 from me too.

@Vitamin Arrr you've actually picked up on a very good usability/UXP point there. Whilst in space it wasn't so much of a bother (I quite like it), but now we have orangey-browney planets to pootle around on it's a bit of a pain.

I would add though that it may take more than half an hour to add the options in! I work in development (web) and a lot of things that seem easy to do often get quite involved (e.g. amending the commander database to store an additional field for HUD preferences for each user/ship, ensuring the shaders play nicely, adding the options to the UI, so that's a few people involved, plus the QA team will need to test it...), but I do agree it would be an important addition, if only to prevent eyestrain!

I guess it would be a bit like creating CSS themes for a website.

I'd like a HUD with glowy 'peacock' colours: greens, purples and cyan

Good move... NOW they will remove the file for editing it from PC and make it another purchase thing, just like weapon colors : /

OH YEAH Lets add more worthless fluff to the game. LOL Who knows, FD may listen and throw money and effort down the drain. I know it ruins your immersion and it's a game breaker. LMAO

Then make it a pay-for thing. I'd much rather pay for this, than for the g WEAPON colors. I'm an explorer! I don't have weapons!

+1 I am all for this!

Which text file on the PC are you describing?

 

[Miklos Atreides]

Suggest long before requirement. From me and others.
I am pretty sure it is on someones working list, only because
adding nothing to gameplay its prioritized as nice to have.

This way it might come one day, but it looks like not too soon.

So please Development leads, give it a small push in priority so I can
enjoy it before moving into senior home

Regards,
Miklos
