Greetings!
Does anyone else feel the need for atleast 2-3 more icon color options in the settings for some roleplay purposes (e.g. for Nurgle/Slaanesh devoted teams and e.t.c.)?
I firmly believe that it would be awesome to have a few more options other then Red and Blue, even if they would work in a similar way as the Font colors settings (changes are visible only for the actual user).
Thanks for Your attention.

Nice idea! But i don't know how it works and if it's possible to implement.

I bet you could get a volunteer in 2 seconds to make a 'lighter' and a 'darker' grayscale version of the standard team icons we have now. That would bring the options available up to 4.. red/blue/light grey (white team)/ dark grey (black team).

I think the client would need a new a menu to select the home & away icon colors.

(I would also happily make a green, yellow, white, black and brown version of all the standard icon uniforms.. and the star players)

But if I understand how the system works, the client uses the right or left side of the current icon packs for the home and away team, meaning red/blue or blue/red are the only options.

I wonder if you could substitute different color 'sets' into the client more easily than actually picking a home team color. Meaning you would have to swap the red/blue choice for a white/black choice, or a yellow/brown choice, or a light/dark grayscale choice.

Anyway.. I agree, OP, more colors is more fun, imo. And I'm happy to play with icon colors. But the size of the ask for client modification might be large.

It's a fun idea to play with.

Also.. who knew human lineman #8 was an Amazon defector with a proper helmet on? I didn't see it until I changed the uniform color to black.

In theory, yes. This is something in the plans with the "larger icons" project (slowly) being worked on.

The current icon set doesn't support that as the colours used isn't unified (even across a single icon), and therefore it's hard to programmatically replace the colours.

Here is a link to a post I made, where you can create custom icons: https://fumbbl.com/p/blog&c=Salano&id=25084

I know the new client lets me save icons for the game locally now, but did I also read that this is only to get the game started faster.. and that the icons also 'update' in my local cache behind the scenes, once the game is under way?

If they didn't (or don't) 'update', in theory, I could be using my own custom icons for every race, right? (just by replacing the cache icons with re-named custom icons?)

This is the coolest idea. Please test it and tell us if it works

I expect that would work. Obviously only showing on your own end.

But does java search my cache and upload new versions of the files in the background once the game has started, or did I understand that incorrectly?
