Changing the text color....

Post #1by Guest » 27.08.2002, 10:16

Hi:

How can I change the program text color? I can't see what is print in the screen on labels or in the upper right/left corner. The text color is black and the universe background too :roll:

Thanks.

That's strange... the font should be purple-blue. I don't know how to change the colour, but have you checked your monitor brightness? That's all I can think of...

This is a bug. What graphics card are you using? Some older cards don't have proper support for alpha blending, and this could be causing the problem. I can code a workaround if I can have some details on your graphics hardware.

ATI RAGE XL AGP 2X. 8 Mbytes. I downloaded the low resolution version of Celestia.

Thanks,

Hi I'm new to Celestia and think it's brilliant but I too can't see the fonts as they are black. I'm sure it would greatly enhance my viewing if I were not "Lost In Space!!". My graphics card is an ATI Rage Fury 32 Mb. Please Help. :?[/url]
