Doh !

Just increase the visibility of your colors. More specifically : celestial grid and its labels, constellation lines, constellation labels and borders, the galactic labels and maybe increase a bit the planet labels. About the default palette, I'm not even asking about any color changes at all, just the visibility !

Personally, I don't care much which palette is really used as default, since we can EASILY adapt it to our personal taste. For my students in their laboratory, I can easily adapt the *permanent* "school" config file and start script to fit my needs in relation to my astronomy courses. However, I'm thinking about the other users around the world, which may don't even know that we can change the colors, and which may have some visibility problems on their screen (dim and dark lines, labels, etc), or which may have some vision problems. Celestia needs a "standard" palette which is visible on ALL systems, for anybody.

Indeed, I was just kidding, despite his "caract??re de cochon" I still appreciate Cham!


Hmm, wasn't ElC avatar a kind of cosmic mouse ? :twisted: <-- cat seeing a mouse !

And indeed, despite his "criss de t??te dure", I still like very much ElChristou ! Image

I noticed the scripts I see here discusssed refer to colors as numbers like 0.0, .48, .7)
Iam not a programmer but an artist and used to thinking of colors as rgb and 0-255 etc

what do these decimal numbers represent so I can alter them and get colors I would like?
Thanks
steve

Steve,

Celestia colors are defined using rgb values in the range 0->1.
To convert your r, g, b 'artistic' values, just use r/255, g/255, b/255.

Thanks for that color info Vincent. :)

Is there a way to change the colors of seperate Lables?
Like I would like my cities labels to be one color and my landing sites another color
and my crater labels another color?
Can this be done yet?
thanks
steve
