Fuel Enhancements

@redrum Well once you go to an off white design.... the idea of using Yellow might be a moot point.

I have always felt that using colours common to nations is also not advisable.

Orange might be a better choice since it is not commonly used in games as a national colour... as well as being in good contrast to off-white.

Even lighter gray (not sure exactly what off white is considered) with a dark orange instead of yellow text:

Same but with same size text:

@redrum Same size numbers look nice.

Yeah the off white requires a color change in numbers. I guess grey is acceptable neutral color as well.

With @Hepps magic off whitish color:

And when you don't have enough movement (need to still work on shrinking canvas size):

@redrum Every appendage I can raise.... is raised. 2 thumbs.... 2 big toes... and a sausage.

[redrum]

@hepps Please keep it PC, you don't want @prastle to add 'sausage' to his list of naughty words

[prastle]

@redrum rofl btw i don't think i ever added bad words that's all you and @LaFayette or maybe @RoiEX

@redrum The sausage police may come after ya.;)

Now that we've all had some time to think about @Hepps sausage... I think we can take a look at how movement/fuel canvas is shaping up.

Multi-units with different fuels that can all make it:

Multi-units with different fuels where only some can make it:

Multi-units with different fuels where none can make it:

Double digit fuel cost:

@redrum Awesome, great job!

Regarding the changes on the info bar. It no longer displays "unit prod: #". Now it only displays "production: PUs #". Can we have both displayed?

I use different unit production from PUs value in my Big World 3 for pacific islands. I believe there are others that do this as well.

[redrum]

So for consistency with other areas, I decided its probably better to keep the resource symbol first then the quantity so here is the updated version:

@General_Zod So I purposely decided to remove unit production from the bottom bar mostly because it seems to cause lots of noise on most maps with little or no value. There are some maps that set unit production to the same value for all territories so it becomes redundant. My feeling was that it belonged better in the territory tab with other less used information. I'm open to revisiting if the majority of folks would rather see it displayed in the bottom bar.

Couple of small adjustments and here is the PR: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/3189

I would think it is best to have that movement canvas coloured in a clean grey color as in the first picture examples, not a creamy yellowish sandish coloring.

The reason for this is that any coloring of the canvas, might be in visual / stylish conflict with the specific map artwork or style. Also, I would say that grey might be the most neutral color that would go along with any engine UI. (Excluding black and white, as they are not as pleasant for the eyes.)

I think that the newest pictures look great, as the coloring is in line with the CW map. But we have to think of ALL maps.

[redrum]

@frostion I'm open to different canvas colors and will probably go with whatever the majority votes for. Here is a light gray version:

If anyone wants to suggest a specific color code, I'm glad to give it a try.

@redrum

Maybe try the first number back to yellow if using a grey again.
