#27 Game timer font color

[Peedoe]

Playing 40 Thieves, the timer fonts color is black. Pretty easy to read on the green table until you win a game and it goes dark with the You Win! overlay. Since the stat for the fastest games doesn't tell you when it occurred or list more than one, you don't know if the game you just won was the fastest or how close to a record you came.

Hopefully these items can be easily remedied in an update.

TIA,

Thank you for your interest in SolitaireCG.

Since the last release of SolitaireCG on Oct 19th, 2018, Google has changed the technical requirements for apps, which makes any update more difficult.

Google announced [1] that updates to apps must target Android 8.0 (API level 26) or higher starting Nov. 1, 2018.

This technical change means that if we wish to be published in the Play Store then we must meet the new requirements.

Unfortunately this means the loss of the three dot "..." menu because the three dot "..." menu is only available up to API 10 [2]. When the target API level is set higher then the three dot "..." menu is unavailable. Hence only the alternate "^" menu will be available.

Further, in testing we have discovered bugs when targeting a higher API, such as occasionally the "You Win" text does not display, and sometimes a user is prevented from performing some legal card moves to empty tableaus.

Consequently these above listed issues must be addressed first if we are to consider other updates and still be published in the Play Store.
