Color of UO's window top bar vs color of UOAssit numbers

[Gidge]

Has anyone ever managed to change the color of the window?
I know I have attempted to adjust things but it has been years since I even attempted and I don't recall if I was ever successful. (and that would be a laptop and a desktop ago.)
All I know is that the bright green is now a color I can no longer see on the bar. When the weight changes from the green to yellow to warn me to stop eating cookies, I can see it

UOAssist does have a change all chat color text if someone's vision is starting to fail them as well.

This is something i struggled with when i moved off of windows 7,
i could never change the text color but on windows 7 I could change the backdrop color of the title bar.

There are settings in windows that are supposed to be able to change the titlebar color in windows 10 but it doesn't seem to work for uo classic client.
I did however somehow make the title bar a lot thicker. Give me a few mins and i'll look up how i did it.

I found this, does it help?

 

[The Black Smith]

okay have you actually tried that petra? it doesn't seem to work for UO - when uoassist uses the title bar, that particular title bar stays the same color in windows 10.
PS, some of us know how to use google also.




Pictured, top bar title bar with uoassist, color didn't change
bottom bar, uo title bar without uoassist, color did change


As you can see, somehow i managed to make the text on the title bars nice and large, i'm still looking for how this was done on win 10

 

[Petra Fyde]

Sorry, I don't have assist installed currently. It worked fine for just UO. I think text size comes under 'accessibility'

so why comment?

@Gidge can you post a pic of your title bar?, maybe i never did make mine bigger...
i mean, it looks big to me

 

[Petra Fyde]

Because I was trying to be helpful?

Talk about an AHole

 

[The Black Smith]

I know right

Glad you agree you are a AHole

The stats are what I cannot see. the weight will change colors and I can see it eventually.

It changed the color of the top bar for the account login screen only. It also changed the UOassit start up window as well as the UOassit window itself, but upon logging in, it (the game window) reverted back to the same blueish color. Something is overriding it.

 

[Gidge]

Mkay, so I started UO without UOAssit and the color change stayed, so I will mess with UOAssit and if no luck send Tug an email. Perhaps he can help. Thank you.

yeah so i've somehow made my title bar text bigger and bolder on windows 10




i prob had to download some third party windows power tool to do it and then since uninstalled it.


All the guides i see online, are telling me to go to a display setting in the control panel, that i simply don't have...

That's some kind of serious short term memory issue that you should have looked at, if you can remember and perhaps don't remember that you already have had it looked at.
Bigger may be better for a bit, I will give that a shot.

(I tried this and they are just bigger green numbers I cannot see lol)
Type in text size in settings and you should see a few text choices. You may have drug the the slider from A to A. Check there first....unless of course you like the new and improved font.

 

[The Black Smith]

yeah but that is prob all text, you just want the title bar text,
it's not really short term memory, windows 10 came out around 2015, sorry for not remembering something i did 8 years ago. It's possible windows updates have removed the ability to do it since then, and now you have to do a reg/powershell edit or use some windows power tool.

Ah, well that should fix it! I thought you had just did it I have sent Tug an email, hope I guessed it correctly.

waste of time emailing tugsoft,

try this, (can't vouch for it) System Font Size Changer - Increase Text Size in Windows 10

I got the text to be big like yours with no problem. As I stated, the size is of no help due to the color. My time is free in the evening, so I don't count an attempt a waste of it! All it did was put off me watching One Piece (the original) for another day.

Thank you, those are some of what I changed and UOAssist just did an override on them to it's color and text color.

Anyone else want to also Google an answer on the assumption that the OP can’t use Google and didn’t already try that…?

so far we got Petra and Frodo doing it to be condescending.

just waiting for Pawain too to give instructions on how to change the title bar color. Make it a hat trick.

once, twice, three times a lady.

Please don't interpret my motives for trying to help people. You are a very long way off in your estimations.

Folks, let's keep it impersonal and play nicely. If you're not here to positively add to the conversation , please move on.
