Minimap: Very simple change

On the minimap, your land is light blue. If other people are on your land with you, you see green dots on the light blue background. However, if you're either higher or lower than them and their symbol turns into the little green "T", and you can barely see them on the minimap.

Is there any way to have all green symbols turn darker green or a different color that doesn't blend in so much with the light blue background? I'm in my skybox and it's hard to see when people are at my store below on the ground level because of the colors blending. Thanks!!

I agreed!... and I'm damned that I didn't add that to my suggestion pack.

Thumbs up!






EDIT: Let color be customized by the user? Just like the chat color text.

Make your land group-owned by a private group, then deed your objects to that group.

They turn a dark non-contrasting purple.

(plus you can make your special friends members)

Also another alternative is visitor counter or greeter that ims you when someone enters. I used one before, only set back is it is constant. But if your store has a lower traffic, for now, its great to know when someone lands or is near your store.

GL and GREAT SUGGESTION WITH DIFFERENT COLOR

The 'group color' is a workaround, and one that can be annoying if you mess up the permissions. It's not a real fix. The only real fix would be for Linden Labs to go in and make this often requested change.

If you just want to know who's around, my "Otter Monitor" is handy. It comes with a cute little silhouette of my forum avatar and you can click on it to make it chattier and chattier about who's nearby and how far away they are. There's fancier tools, but this one's pretty simple and low lag and open source and freely redistributable so you can get just one and share with all your friends.

Pick it up at the Coonspiracy Store in Noonkkot (you can find it in my picks).

Why not just change the "Own land/objects" color on the minimap, instead of the radar pegs? I've always disliked it, that bright blue burns my eyes to look at. Occasionally a few versions back it would turn a slightly darker shade that was easier to look at, and radar pegs showed up very well against it.

Alternatively we could just get a little black edging around the radar pegs, the same as the dots are when they're "level" with you. That would also help make them more visible.

THANK YOU for tweaking the colors of the minimap. Everything is much easier to see now!

In case you haven't already found it, something very similar got bumped in Tech Issues just last week...

Ok this is weird. I logged off for a bit and the original minimap colors came back, so it hasn't been changed. GAH. So maybe it was a fluke the last time or they were testing something, but right now it's the same as it always was.

SWEET! I will take a look at that, thanks for providing the link!

This is a problem i've seen many complain about since i first came to SL and it hasn't been fixed yet. :/
