Editor colors: A separate def file for editor_setKeyValue _color?

[Fidcal]

Colour settings has always been a problem for me but the most recent DR I lost a few. AI are bright red and look like they are selected. Lights for instance are near black and invisible in my black background grid view and virtually invisible in camera actually. Changing editor_setKeyValue _color in the lights def means a conflict if there is an update. It occurred to me, what if we took all the editor_setKeyValue _color and put them in a separate file then inherit from it? Is it possible for a def to inherit from *two* other defs?

 

If that works then either one file with all the editor_setKeyValue _color in but it would need to be fixed and never updated or the same conflict would arise. Or perhaps a separate file for each color def. Then any additions would just be an added file.

 

Am I the only Dark Radiant user using the black and green default as a base colour scheme?

No, this is not possible with D3.

Note that the colour in the editor is determined by editor_color, not _color (the latter is used for setting rgb values in shaders).

Possible.

 

I guess what you'd like to have is a separate per-user colour editor for entities, where you can define: lights should be red, moveables purple and all models light green. Am I right?

[Fidcal]

Yes, is there another way?

Apart from editing your local .def files, no I don't think.
