Show Orbits suggestion

guest · Post #1by **guest** » 27.07.2003, 20:13

Chris,
I have never posted a suggestion or "bug" report, because I have just been in awe of the program, and its many contributors. But I'd like to make a suggestion now, and you forum members can tell me if I'm all wet......
I'd like to see the lines showing (tracking) the orbits of objects be somewhat thinner or darker. (I am using version 1.2.5). For some reason, the current lines/colors just strike me as overkill, and a more subtle line might look better; IMHO.
Like I said, just a suggestion. Many thanks to everyone for such a fantastic piece of software!!
Ron

Have you tried turning off line smoothing with Ctrl+X? It results in more jagged lines, but they are thinner . . . I might make the antialiased line weight customizable. I actually prefer thinner lines as well but I don't want to give up antialiasing.

I don't have any problems with the lines, Celestia to me is almost completly flawless I don't have problems with anything.
A year before I got Celestia I was running on a 8 mb Graphics card.
One day I installed a game, it ran very slow. My dad told me I needed a 16mb graphics card, next day He told me he got a Graphics card for me.
He told me to guess what kind, I asked if it was 16mb, He smiled and said 64. I was happy that day...
