Starmade | Display Module text; shadow effect makes writing non-legible
Closed, FinishedPublic
Actions

Description

#1 original report
Display module text has a shifted background shadow effect, making it difficult to read colored text.
This also has the effect of giving the appearance that lined letters like "l" and "1" and "i" are duplicated close together.
Please eliminate or minimize the word shadow so it is easier to see.

#2
Testing using this Display panel text:
<style>c=#00FF00,f=1</style>This is a test of the
display panel type color

Color Display Results:
FFFFFF = White, displays well but at close range there is a 'shift' of red & blue
FF0000 = Red, i & l have extra line displayed
00FF00 = Green, displays well perhaps even better than white
0000FF = Blue, displays well but character appears to shift right slightly (when alternating styles)
FF00FF = Argh.. this really shows something going wrong

My guess is each color is starting by placing the letters slightly offset from the other colors. This is most easily noted by change colors while looking at the same text and seeing it 'move' slightly.
