Pls consider that certain colours shouldnt be next to each other. Red, pink and brown/orange should stay separated. Same for yellow and brown/orange. I made it the way it is right now to separate similar colours.

Switching to blue for research and pink for trade will most likely happen soon.

But pls keep suggesting your wishes, I will look into it.

The upcoming update looks like this:

Pink is gone, replaced by cyan (trade). Research is now blue. Production green. Diplo is red.

Can't it be made so that the user can select the colours he wants? Else make different versions / palettes maybe.

CANT IT BE MADE SO THAT THE USER CAN SELECT THE COLOURS HE WANTS?
Gundahar  [developer] 13 Jun, 2016 @ 9:53am 
No, not possible. If I release a version for every possibility, I have to release 48 other mods...
If you have a good suggestion for a different version, post it, then I might release a different version.

I like the entire mod, I just can't find the logic for the red aviation button. What other colour possibilities do you consider to be available for it?
Gundahar  [developer] 14 Jun, 2016 @ 11:27am 
I took the inspiration from the research menu, the plane related tabs are red. I've no plans to change that, but Im always open for good suggestions.

Considering that you work by a certain logic of some colours not being able to be put beside others, what other colour possibilities do you consider to be available for the aviation button?
Gundahar  [developer] 15 Jun, 2016 @ 11:57am 
That logic applies primarily for the map modes and main buttons. I guess every colour except cyan is possible. What do you think would be the most logical colour?
Kouga 15 Jun, 2016 @ 1:26pm 
Well obviously blue, but that is even more logical for the navy so nevermind that. I do think that white is more appropiate than red however, just like in my profile picture. What do you think?
Gundahar  [developer] 16 Jun, 2016 @ 10:09am 
Why blue? KLM? Dont see the logic behind that.
So white because its the favorite colour of modern airlines and manufacturers? That wouldnt fit the game era tho.
As said I dont plan to change it for this version of the mod. PDX made them red in research, for consistencys sake I chose that colour, same for land and naval. Lets see if they change things with the upcoming 1.1 (I dont think so).
However I planned different versions of this mod, one with less saturation and one that fits the overall UI better (more greenish-brown, dark, maybe camouflage style). But sadly, these days Im busy, so may take some time.

Well ofcourse there will always be pros and cons for every colour so I'd ask you not to focus on the cons alone. I mean, let's not start about red's inconsistencies... Eitherway, I understand that you are not intend on changing it soon, and that's fine, but I hope my opinion has been noted.
