Fish tab background

Quick Death · 05-06-2003, 05:43 PM

The fish tab background where the fish are displayed is black. It looks much prettier IMHO in MAT/MA in white. Any chance of changing this preference screen back to white?

You are the first person who has requested a white background.

It was changed to black due to popular demand.

I also think the White background looks MUCH better than the black one. The fish available for the GA seem to have much more black on their fins and tails, as opposed to the MA where the fish have different colors. The while would allow the user to see the fish better, whereas the black background simply makes the fish more difficult to see. I think the white background would make the fish clearer...anybody else agree?

What's wrong with an aquarium background gradient? Possibly with the color changing in real time.

Because these icons were not created with transparency and a proper alpha channel-enabled icon will only display on Windows XP.
