What do folks think about these colors and adding the labels next to the lines.  I made the lines 3x thicker.


These are all big improvements. I like everything - the dark background, the labels, and the thicker lines. Remembering the db path is another nice QoL improvement.

Ideally, I'd like the rest of the UI to have a dark mode available, but I would guess that is tied up in the UI library and much more difficult to implement.

I asked AI (cursor w/ claude 4) to fix the last few issues posted here.  I'll post a source patch when I get a chance

I made it remember the last db path so you don't have to find each it every time you launch the tool which is nice.

I agree with the last comment about the mineral colors.

I love the tool, but I find the lines with the lighter colors to be quite hard to read/distinguish on the white background:



Is there any way you could something like a background toggle, or just a way to increase line thickness?

Hi,

any plans to update to latest version?

The latest Marvin version runs fine with the latest Aurora version as there weren't any changes which had an implication on Marvin, that's why I didn't released a new one.

Feature Request:

Mineral Survey Screen with a few extra bells and whistles.
As well as the default search tools (duranium > 10,000, duranium accessibility > 0. 5 etc. ), it would be nice to sort by:
    total mineral amount (all added up per body)
    total normalized amount (all multiplied by acessibility, added up per body) e. g 1000 duranium with 0. 5 accessibility gives a +500 to the total (then sorted by highest first total)


Can take a little while to do fuzzy maths in my head when looking for general bodies that are worth mining.  The screen as is it is now is fine for finding specific minerals to mine, but doesn't really make it easy to look for "general" mining targets

Thanks for the suggestion. I took a look at something like this in the past but never implemented it.
I think it was not that straight forward but to be honest I can't remember the reason why I never worked on it.  ;D
I'll take a look at it again once 2.2.0 is released :)

Can Marvin maybe remember what database you load and then automatically load that one when you start the program?

Suggestion:

I would use the Notes tab more if I didn't have to remember to click the Update button.

What if the game auto-saved your Notes on application exit and/or whenever it detects an updated Aurora db (before loading the new data)?

Thank you!

A question I have is how to save the ship designs, I don't see an update button like on the notes tab.

There is no possibility to update ship designs at the moment. You can just add designs in the current version.

The only suggestion I have is probably too much work to ask, but find myself wishing I there was a checkbox list to hide items from the overview tab.  That window can get very busy and long, the larger the empire gets.

You can hide item groups from the menu. Single items is not possible as I have to track and map them against the game and I couldn't find a reliable way to do it.

Sincere apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but all the graphs in AuroraMarvin show up entirely blank (pictures attached). What am I doing wrong here?
You need the game to be saved like 3 times before these charts become useable.
