Change Ruler/Protractor Colors ?

donde · 05-06-16, 09:25 AM

Hi. I'd like to change the colors of the Ruler and Protractor tools. They seem to draw in Red then go grey, despite any attempts to change their color.

Maybe I'm missing something... I Right Click on the Ruler, the Color change window appears, I dial in the new color, say Green 255, then click on the new Color square as per the mouse over popup, then ... nothing, no change. I can't get it to apply the change.

Playing SH5 with NewUI by TDW. Thanks for your help.

Thx THEBERBSTER, though I think you're answering a different question than I asked?

RIGHT CLICK on the Ruler... a popup window appears, in theory allowing you to change the tool line color. Only it doesn't seem to work, and I've tried ever possible click, close window variation.

I've seen screenshots posted by TDW that show the tools can draw lines in different colors. Just can't figure out the magic to make it happen.

Well I guess THEBERBSTER was right after all... Right Clicking on the Ruler or Compass brings up a tool to change colors, but it doesn't work.

The only way change them is through the General Patcher... which is perfectly Okay for my needs. I can read the angles and measurements far better now.
