 Interface; Dropdown colors

Customizable Dropdown Colors


The player colors shown in the dropdown list in the menu are hardcoded in
Yuri's Revenge and they map to hardcoded color schemes in-game.
Ares removes the hardcoding and lets you customize all existing colors
and even add more of them.

Using uimd.ini you can define up to 16 colors to be shown in the
dropdown lists. Replace X by the numbers from 1 to Count
(without leading zeros):

[Colors]Count=integer
  The number of colors to display. Values from 8 to 16 are valid and Ares
  enforces these limits. Defaults to 8.
[Colors]SlotX.DisplayColor=R,G,B
  The color displayed in the dropdown lists to preview the in-game color scheme
  in RGB format, that is three comma separated values from 0 to 255. Default
  depends on slot index.
[Colors]SlotX.ColorScheme=Color scheme
  The name of the color scheme defined in rulesmd.ini's [Colors]►
  section this slot maps to in-game. Default depends on slot index.
[Colors]SlotX.Tooltip=CSF label
  The text shown as tool tip when the player hovers over the color in the
  dropdown list. Default depends on slot index.

You can use Observer instead of SlotX to define the colors used
for observers.

Ares will display all color slots from 1 to Count. You
may redefine any property without having to redefine the entire list.

It is your responsibility to select appropriate values. Ares will not
check whether color values and color schemes are unique and distinguishable.

 \ Ares defaults to the original game's values and adds
  six more definitions not shown by default. To display those new items, set
  Count=14. Note that these additional color schemes have been added
  merely for demonstration purposes and they might collide with the original
  color schemes.
