Need Help With Colors

Ethelinde · 04-28-2008, 04:45 PM

I've noticed that a lot of screen shots have text with proper colors (Green/Sky Blue/W/e) for titles and names/guild names etc. Mine is all pink letters. I thought it was a problem with my graphics card (Nvidia), but after playing around I realized its due to Windows Vista (I changed from Vista Premium to XP) and it works perfectly, after I installed Vista again the text returned to pinkish colors. Anyone know how I could fix this so that the colors display properly on Vista?

P.s. no Vista bashing plz, I find it far better & safer than XP, but this pinkish text isn't as pretty as the normal colors.

Right click on your desktop > Personalize > Window Color and Appearance

Click on [Open classic appearance properties for more color options]

Go to [Effects...]

Switch from ClearType to Standard

Unfortunately this isn't a permanent solution. When you do this your desktop icons and other program text looks fuzzy. But it will make it easier while playing the game.

Thanks

This definitely helps with getting the text for a sharper display. Does anyone have an idea on how I could get the right colors to show up on my monitor?

Eh, but it does for mine. It seems it's different for different people... perhaps something to do with the graphic card?

Don't worry about the missing face lolz, but note the text color of titles and the name above my head. If you run Windows XP or do not have a problem on Vista you would know wut I'm talking about.

Doing what Loveless said fixed it for me. I used to have the same color thingy as you.

I tried again and it works now. Thanks so much Loveless <3.
