I love the NS2 Health- and Energybar as you see in the screenshot.

In order to make it visible I've changed my AV to be pretty dark. But in general it would be helpful that I could somehow increase its visibility. Like modifying a DDS File or just increasing the contrast or something.

would brighter colors suffice?

So you want to be able to set custom base colors and alphas? Am I missing something else?

Maybe being able increase the bar's border width to make them stand out more could help as well.

I think bright might suffice as well... but in general it is hard to see through Alienvision. Borders alone would not help it - @Handschuuh

So I think we can agree on being able to set custom colors would be the best way?

I made a Mod which modifies the centerhudbar.dds file now: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1382367868 http://prntscr.com/jg7a7x This doesn't look as perfect as before, but I changed basically the Transparency-Alpha from 120/255 to 165/255... now it is less transparent and more visible. Being able to make the colors brighter would still be in my interested but with this the priority is pretty low.

Maybe if the DDS File were a bit more polished it could be pushed to NS2+... but I don't even know how many ppl are actually using this setting.
