If this mod doesn't already exist, I'll see about putting one together.

Actually, just did this... yesterday, day before? My eyes aren't quite what they used to be.

Edit:
Had to switch computers and do a quick upload, but here they are:

There's two versions. One is a larger (doubled the size of the graphic), the other is darker (just upped the contrast). Try them out, see if they work for you.


Edit the edit:
They modify the protractors on the ruler and the angle tool. Those were the only ones I had a need for.

that's what happens, razark, when you are a seasoned, battle hardened verteran when you turn 25.

Nifty! Those are some simple changes, but effective.

I'm still thinking about completely redoing them from scratch, though. I need a project.

New tools work a treat - thanks Razark.

It was really just a quick and dirty "Can I do this?" sort of mod. I'll run it for a few days and see if it works for me. If it works well enough, yippy. The hardest part was finding which files I needed to modify.

Glad somebody finds it useful. It wasn't really something I planned on posting, bit if it's usable, have at it.

It is indeed useful.

Ok, I think my new map tool cursors are ready to share. I'm putting together a JSGME package now. Screenshots are from 1680x1050 resolution.

And so ends my long reign as king of the protractors. Usurped by some four post upstart.





Seriously, those look nice. Can't wait to try them out.

Good job!
