Colours in the character list

In the character list you see the place the character is in, in gray or white. I would like to have more colours.

My suggestion is like this:

White - character outside, not travelling
Grey - character outside, travelling
Dark blue - character in boat on sea
Light blue - character in boat on a location
Yellow - character in land vehicle on road
Red - character in land vehicle on a location
Orange - character in house

Maybe it could be all one colour if character is inside something on a location. But I would not like one colour inside vehicles both on sea/road and on locations.

With some sort of .alt txt?

First attempts at implementing this don't look good at all .

We are probably going to look at a textual method instead.

Tiddy - yes you're right to point out other access methods . If we do this with colours we should also implement alt texts as well .

The provision of textual references to images to help visually impaired users.

What changing the color scheme? What's wrong with the green?
Green is a very beautifull color, trees, plants, ehm other green thingies..

It would be a big shock to see my characters in anything other then green.
Don't know if they can cope with such a change...


:D
