Background of Dressing Room Window - Back to Blue?

Meridia · 08-19-2010, 03:54 AM

Is this possible? If it is, I can't figure it out. SMILEY

Ya, the new background color is awful. The blue background provided a nice contrast with most items. No clue why they changed it to this murky pinkish brown color.

LOL, my guess is because it's the color of the station cash button.

I'd also like to go back to blue. It blends better with what's often on my screen. I tried the loadui and selecting blue, but it was reset the next time I logged into the game.

Yes, I would like the option to change it back to blue. It's hard to see my character against the red background, and I'm actually using the blue UI and it's still a red background in my persona window.

I think the color of the background is set in how they render the objects (IE its rendered in something with a red tinted background). That might be why it's red instead of blue, and might make it harder for them to change it to match the color theme.

I think this is probably true... I'm pretty convinced at this point that it can't be modified in the UI. There may not be an easy way to change this unless we are are given an option. I hope they do because screenshots of furniture on everseek don't look so great with the non-contrasting red. SMILEY

It would be great if you could select the appearance window's background colour.

Well they rushed out the blue UI option so we could have a choice. Hopefully they'll have a chance to tweak all the remaining bits and pieces to have a blue option as well. Such as the header on the Welcome screen...

As far as I can tell at the moment (though I'm hardly an expert on the UI), it's hard-coded. I use a custom dressing room window and it changed on the patch day. Also, a not-quite-exhaustive search through the list of client commands doesn't turn up anything related to it.

I'll add my voice to the group asking for the old blue as an option (or better yet, customization).
