Some usability improvements in the FICS interface

[daSilva65]

Some seven years ago Scid vs. PC arrived with the option for custom text colors in the FICS console and the console background. That would be welcome in scidCommunity as well. I would make that green and that blue text less dark (or alternatively, the background less dark).

I'm just taking a look at Scd v. PC and I only see options to change the "green" text color (they call "Text Color", but no ability to change other text colors like the blue, orange text) and the "background" (they call "Colors"). So even in Scid v. PC, you could only change those two, correct?

@daSilva65 I will see if I can allow users to customize the background and "main" text color (default green) and will keep you updated on how it's implemented.

Ok. Thanks. Take your time.

@daSilva65 v5.1.3.24 now has the ability for users to select the FICS terminal background and text color using the Options/Preferences/FICS menu. Changes happen in "real time", so you can have the FICS terminal open and experiment with different color choices. As always, use Options\Save Options to save your color preferences.

That's good. Now this became much more readable. Thank you!

Thank you for the request. Little by little we improve scidCommunity 😊
