changing currency color

Still doesn't make sense to not have it green or some such distinctly different color.

Just because some other game had non-distinct colors to differentiate stuff, doesnt mean newer games need to make that same decision :-P

There have been periodic posts/requests for changing the currency drop colors, as it is not distinguishable at all (for me, for instance - it looks 99.99999% the same as a white item).

There also was a post in suggestions - which I have kinda stopped bumping.

Mainly because I think it is GGG's design philosophy to make currency drops intentionally hard to identify, so needing attention, and so the marginally different off-white color chosen for those by the designers. I arrived at that mainly because of complete lack of response in any of the threads, so not worth bumping/requesting etc.

Now I am back to peering at each screen intently for a minute before moving to next one etc :( oh well.

I think this has something to do with your monitor/screen.
I've had difficulties differentiating currency from whites while watching a friend play, but never on my own PC. I also kept "seeing" chromatic items that weren't chromatic on his monitor.
I believe this is a client side issue.

I agree on different monitors displaying it slightly differently (and that slight different display makes a world of difference in this case).

But the whole idea of DECIDING that currency color is going to be slightly off-white, instead of a distinctly different color (like it is for magic,rare,unique items?) is what made me think that it was an intentional design decision.

I think Dan saying it wont get you banned is good enough, anyone like to share?

I said it's unlikely to, but it is still violating the TOS to edit the internal game files, so yes, it is illegal as far as we're concerned.
