"Sector Owner" blue colour too hard to distinguish from black background.

from Stardock Forums

Am I the only person experiencing this?

When I select the "Sector Owner" overlay on the minimap, it is real hard to distinguish the blue colour from the black background. Maybe my settings are wrong somehow, but I simply cannot for the life of me, see what sectors I control.

I've had no problem with this, maybe you should adjust your monitor.

You may need to adjust brightness and contrast on your monitor. It is a dark blue but not hard to see. Try these test patterns

Just unzip this and click ntest.exe, scan for virus first.

It is also difficult for me to see the dark blue, and all three of my monitors are perfectly calibrated. I have a 22" CRT and two 17" LCDs and they all show it as dark blue, which makes it quite difficult to distinguish from black.

I have a 17" LCD (NEC 1760V) and I agree. I can't see my blue background hardly at all. I usually figure that I'm the area that the others aren't..

Okay...thanks guys. I gues I'm gonna have to look into this.

Toaddog: Thanks a bunch. I will try this.

I had to adjust my monitor to be brighter and the blue showed up better, but it's still hard to tell for me. I'd bet those that are partialy color blind will have probs with it too. It would be great if we could customize our colors, at least in the map window.
