after fgu 5.1.0 update, pointer colors are generally distractedly brighter and don't seem to match color setting preference. from the opacity (can't see tokens under the area pointers), i'm guessing the transparency coding got affected somehow?

one instance with circle pointer, it looks as if it got inverted (see image)?

with your update...

so, it wasn't inverted... just looked like it was with the original color that was chosen (light blue seen in color selector of first image).

here are some results of different colors...


lighter color

darker seems to work better-ish, but this contrast / harsh visual didn't used to be an issue regardless what color was chosen.

black looks most "correct," but hard to see in certain areas, and also indistinguishable with mask.

Thanks for following up. The shader changes were not properly being applied to the pointers. A fix has been committed, and it should be resolved in the next hot fix.
