    |

Does anyone have any ideas for an interesting background for the in-game console? Or do you prefer a solid color like it is now. Of course I'll allow the user to set their own, using console commands, but this would be for the default. Not immediately important, but making the program look nice certainly helps.

I think I like the idea of the solid color better, since the translucency still allows the level to be seen beyond the console window.
If an image were to be used, a modified version of Kyle's in-game PDA might work well.

Green does sound like a good color choice. Another option might be a pale bluish color.

Dark Forces briefing screens suggest a color and amount of translucency that could be an inspiration.
Against black the RGB values are 44-24-00, but the delta against the artwork is 28-24-24, so I dunno, someone can figure it out!
The console text could use those text colors too.

There are console commands for changing the console color/opacity and texture - so when the build comes out people can play with the values and post something here that they like. The default could be switched to the settings that people like the most (assuming it's not the current default).
