Starmade | connection/link outline is barely noticeable
Closed, FinishedPublic

Description

The outline for linked modules is black, it used to flicker between purple and white.

Settings.cfg included as it may depend on a graphical option.
Also, while you're at it, make the outline a bit thicker.

Tester information (Internal use only)

Definitely needs a fallback or an easy way to toggle it.

My suggestion would be:
A display toggle in the Display build mode subgroup.
When enabled:

  • use outline for C + V connections when in build mode

When disabled:

  • use purple boxes for C + V connections

Purple boxes for C + V connections would always be used outside build mode.
The toggle itself would be disabled if framebuffer is disabled, and it would have a tooltip explaining that "Framebuffer needs to be enabled first"

Fix confirmed. Slightly different behavior as suggested, but works fine and does the trick too.
