For years, people have asked us for the ability to change the color and size of the text in our games, and now you can! We now offer a choice of three background colors (black, white, and sepia) and many choices of text size.
You can find the new “Settings” button right at the top of the screen on web and Steam, or on the menu screen on iOS or Android.
Luckily for you, our “black” background is #242424, and our “white” foreground is #ffffff at 0.85 opacity, approximately #d9d9d9. Give it a try; I think you’ll like it.
Awesome! I’ve wanted this for so long. Can’t wait til it comes out for all the other titles. I’m guessing this will be even more appreciated with Steam fans, too.
If I could make a suggestion, if you’re ever adding more colours to the list would you consider a beige-ish/ very light orange-tan colour? Android have it on their readers for evenings when the light is dimmer and I find it fantastic, much easier on your eyes.
The default color on all of our games is a beige-ish/very light orange-tan color. (We’re calling it “sepia” but maybe that’s not a great name for it.) “Sepia” is the default and will remain the default; feel free to switch back and forth between a white background and a sepia background to see the difference (it’s pretty subtle).
I do - gave the web-based trial of midnight a spin for a few pages. Will have to reinstall it through steam and give it a full run through again in dark mode and see what it’s like over an extended read.
Which part is that colour? All I see is black on off-white-almost-silver-grey. My screen isn’t perfect calibration but its approx DeltaE is 2.3-2.4
Yep I’ve seen it and much prefer it to B/W version that amazon uses. I haven’t described what I was talking about well, the colour I was talking about is a few shades darker again Not sure how much call there is for a night mode though.
Great news I can use accessibility tools to have white text on a black background…but that turns everything black/white on my phone/laptop, which isn’t always helpful . If we’re doing colour suggestions, although black/white is best for me, I hear other visually impared people like black text on a yellow background.
Yeah, I can see it if I add it as a custom colour in paint.net and increase its saturation.I’d really just call it off-white given how close it is to white.
Some of us are using image headers at the start of a new chapter (e.g choice of Alexandria) many of these are black text/images on transparent backgrounds. How can we ensure these are visible to a reader reading on a black background?

Not in current version of CScript, at least.
