Colorblind + Spell Slots
So I'm colorblind, and there is no colorblind mode. I cannot determine how many spells I have left unless I am out (Because I can't cast the spell). Is there anywhere that just says "You have 4 spells left", cause I cannot tell the difference between the little squares. Any help would be great, thank you.

this please. tried to bring this up before and people just hit me with "just keep track on a piece of paper" like its not that hard to just allow me to adjust the color of those boxes slightly or add an numeric indicator :'(

Same here, I cannot very well distinguish certain shades of pink and gray.
Colorblind mode could be something super simple, just put an 'O' into pink/available and an 'X' in grey/spent.

Not trying to be insensitive. But the spell slots when they're available are glowing squares, I didn't realise colour blindness didn't let you see the absence of glows after you've spent them.

This is definitely something that needs adding, or some form of UI customisation in that regard that lets you change the colour of the squares to something you can see and differentiate between.

Yeah I know they are glowing, its just the color they glow is very indistinguishable from when they are not glowing unfortunately.

Same problem here. In Windows I tend to use the deuteranopia "color filter" hotkeyed to ctrl+win+C to get around my "handicap", but even if I run the game windowed that filter does not affect it.

Since I am only mildly affected, I can distinguish between spent and unspent when I lean very close to the screen, but as suggested earlier here, a simple symbol difference or anything at all other than a very slight color difference would be greatly appreciated.

Although I rarely need/elect to use it, I am surprised that the game does not have a built-in colorblind filter since it has become quite common these days and there is an "accessibility" tab in the options. But aside from the spell slots I have not encountered any other problematic colors yet.

Absence of a colorblind mode seems like a big oversight

I hear ya, and maybe if I could make the UI a bit bigger the glow would be more noticeable, but I genuinely cannot tell between them. It comes down to, "Oh, I can't cast level one spells anymore, guess I'm out."

They added color blind modes but it doesn't change the spell slot icon?

The colorblind mode that was added makes the colors worse anyway

Worse than this?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

I'm just adding myself to the list of voices. X's and O's would very much be my preferred fix. filtering the entire screen to fix the half inch i can't make out is a non starter. My second preference would be spent slots are red and full are blue.
I'm annoying my friends having to ask them which spell slots I have left. Ugh.

Is that what a colorbIind person would see? I guess not because I can still clearly tell that only one spell slot, a 1st-level one, has been expended. The character has three 1st-level slots and three 2nd-level slots left.
