Problem: I am very interested in road map key coloration but suffer from a degree of colour vision deficiency which means that distinguishing degrees of colour can be difficult. Being able to select the colours (in particular the ability to choose the range of difference between similar colours, so that, for example, the distinction beween a lighter yellow and a darker yellow is more marked) would be useful.
Request: I would be grateful if the following could be implemented:
- The ability for the user to set colours for Roadmap key coloration (which should also include setting for relative key colors).
- The abilty to select a no colour option as a setting for an individual key (particularly for the home key).
- The abiltity to select a no colour option for all keys.
Most of the population has a degree of colour blindness. If the individual user can't adjust the colours to suit them why even have this feature?
Your request will be considered. However, it is only me available to handle it right now, and I have other stuff in the way. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. You can turn off road map coloration by pressing the "Gray" button.

I recall (altough my recollection may be faulty, as It was so long ago) that when you first introduced the colour feature you were going to implement a "user set colour" option soon after.
Nothing happened so 2 years ago I made my request. I didn't get any response or acknowledgement and this is the first time I have followed up.
If nothing can or will be done then that would be a preferably position to be aware of, rather than expecting each new release to deal with the issue.
Btw: I was aware of the "Gray" button. When I asked for a "no colour" option because, for me, the Gray was more of a nuisance than no colour.
I have added the ability to set roadmap colors in the preferences file. It will be included in the next release. At this point, there is unlikely to be a color editor supplied, so the user interested in setting colors will need to supply the RGB values in the preferences file.
Fixed in version 10.2, soon-to-be-released.
