love the game but for holy *** the inventory is hard to see

Why on earth would you make the background colour the same as the selected item. 90% of the time I am guessing what item i am selecting when using controller. Atleast with mouse you can see the cursor, but no such thing on a controller.

The selected item is highlighted in white.

And the inventory is pretty damn close to white

You might just need glasses.

i in fact, am red green colorblind and do need corrective glasses for it, and still the selection is still to vague.

i can notice it now, but upon first playing i kept selecting the wrong things because i would think something above it was what was being selected when i was in say: the weapons or armor selection because of how the equipped items are actually "visibly equipped"

so if i had everything in the list equipped except two items, and those two items were right next to each other, you really wouldn't know unless you knew for sure it was the brighter one that was being selected - at that time i didn't know it was the brighter one and kept dropping the dark ones, i had to tell myself over and over to stop it because by reflex i thought the darker one would be what was selected.

it's really just so minimal, all it needs is an outline for the selected or literally just an arrow to one side.

and it can be different with different brightness settings as well.

it was like this in the original too but i feel with the brightness of this one it's actually worse.

I can 100% see issues with it if you have issues with your eyes. Barring that though, there is a pretty clear contrast. I fully support more games to have color-blind graphics options. I wish I could remember the game now but there was a game that was fully developed with red/green color-blindness in mind and it had a super dope art-style.

There's a mod that changes the background colour to not be so white on off-white. It really is a terrible level of contrast. I've been struggling with it as well.

i mean even with corrective lenses it doesn't fix it which is what i was getting at.

getting glasses won't help this issue lol, and other people who have perfect vision with no colorblindness still see the issue im speaking of, if you're selecting an item in say the alchemy list where nothing is equipped there is an obvious brighter color to the selection.

my issues not with seeing it, it's the fact that when im in a menu with only 2 items that i can select from right next to each other, for some reason my brain thinks the darker one was the selected one.

there is no visual indication of selection other than the brightness of the selected item, in the case of two items in a list it can confuse people, that's all.

I'm also using glasses and really have to pay attention to see what i am selecting. Up to a point it takes like 10 seconds to see what item i selected if its a big list of items

Oh, well that just takes getting used to. I didn't realize that filled soul gems were turned to the left, at first. So I had to keep clicking details to figure out which soul gems were filled and which weren't.

facts, i don't even use my glasses because they really aren't needed, i have 2020 vision and only slight deutan issues, i still see green and red very vibrantly it's just that they tend to blend together and get confused in my brain at times, (seeing orange in a field of green can often make the orange look green,)

this however lets me see a huge contrast in things that are just brown, which the menus are.

and even i can barely tell the difference if it's just two items in a list im selecting from. (as in i can see it's brighter but just being brighter doesn't mean somethings selected in most games)

i just had to remember it's the brighter one.

There is a Mod on nexus that set other colors to the selected item instead of grey.

i think most of us got this game so that we didn't have to mod it to work the way we wanted

not including custom mods for gameplay and such but QOL things like this in this game should be done by the devs, that's kinda the whole reason a lot of people got it other than the graphical upgrades.

this is one of those things that is a very tiny issue that sure can be fixed with mods, but a QOL addition none the less that could take the devs literally seconds to alter and make better.

it would be nice is all.

How could it have been made better? It might be ableist of me as I have 20/15 vision with no color impairments but there seems to be a pretty clear contrast. The menu is a tan-ish color. Items that are equipped are highlighted in grey. The selected item is highlighted in white. I'm sure there is a color combination that could be better but most colors are going to ruin the aesthetic of the menus being scrolls.

True, probably could have been better. See if this works for you. I just installed it and its atleast a bit easier to see, for me atleast. Also easy to install.

Thanks Mortal_Kasi for pointing me in the right direction.
