Hard to read text color

malor · 03-10-2026, 06:28 PM

Hello.

I've attached two images where the font colors are not readable.
I'm using ootp_light with default font and font size.

Any help is appreciated. Can't read yellow and white text on white background. These are are just sample screens, the issue exists on many others.

Makes the game unplayable.

Thanks.

I can only use dark. The light skins are just awful to me.

I only use light and has been fine for years. This is the first time I've seen a problem like this.
Dark is to dark. Eyes need light to see, Dark makes you strain to read it.
Options like this one are the reason both of us can play the game our way.
Hopefully it will be fixed with the full release. Otherwise I won't be able to play the game and will be requesting a refund.

Here is the Transaction News screen.

Note, the entire left side of the screen is filled with transactions. You just can't see them.

Hopefully fixed for full release to make the game playable for those that use OOTP_Light.

Thanks.

I have found a few areas- text on the "Pitcher" and "At Bat" player info boxes while playing the game, the player rating bars, etc to be much harder on the eyes and/or hard to read. Put it in the tech section too, but good to know others are seeing it so hopefully they will do a double check for all of the text and make sure it is easier to read. The bars I can deal with if they don't change but the old ones were much better in my opinion. The spacing and shape are just tougher to look at somehow.

Agreed on rating bar colors. The brightness for a better term is just off. The colors appear to glow/translucent vs. last years solid color.

Maybe their is a setting fix for that one.
