FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi everyone! in Minetest 0.4.14 have improved the chat, however, it is still impractical. The text is "all white", it reads little, and badly. Especially in servers.

Add the color of the text chatting (players names, colors admin chat commands).

Same changes to the singleplayer game!

Add a matte box (like the current chat), which acts as a background! aesthetically pleasing, and very practical (it helps in reading the text).

I think it is a good idea.

Huh? That has nothing to do with chat....

I totally agree.
If you gonna ask about chat improvement, you shouldn't talk about add more doors and nodes...
Please, edit the post!

Anyways i like your idea, "Add the color of the text chatting (players names, colors admin chat commands).
".
That can be useful

I edited the post. Sorry, I'm right, I have included too many different things.

Thank you. my ideas for the project are happy that you appreciate! Minetest is truly a masterpiece! if you enter the changes to chat, play games on the servers will be much more pleasant.

I hope that feature be added soon, so i can enjoy doing a rainbow color text

Minetest 0.4.14 Dev - Add colored Text (included text Chat) Thanks guys ;) great works ^___^

Well i think this is closed, you have what ya' want, so i think this post shouldn't be active anymore!
(^-^)

Yes. Although I have tested and I have not figured out how to turn colored text ^ ___ ^ LOL: D close the post ... I got my gift ^ _-

I was going to suggest this exact same thing. I also thought of chat box moving down left. Also, add a way for the crosshairs to be seen in both dark and bright backgrounds. I was born with an eye defect which disallows good adjustment to light.
Thanks StepDevelop.

Bump. Somebody do something already! I suffer from this!

So, how do you specify colors for chat ?

Are there guidelines/recommandations for using colors ?
E.g. red for errors, yellow for warnings, etc ?
