Background

Quick Death · 09-25-2003, 09:07 PM

Yucky, the black background on the prefs screen makes identifying the fish horrible, especially "Morgan" since he is all black. The white background was MUCH better. I don't know why it was changed on MA/MAT/GA, but it was MUCH, MUCH better. Bring it back, or atleast make it a hidden registry tweak!

I like this Floridian style of polling, – will have to get back to you on the actual issue though.

Yes Tiny, hehe

If you give me money I'll vote for white! Not? OK
black is beautifull

Well, we do have a lot of dark-finned fish now. Are you proposing to change the background of the "tank" and "fish info" boxes as well or just the fish library?

I prefer the black. Anyway Morgan DOES have a white halo. Perhaps the other dark fish could be highlighted a wee bit, too.

IXNAY · 09-27-2003, 07:23 AM

Yeah I want them a bit brighter too!!!
just to see some details

Why does everything have to be black or white. Can't there be, um like, shades of uncertainty?

lol

Well hopefully in the future, the fish will be alpha channeled and then they can be put on any background color we want. Maybe even fully XML compliant.

i hope that future version is not only can put desired color for the background but also support bitmap images.
eg: aquarium tank glass background.
that will be sooo cool!!!

I suggested no backgroundcolor for the freshwatertank once but Jim didn't liked the idea. Maybe Prolific thinks different about it.
Well my idea was to put a picture or something like that as background. Maybe userdefined so you can put realistic or unrealsitic ones in. Think about it...

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
