    PC Configuration

    An INI config file (ShowStarNames.ini) can be used to control font size and default behavior for showing system colors by level

    You can change these settings in the file while the game is running; re-open the map for the new settings to take effect

    • []"FontSize" controls the font size of names. Default 14, minimum of 10, maximum of 36 (Vanilla is 18)[/]

      []"FontSizeLarge" controls the font size when Starfield's "Large Menu Fonts" is turned on in Accessibility settings. Default 22, minimum of 10, maximum of 36 (Vanilla is 26)[/]

      []"LevelColorDefaultOn" sets the default behavior of showing the level colors when opening the map. 0 (zero) to not show colors by default, 1 to show colors by default. [/]

      []You can still use the hotkey to toggle the colors in addition to the default behavior[/]
