Summary

Hello everyone, I have a problem concerning text color, maybe someone has a solution to that. I replaced the original message boxes with my own design. Looks just fine, but since it's brighter than the original, the white text with black outline didn't look that good on it. Removing the outline was simple, that's just one line of code, but now the text was white only and rather hard to read.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem concerning text color, maybe someone has a solution to that.
I replaced the original message boxes with my own design. Looks just fine, but since it's brighter than the original, the white text with black outline didn't look that good on it.

Removing the outline was simple, that's just one line of code, but now the text was white only and rather hard to read.
Since I didn't know how to change the color of the interface text and was too lazy to add \c[...] to each dialog box, I simply swapped black and white in the Window.png file.
This worked just fine, and it looks good. However, the battle messages are now rather hard to read (see attached image).
So basically, I need to change the battle message text color back to white. And maybe increase the opacity of the text backgrounds a bit, so it stays readable on lighter backgrounds.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Regards

~Raen
