"Some players' spell casting text is defaulted to dark gray making very very difficult for people to read and almost all have this color, I am registered blind and it's not problem of UO but is there anything they can do to even change the default text color, as very very hard to read i'm sure even for able bodied persons.

There is setting in uoassist for me but it only affects non magery spells"

    Don't know how to change colors like we all do?
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Sorry video too tiny to see which one.  Since you are so good  it seems you welcome a challenge. 


    Or stop playing with cheaters and you would never know that info, like 95% of the other players. 
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    “I am just guessing actually because before I thought it was someone doing it purpose because they know I have vision problem but now it’s everyone so I am assuming it’s a default setting and not deliberately done just to exploit my disability”

    “People can have whatever Color text they want.
    but I’m sure they didn’t choose this Color so won’t care if it gets changed.
    im not even sure it displays this Color to them anyway so they prob won’t even know if it gets changed to something clearer”

    So you're saying you're never going to actually page on any of the cheaters just come here and complain while repeatedly violating the TOS?

    Just guessing:

    Is this a color that you could choose or do they have a better pallet? If it's not a normal UO color you could ID who is using that client to better page on them.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    “I think it’s a normal uo Color (but I think they see it as a clearer color or else they wouldn’t leave it so) because they have to read too so for them it’s I think legible color”

    Default speech color in CC is yellow, this is the color seen by both the person speaking/casting and everyone else, however it can be edited

    “okay they are not using CC though, i will contact their client dev with request for something that is not affecting them but affecting CC users.

    Someone makes my text difficult to read without affecting their text,
    seems like something i should be able to control on my side rather than someone else"

    If people are using dark grey like in the pic, that color is an option that is available in CC (you can see it in Mariah's pic). To my knowledge, you cannot change someone else's font color for your own viewing preference.

    Better question is why are the MODs helping him trouble a 3rd party client and why is this thread even allowed.

    Screenshot does not show any problem, it only shows how words of power are intended to work in conjunction with a player's selected speech color.

    What next? The sky is blue so the grass should be blue as well?

    Also, get glasses you two eyed dork.

    "But why someone is able to set my txt color when it don't affect them?
    (pictured is default EC UI. because everyone getting upset about third party client.)

    Just seems wrong to me, i should be able to choose color i see since its me with vision problem, not third person choosing my color, when they see it clear green and it don't affect them.

    I can't change their color so why they can change mine?"

    Everything is working as intended.

    Sounds like you should use the EC, as it already does exactly what you are asking.

    You're showing someone casting two mini heals? Not sure what your argument here is.

    Or are you complaining that someone is using a feature of the game that has existed since the game was launched to intentionally make it more difficult to see their spells? People have been doing that forever.

    You were clearly able to see it well enough to know when to stop and take a screenshot of it.

    You say you are blind but yet you PvP with no problem which I find hard to believe.  So are you blind or are you color blind because there is a huge difference.
