messages.xml messages are barely readable
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

The server messages that come from messages.xml are a dark red and very very hard to read. Any chance to add color code support, or at least change it to a brighter color with more contrast? People with healthy eyesight have trouble reading it, so I can imagine color-deficient etc don't stand a chance of seeing it.

To add to this, the text appears behind HUD elements too making it impossible to read the first few words in a message. It would be nice if the messages were raised above the stamina bar rather than being behind it.

It was also be a great quality of life improvement for community servers if line breaks were formatted properly, currently there's a rough 200 character limit before text starts disappearing off the screen. This makes it very difficult to have any meaningful messages such as rules in the messages for community servers.

To be clear - I am talking about the red vanilla messages that appear in the bottom left of the screen. I am aware of mods to fix this on PC but this issue affects all vanilla servers and all console servers.

100% agree!
The servers I've ran, I've had to stagger messages on delay. It's a bad workaround that shouldn't be needed.
