UI Hell in 3.3

To me it shows it does work unexpected for people using the color override. I'm not sure what you mean, but thats what I'm trying to say :)
I'm not using the color override, and I don't have any UI coloring issues.


It doesn't. The text that OP is referring to is blue if you don't change HUD colours while most other stuff is orange. OP changed his HUD colour to blue which also changes the blue text to orange. That's exactly what should happen. OP wrongly assumed that the text is orange in the original version and that the HUD colour modification didn't apply to it, which is wrong because the text isn't orange but blue.

Does the UI react unexpected for OP or not?

Perhaps better to say "works as intended" or "as designed", since guessing what any individual player is going to expect is unreasonable.
 
OP has not clue of what to expect, so everything to him will react unexpected. But in reality, the UI reacts exactly as it should! So color scheme changes work as expected.

I'm not gonna quote myself, but that's exactly what I'm trying to say :)
OP thinks he found a bug. He thinks the UI shows unexpected behavior, while in fact its caused by him using an undocumented feature.

No. Nothing is caused by anything. The UI does precisely what it should, undocumented or not. The only problem is that OP didn't realise that the original colour already is blue.
 
I really have no idea what you are talking about.

The issue that OP is talking about doesn't exist. Not because he is using an undocumented feature but because the issue simply isn't there. He can't cause unexpected behaviour when everything works precisely as expected.
 
Yeah Im honestly lost now, It looks like you two should be argeeing with each other to me.

We are both believing that there is no issue but for different reasons. Vandaahl things there is no issue because OP is using an undocumeted feature, I believe there is no issue because the behaviour of the UI is correct.

And you still don't see we are saying the same thing?

I am not sure. ;)
You are saying that OP caused some unexpected behaviour, but the behaviour isn't unexpected at all. OP simply failed to realise that the original colour already was blue, hence he thought that the colour change didn't apply to the text. In fact, the colour change did exactly what it was supposed to do. So OPs issue is not that he is using an undocumented feature but that he doesn't knew what the colour should look like.

The color override tweak is kind a whole shift in hue on area of color.
It's a TWEAK, not an legit option. It's not assumed by FD.
Meaning anyone can blurt any arrangement of color, no matter harmonious / readable it will be ...
How the hell could anyone have any quality control on it? Do you even think?

I'm sorry, but blaming it on FD without even questionning the process looks a bit like blind entitlement.

I dont think he was saying that it was BECAUSE it was an undocumented feature that the OP was having issues, though. I think he was just saying it was an undocumented feature to describe the act of going into the config file and changing things.

Why doesn't he know what the original colors are?

I think, because he is using an undocumented feature.
You think, because nothing is caused by anything?

I'll leave it at that, this is getting awkward.
 
He doesn't know what the original colours are because ... the colour was changed according to his settings.

Right. I refer to the color changing mechanism as an undocumented feature (simply because that is what it called in software engineering land). So how is the above any different from what I say?
