Subtle Colors (Empty Backpack Slots)

Is it me? My monitor? Did the background color of empty backpack slots change?
I seem to be having real trouble seeing an empty backpack slot today. Either the background color has changed or I really need to go see an optician. Seemed fine yesterday though.

Whatever it is, I keep seeing what appears to be a 'white' blank space, which makes me think I've got something in there that hasn't rendered/loaded yet. Fortunately I have a laptop, putting the screen at a more extreme angle helps to see... but not so much on the ergonomic strain.

Anyone else having this issue?

  • Yeah, I noticed this yesterday too, and after playing with it a few hours I still don't like it.

     I've gotten more used to it, but when I am out gathering resources I usually like to have a vague idea of how many empty slots I have to work with. The new UI color makes this much harder because the full and empty slots blend together. It may look more uniform, but it is a much less practical way to display our stuff. 

    I hope that enough people don't like it and they change it back.

  • I noticed too. I believe it used to look like this (in my imperfect memory anyway), then changed to be easier to see with the UI switch? I find it hard to see now as well.

  • ditto ~ for the past few days I was experiencing lots of bugs with moving items within bags and within my inventory.  Maybe the color change has something to do with that?

  • Yeah, I noticed this. At first I thought, like you, that I hadn't items that hand't loaded, but then noticed that all of my empty slots were white.  I don't like it!  :(  It does make it really difficult to know whether I need to wait for items to load or what's going on.

  • I noticed this too and thought exactly the same, that items weren't getting loaded. But then I noticed they probably changed the background color and it's simply awful. It makes me confused and everytime I think things aren't loading, pff.

  • This was a side effect of something else and will be changed.

  • Thanks stoot! The white background was definitely confusing.

  • the skills tree is also not very user friendly in that its really hard to tell what has been learned and what hasn't. Could we get this fixed... while we're fixing things?

    Do I need to loan my tinkertool?
