Anyone else have this issue or is it just me? I can hardly see the arrow buttons while playing on mobile. I’m always clicking in the wrong spot lol...

in terms of the image it's because you linked the galley, you need it ending in .png or .gif or whatever image format it's in:
generally you need to right click the image and select copy image address or something along those lines

should be your link then dump the img tags around it:



I believe that's more of an issue with specific maps, not really the biggest issue imo seeing it only really affects 1 or 2 maps, they need to be somewhat faded otherwise you can't see the map behind which is more annoying hence why i have map arrows turned off

Maybe I am going senile again, but I think there was a post a few (3 or more) years ago posting some Tampermonkey type script that helped you change the transparency of the arrows / whistle.

Not 100% certain, but maybe some of the older players have some idea, NR1 may have them?

Maybe Slushslush, Jangalong or the person who setup the Bufcore character list in the bufcore thread, I forgot the username.

I think the tamper monkey script actually removed them ?

Those scripts fully removed them, but there's no need to hvae those scripts anymore since u actually can turn it off in the settings nowadays:

Hmm, from previously HTML5 website coding, I can ascertain that if they can "remove" it, they can script the transparency. This is based on the aid of people posting how to use the "Right Click option to INSPECT the code functions related to certain areas." and those that have made a script (tampermonkey etc).

Thanks for this information. I was actually referring to the actual fact of script writing to alter the "Transparency" of the Arrows / Whistle.

EDIT #2: if the transparency can NOT be changed in the script, then you have to alter the RGB of the Arrows / Whistle, a good example is to make them appear in RED, and if this happened, the background color of a normal catacomb or Map will NOT influence the change UNLESS, it is already red... i.e. Volcano maps which are ORANGE in color (RGB)

edited and deleted irrelevant comment.

I am with you. Many times I get lost for a bit playing on mobile, on the normal catacombs, not just maps.

My issue is not so much the arrows, but the opacity and transparency of the character icon on the minimap, and the minimap as well. When facing a direction where those elements are against a white background (not a brown wall), they can be hard to see unless I max the brightness on my phone (not fun for playing in the dark). This is especially noticeable if you are in the upper left quadrant of a map and the whistle icon is also causing visibility interference.

Would be nice if we could change the opacity or even add a black border to them, that would help immensely.

Sadly, mobile has always taken a back seat, so I dont have high expectations, but it sure would be nice.

To be honest with you, I have trouble with a Screen and the opacity/transparency already @ 150% Zoom... I feel sorry for those who actually play LS on a phone and such a small display unit.

EDIT: brings new meaning to "Squint-eyed" syndrome.
