This. I can read it myself but with a tad bit of straining. Maybe increase the line spacing a tad bit might help.AndyDufresne wrote:Ian I think can read it, but I think he was saying it could be less straining with an adjustment.

I think this sounds like an acceptable plan!DiM wrote:ah, but the line spacing has nothing to do with the background colour. no problem the spacing can be fixed and i'll also work with the glow on the text. but i'd like to keep the colour.

although i have no problem with reading either of them (i have a pretty good monitor) the new one is indeed a little easier on the eyes because the glow on the other one is a bit distracting.DiM wrote:tweaked the shadow and the glow. it should be easier on the eye and thus easier to read.

the box outline is hard to do because it would mean stretching the space between the rows of text and i don't want that.AndyDufresne wrote:I think things look pretty good! If it doesn't mess up the legends, putting a box outline around the +1's and +5's etc, might make those numbers stand out a little more.
Bullets in the legend might also help the flow of information, but they may not be necessary.
Keep up the good work,

That sort of looks like fingerprints. How would it look if the bonuses where in white?DiM wrote:how about something like this:
