Whichever one is worse, I think should be red.

[Clément]

Default colors are: orange for unhappy, dark red for very unhappy and red for miserable (from better to worse). I could change them to yellowish orange/reddish orange/pure red.

[feelotraveller]

Yes, sorry for any confusion since I named them differently.  I think very unhappy would be better as red and miserable as dark red since this continues the progression from light to dark.

[jecowa]

I think it looks okay.

[Clément]

The dark red could be changed, but I prefer to keep the bright red for the worst case. It is more visible and alarming.

[feelotraveller]

Okay that's fair enough.  What bothers me is that the colour for miserable is (or seems to me, to be precise) closer to the colour for unhappy than the colour for very unhappy is.

Any chance of a mock-up similar to the image jecowa posted so we could see the prospective alternative colours?

Custom labor/profession shows average skill in grid view, but it is not an integer and unreadable in small cell. Also grid view editor - > cell color - > active - > "..." shows default color instead of current.
I have win64 version.

Keeping pure green and red at the ends, I tried some gradient between them:

Color codes are:

Code: [Select]

00ff00
66ff19
bfff40
ffff80
ffbf40
ff6619
ff0000
Edit: or with more amplitude in the saturation/brightness changes:

Code: [Select]

00ff00
80ff40
d4ff80
ffffbf
ffd480
ff8040
ff0000

Custom labor/profession shows average skill in grid view, but it is not an integer and unreadable in small cell.

Would rounding to the nearest integer be fine?

Also grid view editor - > cell color - > active - > "..." shows default color instead of current.

I could reproduce that after reopening the "Edit column" dialog (just after changing the color, it worked). I had some issues with the color picker while trying to change the happiness colors too.

[jecowa]

Of those two, I think the second is better.

Maybe start at blue so you get a wider range to make it easier to tell the greens apart.

yes, this is the best solution

Is anyone actually using the color popup?


Or do you always click "..." to get the system color picker?

[jecowa]

I've never looked at the color settings before. I was using an external graphics editor to change the colors on your screenshot. But I would click the "…" if I wanted to change the colors.

[feelotraveller]

The second mockup with more amplitude looks pretty good to me.

I don't remember ever using the colour popup since whenever I tried the colours did not fit for me.  The feature I find very useful is the ability to copy/save a colour for reuse elsewhere.  (Oh the colour picker has changed.    My comments are still applicable though.)

Edit: I noticed afterwards a series of logged 'errors' of the form

Code: [Select]

qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 3638, resource id: 10501888, major code: 40 (TranslateCoords), minor code: 0
where the sequence and resource id change between entries.  A quick look online suggests that this is related to a qt window closing 'unexpectedly'; although I had no loss of functionality.  It was triggered by the cancel and ok buttons, both in the colour picker itself but also when simply opening and closing the edit grid view window.  (Once or twice the message did not trigger but I'm not sure why.)

i used it for reset color back to default (first in list)

Where should dwarf therapist be saving it's preferences ? I can't seem to have it save from launch to launch. It starts out as if it's been reverted to defaults each time. Probably a folder/file permissions issue that I need to CHOWN a given folder to?
