    Need to be able to change more elements of the UI interface (Accessibility)

    Ever since the graphics update, it has been harder to see the duties list and even gathering nodes with bright white text wrapped in either blue or yellow against bright backgrounds (think things like Limsa Lominsa with all the white buildings, the MOON is especially egregious with this ever since the graphics update, Costa Del Sol gathering points are harder to see etc)

    There needs to be some manner of option to add some kind of opaque background so that these things are easier to see. Changing gamma settings doesn't make it any better, it only makes it a lot worse. We need more accessibility options with it comes to the UI and its white text on white backgrounds. It is a massive hindrance and interruption to gameplay when you cannot see what you're supposed to be doing or cannot find a node because of all the bright colours stacked on top of one another.

    Before unsolicited advice gets thrown in to this, allow me to list the 'solutions' that were suggested that do not work:
    1. Changing the Gamma. Does not improve text legibility
    2. Throwing the camera view skyward. This doesn't help with gathering nodes or other things that require you to interact with an object in quests and so on.
    3. Increasing the text size. This creates visibility issues with other UI elements.
    4. Stop playing the game. This option is ridiculous and unfair when asking for simple accessibility.

    There needs to be an option to either change the text colour in the UI proper (much like how we can change the colour options for enemies, NPCs, PCs, pets, minions etc) or an option to place an semi-opaque border around this text similar to the options we have with the chat log.

    I completely agree.

    I don't consider myself visually impaired but parsing what I've typed in the Chat Log entry field and seeing buff/debuff timers is a growing pain.

    Especially when it's set against the ultra bright backdrop of Arcadion and Solution 9 areas.
