Alert, Special Weapon & Movement Buttons

Just an idea...

Could the Alert, Special Weapon & Movement Button coloring or lighting be reversed so that the active selection is lit instead of the inactive buttons being lit with the active selection being darkened or non-lit?

I think it would be easier to see and would make more sense (the active Alert is lit up as it would be on a ship or station).

I agree, It is a little confusing.

i agree, in general its hard to make out which configuration is currently selected, however i don't know yet if it is possible within a reasonable time. another easier method would be to modify the buttons there to have a better visibility. i will put a todo for that up.

I was pretty sure that there was a "button.odf" or similar that controlled all of that. Should be easy to fix.

yes, there is, but it doesn't allow to change the way the buttons are lit up. that's hardcoded stuff

Odd, i thought it let you control those... *scurries off to check* Yes, it has properties like "colorActive" and "colorPressed".
