Hello Moricky,
Thanks for taking this on. I have been able to change the waypoint marker color by changing the "Active Elements" in the color options (thanks for the restart tip). It is better, BUT I now realize that the problem is not totally because of my color blindness. Alpha-Kilo is SPOT-ON with the transparency issue. Like him, I want yellow (I can see colors, it's just a color perception problem compared to those who are not colorblind). After I changed the color, I COULD see the waypoint marker better, but the transparency has me losing it. In Alpha 2, I just moved the mouse to bring the marker to the edge of the screen to see it easier and get my bearings....certainly not a good option. I CAN see the designators for squad members very easily, but they are not transparent. I suggest that the waypoint markers be changed to be the same as the squad markers....Solid and "in my face."
I still have not found a way to change the target designator color. I think, in this case, the problem is that I am colorblind. They are nearly invisible to me at the default color....Red, I believe. In my perfect world, I could change this to be the same as the waypoint marker color....It's easy to differentiate a way point from a target just based on the symbol. Of course I also want it to be solid rather than transparent...as it currently is. Others may disagree because it may cause confusion with "friendlies." They may be right, but I won't know until I can change the color.
Again, thanks for taking this on, and I appreciate your time in improving this feature.
Best regards,
