Color console

Post by trepan »

I'm just curious as to whether or not
anyone is using the colorized messages
in the bzflag console (message window).

Yes. I use color with underlining. I find the color useful, especially in quickly spotting TK's, but not sure about the usefulness of underlining. I tried blinking, but found it to be distracting.

irritating colors...

Well..I don't like and don't use colors in the console because all the colored text everywhere and this eye-catching killer-blinking is really confusing...for me.
Colored messages are not that useless ... but I just don't like it.

*votes for blinking*
I think I might try underline, but this was the default, and I can't play without it!

/me uses underline and color...

it's not distracting like blinking, and it's useful to see wat team everyone is on.
