New Color for Command Radio #32389

That's a lot harder to see, I like the yellow because it pops and makes it easier for command members to notice it. |
|
I quite like the old color. As someone who is not colorblind, I think the yellow stands out a lot more (compared to AI announcement or medical radio). Is there a way to make the new color (or the old color) be an option toggleable in the settings? |
Unless you’re colorblind. Would be nice to have radio color tweakable in options but that’s far outside what I can do. |
|
yes i feel like it should be changed, because it's similar with announcements color |
The announcements color makes sense to be yellow because it's from command. People know it's from command at a glance because of the yellow color. This is why when the AI makes an announcement it is blue, it lets people know it is not from command. Also there just isn't really a good, bright color other than yellow to use. All others are taken by other radio channels. |
|
If we add a colorblind setting in the game options: Which UIs would generally profit the most from that besides the chat colors? Are there any item sprites that cause problems as well? |
There's currently "Colorblind friendly mode" checkbox under Accessibility in options, but having it just be a toggle isn't great when some may want just select changes. |
Since there are different kinds of colorblindness ideally that would be changed into an options button with different selections I would say. I have to check what that button does at the moment. |
|
I am not opposed to changing the color for common instead but figured that would be a way more controversial discussion. Happy to consider it though if anyone has thoughts. |
|
Closing this and opening an issue for continued discussion, since it seems this is generally not a liked solution. |
About the PR
Changes color of command radio channel from yellow to blue.
Why / Balance
From a colorblind accessibility standpoint, the current command radio color is incredibly similar to common at a glance for some people (including myself). This makes playing command a bit more difficult as I have to more frequently check for command related radio messages and often end up missing them entirely.
Only issue remaining that should be added to this PR (or fixed later I suppose) is the color used for this chat section when typing, which is independent from radio_channels.yml and I can't find where it's controlled.
Media
New color
Old Color (and compared to common)
Command headset and encryption key aren't yellow anyways so it still fits theme wise.
