[closed] AQ v2 Information Boxes Text Colour

Post by Yemble »

It's great to be able to change the colour an opacity of the Information Boxes in AQ 2.*, however, not all box colour / opacity combinations work well with black text. If there was a similar selection option for the information box text colour, possibly on the same settings dialog, then this function would be even more useful. :P

A few more related suggestions:

It would be helpful to have some sample text, maybe "Alpine Quest" in the two colour boxes immediately below the large colour selector, in the current selected text colour.

When selecting a new background colour from the colour squares, the opacity should NOT be reset to 100%, instead, the current value should be retained. Also, the dialog should remain displayed until the user presses OK. As things currently stand, picking a colour / opacity combination can involve re-entering the Info Box dialog several times, which is a bit tedious.

Thanks for this suggestion.
Unfortunately this is not as simple since some boxes have icons that are black anyway.
Also, the coordinates text uses different colors, which are the same of the grids (when the "display grid" options are checked): black for the main coordinate format, blue for the alternative one.

However, version 2.0.1b will be soon available (it's already available as a beta) and I've added an user setting to change this text color so you can still do it.
In don't remember if you've already used user settings, but you just need to put the attached file in the application folder. This file set the text as red, but you can edit it with any android text editor to use any color. Check for the "map.infobox.text_color" user setting here for more information on the colors.

OK, NP, to be honest I'd never noticed the alternative colour :D

It was only a minor request anyway and the box colour transparency, which is much more useful, works fine 8-)
