In X3847 I've changed it to properly fade the text out (which was what I meant to do in X3832 all along, but I missed something out and the result seemed okay at the time), and instead of fading from 100% -> 50% over the 1km, it now fades from 100% -> 0% which I hope will help somewhat with Bart's issue (if not, we can still reduce the distance).
James, thank you for your contribution in the code optimization and implementing this new functionality.
When I've been reading other comments, I’ve found some suggestions for using different settings.
There are people with different opinions, some of them prefer a distance range of 1000 meters, others want a distance range of 500 meters and there are another group of people that would like to change the label’s colour or the label’s intensity.
For all this, I attach a patch with your new code, to test different configuration, to display the labels.
In the Menu / Options / Video, there are three new checkbuttons, to make the choice.
- Distance range 1000 meters or 500 meters.
- Labels change intensity or color (Yellow to Orange).
- Labels solid or transparent color.
All of which is a proposal to test the different configurations and find the most suitable.
I attached the patch file for test-bench purpose.
Thanks for your work.
Regards,
Mauricio
