more than one color scheme.
Agree with everything.
Another thing I have a problem with is keeping focus when there are no lines (or different colours) in tables, or boxes seperating different things. It feels like my brain is interpreting pretty much every window as running text and there is even more strain because of it. VB6 Aurora was very easy on my eyes, and despite there being much data in windows it was easier because of the lines and boxes.

In most cases, you can (single!) click on the text and it will highlight the line for you. You can then move the highlighting up or down with the arrow keys. Not great, but it helps with long lists of ground forces or events.
Steve had said that it will come - question is just, when.
At the moment his task is squishing bugs. And he does a real MiB here. Impressive. UI and eye strain will hopefully be next so we can run real long term campaigns 😁.
Legends say there's a night mode mod for aurora C on reddit. Be aware, Steve does not endorse it (he seems pretty pissed : http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10775.0 (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10775.0)).
I personally find the window coloring in Quasar4x realy nice . . . looked at it and was impressed :). Maybe this would be also nice for Aurora?Quasar's colour scheme is amazing. Even though the user interface looks at first glance to me exactly the same as the old aurora had, maybe I'm biased by nostalgia for the good old interface. But check this out.
The scheme is quite nice though a bit grey. I do miss the input boxes as I've multiple times not realized I can edit a value. I kind of like that row lines are gone but that's just me
Having a variation of Solarized (https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/) would be awesome.
