Does that royal blue in the chat window from other team members drive you nuts because it's so hard to read? Maybe it's my eyeballs but I found a way to change the color; as well as all the colors. Saw a post from back in 2010 on the ED forum and it works. It involves changing two files, one in your DCS folder and one in your saved games folder. Use Notepad++ or some other editor. Caution - make backups of the originals just in case.
In the DCS folder: scripts/net/main.lua
You will find some code:
-- bind config
server.config = config.server
client.config = config.client
Add a line below these as follows:
-- bind config
server.config = config.server
client.config = config.client
ui = config.ui
In your saved games folder: DCS/config/network.cfg
Add the following section (I put it at the bottom):
ui = {
local_player_color = 0xE8C500,
other_player_color = 0xFFFFFF,
log_msg_color = 0xFF9000,
side_none_color = 0xFFFFFF,
side_red_color = 0xFF0000,
side_blue_color = 0x0000FF,
}
The hex values are colors. They are, in order:
mustard
white
orange brown
white
reddish brown
royal blue
The side blue color is the problem. I changed it to 2EFF00 to use a bright green color. So the last line for me is:
side_blue_color = 0x2EFF00,
After I saved the file I noticed the hex values show up as the decimal equivalent.
I used the web site:
http://www.mathsisfun.com/hexadecima...mal-colors.htm
to help show colors in hex and decimal.
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
