Request ( Colored value types icons for Unity light theme)

[nikitalinoParticipant]

Hi. In light theme there no colored value icons for value types like integers or booleans.icons are grey .

And in blackboard variables window no icons to understand what variable type even for black theme. so its confusing sometimes specially for floats and integers . when float are round values.

i use light theme cos my eyes tired on black.

i can live without colored icons but will be good if it will be such option)

ps. probably its hard to add for variables cos some values(camera.audio) has icons and some not. 3 screen

Hello there,

At first there were colored icons on nodes, but they really looked bad on the light grey background (which nodes have) and as a result I simply made them dark grey instead on purpose. You can actually test it out yourself by doing a small change in source code. Please open up FlowNode.cs and comment out lines #1168, #1176, and #1181 just to see how they look like 🙂

As for blackboard variables integer and float are indeed the only two I can see potential in being confused between one another. In the past there were colors (in the name) to differentiate the two, but that also got removed. Maybe I will try something else for those.

Let me know what you think on the colored icons change above.

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for the follow up 🙂

The dark outline looks better for sure on the light theme. The only problem is that the same set is used for the dark theme (where it wont look as good) but since you don’t use the dark theme that is fine of course 🙂

I will take a look at some comment-type of option for the variable name coloring, sure.

Thanks!
