Scoreboard colors

Scoreboard Colors

Adds a small rectangle in a players color to the minimal view of the scoreboard. Hero colors can be looked up faster this way.

Implemented into the game

The bars are definitely useful, but the presentation doesn't seem very slick for an official add-on.

I think changing the colours of the level numbers (similar to the player names) would be an effective way to display the player colour while still keeping the UI as clean as possible

Off to the Hall of Fame you go. Good luck.

Grats

I'm glad you liked my suggestion.

However there is a cosmetic bug right now. For the color bars to fit in, I had to move the hero icons a bit to the right and forgot to move the death timer as well. Heres a fix to the problem:

Changing the level font color has actually been my first attempt, but the result was looking much worse than it does right now, trust me
