Improve text readability
For two years I did not know that you can press r during spectating and unfollow player. I always disconnected and connected again. :)
Perhaps the screenshot is hard to understand. But chat is very difficult to read now. And the description under the minimap is not at all noticeable.
I think this will greatly increase usability:
- Increasing fonts (under dpi)
- Adding a background to the text. Now it seems a little bit, but this is not enough.
- Good background when h is pressed. But for some reason, the order of the text there is upside down, which is confusing. And also this key is not specified in the control settings.
- It is also worth adding information about additional actions (for example, r - unfollow) in the control settings menu
Good font rendering example:
Teeworlds game. Client from DDNet.
-
There is also a good chat implementation. Server messages, regular and in team chat are different in color.
-
Messages in which there is your nickname change color. Pale red in the screenshot.
-
When you press a special key or start writing a message, the chat unfolds. Second screenshot.
-
There is also auto-completion of nicknames on the tab. Shift-tab allows you to circulate in the opposite direction

- Increasing fonts (under dpi)
It's actually in the (abandoned) v0.2.0 branch (https://github.com/yvt/openspades/pull/838/commits/e0a93c801b27bb0062f93c2a8dcf07ff40da3efd) but hasn't been merged into master yet.
