Hi :)

I'd like to suggest a colour change on the +wood, + iron etc.

I find it very difficult to read the green numbers on the brown background.
I have to get within a few inches of the screen and look under my glasses to be able to read the numbers at the top.

Weirdly, stone, research, books and the rest of the bottom line are all easily readable but the ones higher up are very difficult.

My preference would be red numbers but someone in chat mentioned that red is a 'popular' colour blind colour so I don't know if that would be the best choice.

For me it's not a colour blind thing, its simply a bad eyesight thing.

I agree about the poor contrast between the green and the gold background - especially the darker gold tones.  And my eyes are farily good, still.  :)

The problem might be that you are using a CRT screen. My laptop displays the numbers perfectly, even though I am a bit farsighted in one eye.

LCD flat panels.  Both my desktop and laptop.  It is somewhat improved if I increase brightness to painfull levels.  Leather Armor production is the hardest to see.

After reading and responding to this post, I realized that I was subconciously squinting to see those little green numbers. When I looked at them normally, I saw what you guys were talking about. I suggest making the numbers blue.

Or just Bold Black.  Also, comma separators in the quantities would improve readability.

I think Bold Black  would be best.
