Hello.

I've got a problem. I don't know if it already was here before this update. When you're spectating someone or are unspawned, XMLMarker / Player label background won't show. That is boring, because it makes the text not readable.

Here's some screenshot to explain clearly what I mean :

Spectator view / Unspawned player view :



Spectator view ON Player / Spawned player view:



Thank you in advance for your answers <3

Best regards,

I would personally like to not have background for player's labels when I'm playing because if players are grouped in a same place, labels are over the skins of the players placed behind them...

Having text only is simply not readable. Text needs to be read in some of my mods, but it can't be easily seen because of no BG :/

Btw you can disable labels visibility by pressing "²" (The character on top of tab) if you don't want to see them

I don't find them unreadable but it's just my opinion ^^

I want to see player's name for example when I notice that this players is much stronger than the others so I don't want to hide them.

If backgrounds aren't shown when spectating from bird eye in team mode it's definently a bug. If i remember correctly, there always were backgrounds in team modes (in TrackMania theyre always).

Personally i'd also like to have no background even while playing in FFA modes, both in TM and SM. Bgs are..., ekh..., ugly .

Hi.

On Duel Elite, when map is shown from top and markersXML shows Attacker / Defender spawn, it's really not readable if there's no background.

As you said Domino, this is a bug, so this "should" be fixed.

To extend the opinion it would be a good idea to add something like an attribute to hide background on demand if people don't like it that much :/ (However this solution wouldn't be viable for Player labels which are handled by the game itself)

Hope it helps.
