Title: BT 117 Bicolored select Line Annoying
Post by: idahofisherman on August 20, 2011, 11:27:58 PM
The new bicolored selected line  indicator  :o makes it hard to read the data under the select line.  It should be changed to just one color so that the eyes do not have to adjust so  much to read the data selected.   This must really be bad for color blind persons.  Its just cosmatic, but annoying. :-\

The selection line you mean? It has always been blue with white text. Nothing changed there.
If you mean the new skin, you can remove in the BT settings -> View -> use skin.

Colors can be adjusted, any way you like it in Extra->Color and font.

Right, that's what the check is for, some like the skin, some will hate it. :o

Just to counter the OP.

Personally, I think there is more cohesion with the new skin. Lines remain distinct but not 'different' if that makes any sense. I also think that the change from using black to grey for the outlines further enhances the cohesion.

As fred says, some will like it and some not.
