Changing orbit colors

Post #1by arlduc » 09.01.2008, 21:50

Is there a way to change the color of an individual orbit (i.e. of one spacecraft) and/or of all the orbits of a group (say, the spacecraft category)?

thanks!

arlene,

I don't know of any way to change the orbit color of an individual object, but starting with Celestia v1.5.0pre4 you can specify whatever orbit colors you want for any of the Class specifications.

For details, see the thread "Revised Colors for Celestia v1.5.0pre4" at http://celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11607

I think you may be able to specify the colors in celestia.cfg, but I'm not sure.

You can change colors via any celx, so if you want them permanent, a start.celx could do the trick.
