Please Allow Us To Change Map Font Color

Try reading this without squinting your eyes. I love the map but the one thing I cannot stand is the terrible white font. With the tannish color of the map terrain, it can get difficult just to see the letters. Even with maximum text size. And zoom doesn't even help.

I think it would be very beneficial if we could edit the font color. Black, blue, red, whatever but this white sucks.

Yes, the font size / color on the map is the only UI element that still trips me up here and there. This is a great idea.

My eyes are very used to it. I don't have to squint for it.

However, it would probably be a good idea still.

I can honestly say I've never had an issue with the text colors on the map, but sure, options are nice.

I can imagine for PC players it's not that much of a problem but for PS4/image on TV players it's probably pretty bad. I know it is for me depending on the texture on the map.

Bump .

Never had a issue with it, it is fine for me.

Uh. It's not a very fair comparison because the picture is so small... The font is not that small in the game, unless your screen is puny.

Opening it in Imgur and zooming in (making it the fullscreen/proper size) it is completely fine.

Is that the size of your screen?

No?

Maybe post the actually size of the image next time.

Here is the map:

Easy to read.

While I can easily read it too, why is there so much pushback over a simple accessibility request? I had a similar problem with FL team colours back in the day, posted it in User Interface and now it's customisable so colourblind people are no longer penalised. OP, I'd recommend reposting in User Interface if this is bothering you. There are probably loads of people who would prefer a different colour for the labels who just never thought to ask before, and S-E take accessibility suggestions very seriously.

The forums automatically resize large images so it probably wasn't a deliberate attempt to mislead anyone.

It may be easy for me to read, but I understand colour blindness and Dyslexia are things, so more accessibility options are a good idea. As others have said though, post it in "User Interface", you're more likely to get a favourable response too.

It's funny how people act as though their own vision is exactly what other people have. Personally, I have a lot of trouble distinguishing those letters.

You're right it's not 100% accurate because it's on a forum now, forgot to take that into account but on my TV, I can't see those letters easily. The TV isn't that close to me I know it certainly must be easier to see on a PC or huge TV. But someone like me? I'd have to get up out of the chair just to read the letters.

Edit: I will also post in the UI forum. Thanks for the advice!

I think the map text, like the housing numbers next to plots, is impossible to read. I use the PC but my monitor is my television so trying to see those tiny white numbers from five feet away is impossible. I literally have to ask my party to read the map for me because I can't see those numbers at all.

Being able to make the font black (not necessarily bigger) would be a HUGE help for that.
