Just a quickie

07-30-08, 08:33 AM

Hi all,

in the crew management screen in GWX 2.1 with SH3 Commander, the compartment background is in navy blue and the type (ie: crew member names) show up in black.

I'm finding it difficult to make out the crew member names against the dark background.

Is there a way of altering a file or setting so that the type shows in white or light blue etc.?

Could you post an example screenshot of the text colour problem?

07-31-08, 02:28 PM

I would but i've never tried to post a screenshot before.

Having recently re-loaded XP i discovered i hadn't installed a photo editing prog.

So i did that, took a screenshot, converted it to 800x 600 jpg, but it now seems i have to register with photobucket or some photo hosting website and paste a link in my post cos i can't attach the screenshot to the post directly.
Starting shift pattern at work toniight so it may be a while.
Sorry dude.

You don't need to edit the screenshot. Photobucket will convert it to jpeg and the right size automatically. Then you don't even have to right-click and copy, just click on the bottom 'img' line and then come here and paste it. I've not seen anything easier.

Virgin, egh? Never done IT before?

PM me if you need assistance. I can also host your pictures for nothing. Better than than that ImageShack CRAP.

Ignore Sailor Steve. He's ...... a problem that won't go away. 'Nuf said". Just ignore his 15,600+ posts. We just put up with him because he has a PC that only a girl would use for gaming rig and there are so few girls around here ... we put up with his crap until he wears his/her first training bra and wears a dignified blouse that upholds the spirit of SUBSIM.com spirit of "A Nice Place to Visit".

I care for a GOOD freind that I met at SubSim, we "talked" to each other via a cell phone call - once.

Sailor Steve = Good person to know.

He's a NICE person to know.

Either that or she's gonna fire a full spread at u when she gets in range :rotfl:

Oh, there are so many things about ML that you don't know yet.

Scary things.

Things a sensible person should never have to find out.

ps Any luck with the screenshots?

raymond6751 · 08-04-08, 06:04 PM

So you DID IT on a cell phone, eh?

Was it set to vibrate?

08-04-08, 07:27 PM

Well we all know what the real ML was famous (infamous?) for

So she can't be all bad

I think i best change the subject now b4 i get in twuble.

.....Erm not tried photobucket, or Pm'ing ML yet lol . . . for hosting assistance of course

. . . ure honor. . .

Seems u lot are determined to get me posting a screen shot.

Ure mean, all of ya

All i wanna know is how to change the typo colour in the crew management/u-boat damage screen.

If i click on a compartment, the details of the compartment are explained in white type, but if i click on a crew member . . . (those connotations just won't go away will they

),. . . his name and rank come up in black type.

I just wanna change the black type to some other colour so i can see it easier against a dark blue background.
