With all the hoohah on Abashi's lack of memory and Ester being on vacation,
no one has mentioned one of the nicer things in the last patch - you can
control colors, run and screen mode defaults now. I don't know about you,
but have you ever missed a song because the blue didn't show up well in full
screen mode? You ever forget to click run and get beat to death as you
supposedly selo's to zone? I hate having to always change to full screen
(not much effort, but it does get old). I like what Verant did here and
give them credit for it. I just wish... Ah, nevermind, enough said on that
line already.

So, I want to share what I did and see if any of you have had any success
with the color changes. I first made my songs red - I wanted to see them
boldly, but that mixed in with resist so not good. I then changed songs to
yellow - that shows up really well in all modes. Damage shields (if you
still have them on) also show up in yellow, but I typically am not getting
beat on that long even if pulling, so not a problem. I also changed skill
increases to red. I use a parser sure, but I like to see them (or at least
have a chance - blue sucks imho - I could never catch what was said - song,
skill or whatever - in blue). Anyone else play with this?
