Feature suggestion: modifyable console colors

Post by Mat3k »

I noticed that gamma tweaking in ET also makes the console brighter. Unfortunately, tje background becomes so bright that it's impossible to read stuff from the console sometimes. Would it be possible to make an option for selecting colors used for fonts and background or alternatively, just puting in an option to make the background completely black and leave everything else as-is?

The console is handled (almost?) entirely by the engine, so there's not much we can do. Stop the r_gamma 42 madness. :?

I would like something similar to this, but not exactly. I was wondering if it is possible to make the charge bars and health bars a different color.

I don't have much stuff tweaked in my config, but it would be nice to make the charge bar and health bar a much bolder color to be easier to see.

Bani I hope you take this one into consideration. Thanks in advance. I'll have my fingers crossed =)
