"Good to know it also works with 2.7. "
"And yellow is still the "friend" color, so it might be a bit confusing. "
Yes Yellow is the firend color, but it changes the color of the Ships to Yellow also, not just the quantity identifier.

Found an interesting thing with 2.7, If you are not Player #1 it seems that player #1 will always map to FFFF00 Yellow.
So if you are not player1 or player5 you would have TWO opponents with the FFFF00 color (also the friend color)
There are many occurances of FFFF0000 in the program so I'm not going to hunt it down to try to find it.
As a result I have switched out FFFF00 yellow to FFFF80 straw.


"Still, white is the player's own color, so it shouldn't be used for other players. "
Valid point but for the 2.6 utility just map your own player number to FFFFFF white.





"How about exploring the possibility to make the program run as an executable instead of having to rely on something I'll never install on my computer because I value my system stability and safety, instead?"

Loading a hex editor and changing your own version of Stars! to get the colors you want is statisically WAAAAY safer than loading and running some black box executables.
