Yeah I spent some time trying to figure out crimson but gave up after an hour. Maybe I'll re-debug it later. Something changed in an update and ruined it. Anyway, glad you like this one, thanks for the comment.

I love this mod... too bad the Crimson version doesn't work-- that would be perfect in Princes of Darkness...

There have been complaints on mods crashing since recent updates. This one loads and works perfectly for me. Without knowledge on why mods are crashing for some people or how to make it crash myself it'll be hard for me to edit this mod to comply. Feel free to provide more information in a new post in the "Discussions" tab above the screenshots. I've subscribed myself to be notified if anyone creates a new topic. Good luck.

@Betty Blue, Don't know.

Looks nice but is it compatible with achievements?

Thanks for the support, Ben.

ℜ͉̈́ц͎̇﹩̭̈́ℌ͉̽¥89, try using steamworkshopdownloader.com . Though, you should like the mod to show your support.

Crimson Tooltip added to the Workshop!

I do not know sire, I shall beat my self for my stupidity.

No. I'm not hosting this, Steam is for me. You know how to find the direct link of something published to Workshop? Feel free to advise, but no guarantees.

Can we get a manual Download link please?

sexy

Thank you for trying it, Mudcrab

Some nice DDS magic wizardry. Thank you.

I found the reasoning strage. I always prefer white text on black because you can relax the eye. So this is because of eye problems then? Well, I guess that's why it never was a problem for me. :/

@seagull and btw, thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Due to font color restraints, the bg must remain dark. I just made it not AS dark. I think flipping the colors would be outside the scope of a "quick mod". Also I've only seen a separate tooltip for Muslim.

How about possibly a light green or desert yellow one for the muslim interface and a brown one for the pagan religions, or is it the same colour for every interface?

I like it, thanks for the mod.

Cool guys! Thanks for saying.

Thanks so much for this mod. Simple, yet is such a big difference. I never play wihout it now.

Thank you, this is much easier on the eyes

Thanks Mudscrub.
They sure are Luc.

Perfect for Roman playthroughs. Good job.

but books are black on white

I agree, Kal, same here.

and yes smiggy it is quite possible with the right bitmap font software. The fonts are not truetype but actually made from sprite sheets with an accompanying character instruction file.

Is it possible to change the font in the tooltips?

Thank you for this! The tooltips in this game cause me all sorts of difficulty due to the tooltip color palette.

My motivation for this mod was that 100% white text on 100% black background causes eyestrain and phantom images to burn into the retina for some to most people.

Just one research example for this states as follows:
----
People with astigmatism (aproximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white. Part of this has to do with light levels: with a bright display (white background) the iris closes a bit more, decreasing the effect of the "deformed" lens; with a dark display (black background) the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the lens creates a much fuzzier focus at the eye.

It's not a matter of "unable to read" it's a matter of "having difficulty reading".

are some people unable to read the default tooltips?

@Razorblade3012 The mod simply replaces the tooltip graphic and changes the color varable for its text, a minimal edit.

@magaZIN that might not be best, Europa is best started by doing single player.

Is it safe or is there a risk of file corruption or the game glitching out?

@ Iron add me if you want to do some coop game , id be glad to show you around ( 1000hrs + ) :P

Thanks guys!

@Yollom, of course! As long as those other mods don't compete for the tooltip graphic.

@magaZIN[QC] I'll look into it. Just bought that on sale. No promises.

Hey !! love your mod ! any chance you could make it for europa universalis 4 :D

This is also compatable with After the End and Elder Kings, just to let anyone who wonders that know.

i had a feeling this would be popular.

will this work with mods? (i see no reason why it shouldn't but it helps to check)

Update 12/8/14
-Made compatible with future CKII updates using script overrides.
-Added Muslim interface support.
-Increased opacity for further readability.

Wow, all the feedback is great! Thanks everyone, keep it coming. I'm working on some improvements as we speak. Mainly I want to ensure compatibility with any future CKII updates. And YES it is IRONMAN COMPATIBLE.

hmm, "white text on a black background" like, more than half of Steam...

doesnt seem to change cheksum. Thanks man I will be using this all the time from now on. there arent enough ui improvment mods on the workshop.

Just for the prettiness, honestly.

Is it ironman compatible?

Blue would be a better option for me, but I agree with you that black background with white text is a little obstructing.

Getting it, because purple is my favorite color. :D

Sweet! Glad you like it!

Its true what they say, the smallest mods are the best ones. This is going into my "Never disable" List.

My pleasure. Thank you for the feedback!
