Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way of changing the colour of the chat dialogue text (Internally) as I find it difficult to read when it is the magenta colour on my screen? Many thanks Clive

It's all editable using XML files - the details are covered in $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.gui: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fg ... E.gui#l111
To just change the color of a certain dialog/widget, you gotta have to edit only that and add a corresponding style entry to it, by opening the dialog file in $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fg ... i/dialogs/
Please don't send support requests by PM, instead post your questions on the forum so that all users can contribute and benefit
Thanks & all the best,
Hooray
