Galaxies colour

[JoelM935]

Whenever I load or create a galaxy it appears plain white. I have seen videos and screen-shots of galaxies in a more realistic colour. Please help.

Try to use color modes.

Also, colors are disabled if you run it in safe mode.

Changing colour modes only affects the body in the centre of the galaxy

Are you running Safe Mode??

[JoelM935]

Don't think so, how can I check

Don't think so, how can I check

Go to to the main menu, click Feedback, and put in the note that your galaxies are all white and that you are "JoelM935" from the forums. I should be able to figure out what's going on.

Also try:
In version 1 of Universe Sandbox, press C to change color modes.

Maybe textures of dust won,t work?

Also when I click glow the whole screen goes white

Changing colour modes only affects the body in the centre of the galaxy. Colour modes don't work on grids either.

You probably are on Safe Mode. It makes dust turn white.

how can I get out of safe mode

[Naru523]

I don't know. I only did it once in Beta. Then I got out somehow.

[JoelM935]

I copied my US folder to another PC and galaxy colour was normal on the one hour trial.

I think it might be a limitation of your video card (and the way it's been implemented).

Which is why it worked on another computer.

The problem is on a laptop right?

One thing to try, but unlikely to fix it, would be to update your video drivers.

From the log files: You're not running in safe mode.

[JoelM935]

But I remember my galaxies being the right colour once on my laptop.

If I can't get it to work on my laptop how can I transfer my license onto my desktop.

[Dan Dixon]

You're welcome to use the same license on a 2nd computer that you own.
