Seems quite nice although I always use dark blue as my company color but I just had to test it. Nice job.

Very nice, I like the colour, however, is there any way of getting it it so that it changes the colour of station names, signs, and title bars on company windows?

Does it really hurt to read the thread before downloading?
2) For some reason, it doesn't change the window title bar colours when starting a new game in TTDP. It works fine when loading an existing game.

Thinks of a good use of this in UKRS trains, and downloads.

I have a good use for this- PikkaBird's NARS set. Good color for the American steam engines, which were in real life, black.

Thanks a million!

Only thing is OTTD seems to tag the grf as "unsafe", thus not allowing its use in the "static grf" section. :cry:

I presume that you believe either that this is Pikka's problem, or that this is the appropriate place to report problems with Open's GRF handling. Care to elaborate on which of those you think is the case, and what possessed you to think that?
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

I think its the fact that it changes the name of the colours, cause i don't think a simple colormap change should be tagged as unsafe as it doesn't alter anything that would be relevant to the other clients. Stuff like dutch catenary work in static grfs section..

Stop repeating your post, i already told what i presume and its a problem with the grf then. Unless you can't read english of course wich would explain why you just repeat something over, and over when somebody clearly states what he presumes is wrong.

Personally I think it's better like that. I never really liked the mauve.

This works in OTTD's 'static grf' section, since 26th of April, though the text change has no effect currently. There is no problem in the GRF.
He's like, some kind of OpenTTD developer.

I just found this, what a great thing, Pikka ;)

Wenn I first played OpenTTD and opened up the company window I thought "company color? black, of course!", opened up the menu and... no black there. But with this GRF it is possible (although especially busses appear very greyish, but I suppose that's not your fault)...

However, would you be so kind to make a version which replaces pink instead of purple? Because I might want to use purple in my color scheme too, but I don't think I would ever choose pink...


Alternatively, if I just have to open up a Hex Editor and change a value somewhere in your GRF to accomplish this, or something similarily trivial, you could tell me how, so I can do it myself. I don't know anything about GRF editing or the programs you need to do something like that (yeah, I'm sure you could get that from the wiki, but for now I'm concentrating on playing the game, not making my own stuff for it :mrgreen: )
