There are two messages in the Message Box that I find virtually unreadable because of the colour (See screenshot). At first I thought that there were a couple of blank lines and only by peering closely at the screen through my trusty magnifying glass could I actually read them and even then with some difficulty. The first is at 10:45:50 and the second is at 10:46:50. They are both advising me that points need to be reversed, which I have now actioned.

This is a fairly recent change, although I can't say how recent.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me? Can the colour be changed for one that is more legible

Go to F3 > Messages tab, find the messages you want to re-colour and pick your new colour of choice as per WIki at https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:ssrun:func:f3:optionsmessages.

F3 -> Messages -> Block Bell #1.

The default is cyan so at some point you've changed it to dark purple.

ITYM the default has changed. I see the same and haven't changed anything. Block Bell #1,2,3&4 are all the same colour.

Something odd going on as using loader v5.15 I am seeing cyan for the 4 block bell messages.

Perhaps the colour you get is based on what was the default one when you installed SimSig?

I never changed any of them nevertheless I see 32 colours stored in the registry.

EDIT: I have dark blue for the block bells.

Yes it is rather odd because I haven't changed any of the colours but some recent event has changed them for me.

Thanks for the pointers everyone. I shall change the colours to something acceptable

They haven't changed for me. They're all still set to my custom selection.

Weird, would be interesting to know why some default to Cyan and others to dark blue.
