RGB Hud colour selection.

Dec 02, 2004 Sputnik66 link
we can colour our ships and that's pretty cool, but what about colourizing huds the same way with ships? i think it'd personalize your ship a'bit more; other colours that'd you desire more than the standard green/blue scheme.

here's some examples:

http://www.elite-knights.com/vendetta/hud-gold.jpg < - you'll have to forgive the colour on the right side of the hud near the crosshair. kinda messed that up :P
http://www.elite-knights.com/vendetta/hud-red.jpg < that would be good for akanese/serco :D

i colourized the ship grey to avoid user level colours to confuse them with ship damage and overall better compatibility with the rest of the colours. for example if you were to colourze the hud red, your ship would turn red aswell. you wouldn't be able to see damages on your ship.

you may noticed that i colourized the majority of the text in red, grey for a better match. i was meaning to colourize the General tab grey aswell but i've already uploaded it. perhaps we could have a hud base colour selection, and a text base colour selection aswell. perhaps the ship colour could be included within the text selection also.

A lot of first person shooters have HUD color options - usually as an RGB slider set or something.

I don't know how Vendetta handles the HUD, but depending on how difficult it would be to implement, having selectable HUD colors would be awesome - especially for people who may be colorblind.

The HUD code is spaghetti.
