Auto text color inversion (like cursor)?

Post #1by don » 22.04.2004, 17:02

Would it be possible to automatically invert the text color in Celestia (HUD and script fonts) when necessary -- just like the cursor color is automatically inverted from white to black?

For example, white text on black space is very nice, but white text on a sun or cloudy Earth is not. It can be very difficult to read.
