Hi! I'm back running Traveller on FGU and have Core Update 2022 and The Third Imperium installed - great job by the authors. I'm finding it hard to read the boxed text in the Third Imperium on FGU, white on light blue or grey? Might be colourblind friendly but definitely not friendly for me to read with my eyes. Unfortunately it's not just me, at least one of my players finds the white text entirely invisible on that background. Is there a way to check it?

Also previous Sector modules include the world UWPs under worlds I believe. Have I missed this for Core? If not I'm happy to make a module with the data in?

I can also produce The Annilik Run for Singularity as a module if people desire it but I don't know if I need to approach Mongoose directly or if someone here has done it?

Anyway good to be back
CJ

I'm not familiar with the system or the books specifically; but are you running any extensions? They might be modifying the colors/boxes.
Otherwise, show me a screen clip example of the book window with a bad example; and I might be able to help adjust the colors.

@Stargrove would be your contact here for converting Mongoose materials. He has been working on this material and can best talk about the process and which items etc.

For the text color, which Theme are you using? I have the normal grey with black text in my book. I am using the standard Traveller theme. Do you have an example/screen shot of what yours looks like?

I can confirm that the system data is missing under Systems from the Third Imperium Book. I had not noticed that before, nice catch.

There is also an extension on the Forge for bringing in your own systems.

Thank you! Yes it turned out I'd somehow clicked on Dark theme and soon as I looked it was obvious not Traveller Blue. I'm happy to report the book is absolutely readable now. :) And I'm entering Core worlds as needed great app Stargrove!
