NPCs in the Combat Tracker

[spoonhead]

Is it possible to get FGU to show the NPCs in the CT back to red/yellow/green so that it's easier to spot? The red stripe down the side is quite thin and hard to spot. The red stripe also disappears when the NPC is selected.

I mean, did anyone complain about the colours previously?

What ruleset and theme are you using? In the standard theme (in 5e) the NPCs have a red border as well as the thick red line to the left and a red icon showing their faction on the right. The selected actor also has a blue border and there's a big icon on the left pointing to the actor

Hello, and thanks for posting.

Yes - there were complaints about the overbearing color usage that was there previously, so we made some updates to tone it down.

It's unlikely that we would return to using so much color, but we'll monitor feedback and make adjustments that would get at the root cause in other ways if we need to. The active row eliminating the colored stripe isn't intended, so we'll get that resolved in an upcoming release.

Thanks!

Also, you can use the Theme: Legacy - Baron to get the old look and feel.

Your image highlights the problem clearly. The selected NPC loses any red colour border and stripe, with only the faction button showing whether it's a friend or foe (or neutral). Is it not possible to have just a hint of red?

I understand the need to tone it down, but it's gone completely. A pale red surely could have been used? Zacchaeus' image is quite useful in that regard.

It seems like you're specifying the active row in your latest comments, and as I said in my reply, the active row eliminating the colored stripe isn't intended, so we'll get that resolved in an upcoming release.

A wider stripe would also be nice.

Quick update here - the active row will now have the stripe as intended, and the stripe's width has been doubled, as of the next build.
