contact sheet - customising colours (stars)

[FVlcek]

Hi, would it be possible to add customisable colour of the Star ratings someday in the future? With mostly gray-themed contact sheet (which is best for assessing the photos), the lighter-gray stars don't stand out well enough. I would like to be able to make them e.g. orange (but with the gray dots of unasigned stars remaining gray) - so one would see quickly upon glancing on the screen which photos are star-rated and which not.

Thanks

They're alpha-channel bitmaps that I suppose could be tinted at runtime.  In the meantime, you could choose a more distinctive "Background color for Color Class and 5-star ratings:" in the Contact Sheet tab of the Preferences dialog.  Something that isn't jarring, but has a bit more contrast than you are using now...

OK, thanks. Nevermind then. Frantisek
