Changing color of grid lines system/combat view?

[geoschmo]

I know it can be done. I had the same problem with the combat screen and changed it myself once. Let me see if I can remember which file it was, cause I thought it was the Backgrd.bmp and you say you've already tried that one. I'll get back to you.

Ok, well it looks like I was wrong. Boy, getting old sucks.

I think now what happened was I had the same problem and tried to change it and could not and ended up cranking up the contrast on the monitor. It's been so long ago, I must have just misremembered it. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

Are you using LCT or CRT? I had no problems seeing the grid lines on an old CRT monitor, but on my *NEW* *IMPROVED* LCT, all I can see are the horizontal lines.

Fortunately, the monitor does display squarely, so I created a template that has marks on it to be able to determine the number of spaces between my ship and the enemy (for tactical combat).

For any other purpose, I turned the option on to display locations and distances and rely on that for movement purposes.

If your video card supports adjusting the gamma, that might help. I never saw the "circuitry" in the window borders until I changed that.
