Other Adjusting the UI Transparency to make it easier to see inventories/chests

[Alece]

The transparency for the UI makes it difficult to see items in inventory or chests. There's an option on the Switch to adjust the opacity of the UI, but I haven't seen it on any other version. I think they should add it to PC

Thanks for that! That’s good to know

Yes, please. It drives me nuts. I cant find anything because all the objects in my inventory blend with the background into a big mess. I can never find anything unless it happens to be something solid colored behind it. Annoying to have to find a blank background to see stuff in your bag.

Please! For the love of all things good... Give PC users an opacity setting! Everything except the PC has a UI transparency slider. (Funny, because I see posts as far back as 2015 asking for that to be added as an option or as a mod to "fix" the issue.) Nearly 7 years later and it's the ONE thing they could easily add, but have not added, for PCs. They added it for every other platform!

adding onto this, i would love to see full UI control. let us reposition ui elements how we want, and even outright remove some elements.
EDIT: now that i think about it: why the hell wasn't this functionality added with the steam deck update?

I’m pretty sure you can do this now, at least with the mini map on PC

Nope, you can only change its border, size, or remove it, but you cant actually move it around the screen.

well, with the page up and page down keys, you can change the transparency of the minimap. I actually do it quite often while mining to see ores or enemies that would otherwise be hidden behind the minimap.

I would very much like to be able to change the opacity too, it just hurts my eyes honestly

 

[Twiliwolf55555]

There are texture packs that can help with this for the time being, but they aren't adjustable in-game. Yeah, the minimap display does have an opacity changing option but there's nothing to change the map border opacity, which would be very nice to see.

Can we add races like skyrim or something that would be cool like goblin canine elf etc

What in the world does that have to do with

Adjusting the UI Transparency to make it easier to see inventories/chests​

??? lol


You should probably look at these posts regarding races, they'd probably be more helpful for you:

Suggestion: Player character races

I should stress first, I watched PaperBatVG's Terraria videos from before the game existed and I know this isn't a new idea. Blue himself said he wanted to add races and specified dwarves (the demolitionist was already in the game). I hope Journey's End or maybe a further update could add...

Enhanced Player Creation

So recently I was starting up a new character and a few things annoyed me about player creation: There's only a few hairstyles with beards. The ones they do have suck. Other than hair you can't change anything other than the colour of your player. So, I came up with this. Beards: Beards...

WIP - Terraraces - Adding races to Terraria I guess

That's right! It's me. The fluffy derpling is back at it again with the center-aligned text! This probably won't get as much traffic as my other stuff, but I don't really care as long as I can get people on it to balance it because I really don't know how to do balance right. Basically this is...

a bit of a necro but I didn't want to just repeat what the OP said in a new post. as somebody getting back into terraria after a while, this is the single biggest annoyance with the game right now tbh. it's not always a problem, but searching through chests against a busy background is super frustrating. The transparency is useful just to know what's going on in that corner of the screen, but putting it on a slider in the settings somewhere so it could be turned up and down as needed would help out a lot (and give the option to everybody who wants to set transparency to 100%)

Personally, I use Stormdark as a fix. (Basically UI Dark mode.) As the only people with this problem is PC, who can access this... It's a solution

thank you, this is helpful!!

 

[Spodnie]

So annoying. I've been trying to find a solution for this ever since I started playing this game (about a month ago)


page up and page down works for minimap, make it work for inventory UI too when it's open. I BEGIN YOU.
Or just an option in game settings. Anything, please

 

[Altermaven🌸🎀]

I, too, would like to have an option to be able to adjust the inventory UI opacity. Not because I have an issue, but because I believe it would be great for accessability.

The most mind boggling thing about this is that based on this video

they've already fixed this 5 years ago but only for console platforms for some f*ing reason... so why can't PC have this? we have the same issue so it should have been a no brainer...
