View Full Version : FG Dark theme legibility issue

I love the new FG Dark theme and have basically adopted it as default for my sessions. I have a minor issue.

In a 5E game for example, if I bring up the Items menu (or Races or Classes or most any) and select an item, the black text on charcoal gray is difficult to see. The Items menu, in particular, has white text and black text (and red) so I replaced the graphics / frames / charsheet.png image with a light/mediam gray image in a modified version of the theme and it seems to be a decent balance of contrasts.

Not sure if it's just me or a general issue.

Good day Bangs,
I have looked through the theme and can not see what you are referring to, do you mind posting a screenshot of the exact area you are having an issue?

I just determined this is likely a 3rd party extension issue. I took screen shots with and without PreViewer loaded and get black text for the body of that item and white text when the Previewer extension is not loaded.

I will mention this to the author, who was on Rob2e's stream a few weeks ago. Very sorry for the waste of time.

Also thanks to your team for the quick fix to the Orc and Triton issues on then character builder.

No worries at all. I am glad you sorted that out and made an easy workaround.
I believe DiabloBob worked on that extension.

Thanks so much
JW

A correction, it's not PreViewer, it's a set of fonts, the FGU versions of Lato, Montserrat, Oen Sans and Roboto. I didn't think the fonts affected anything but the chat window. I installed them to try and get sharper text without all the antialiasing based on a FG College suggestion. I will track down the compiler and let them know.

Just as an FYI, Carl updated the font sharpness at various UI scales with the last release yesterday.
