Map Start+b to toggle item highlighting
Alooks like a good option. But it should also have an icon in the circle menu:
Are you up for making an icon or would you like help with that part?
I need help with the icon. I'm open to changing it to Start+A (that's the bottom button, right?)
I don't have an xbox or nintendo controller :shrug:
Here is an image of a Switch controller
I'l work on an icon.
I had in mind a sword with a little box on top to make it clear it is about labels. Maybe there's a "..." in the box. Tho that seems hard to fit into the icon size. What you made looks to me like an alternative icon for identifying an item.
I don't have a strong opinion on the icon, though. I'm offering my opinion just as constructive feedback.
Oh, also thank you! For making the icon and looking at my PR so promptly.
Thinking on it again, my suggestion breaks immersion. Other game icons show something that could exist in the game world, like a map. Though, item labels are also kinda immersion breaking.
I made a draft of what I had in mind anyway, just in case it would help. I switched to an axe 'cause I think it is recognizable at a low resolution, and the name is short if we want to put the name in there.
Having text in icons isn't a good idea since they will look out of place in other languages and will lead to some confusion.
Icons also do require a bit of training but once the meaning is learned it quick to recall (why does a grail open the quest log). For now I think we can just tick with this icon and then they can be overhauled at later by some one with better UX/Graphics skills :)
