Improving Timer Readability with Styling and Backgrounds

Depending on your screen resolution and the color of active status effect icons, plain text overlays can sometimes be difficult to read. You can fully customize the visual presentation of the countdown text to ensure high visibility.

Customizing Text Colors and Opacity

1. Navigate to the mod settings menu.

2. Open the text appearance options.

3. Select custom colors for your status effect timers to match your preference or contrast better against icon colors.

4. Use the opacity setting to increase visibility or make the numbers semi-transparent so the underlying effect icon remains visible.

Adding Shadows and Background Plates

If text still blends into bright or busy status icons, add background elements for better contrast:

1. Toggle the text shadow option on. This adds a drop shadow behind the countdown digits, separating them cleanly from the icon.

2. Enable the background option to place a solid or semi-transparent backing directly behind the text overlay.

3. Adjust the background opacity to your liking, ensuring the text remains legible without obstructing too much of the game screen.
