0002575: Depot access screen flashing red/green can cause seizures
A forum poster on the Suggestions forum complained that the Depot Access screen has been close to bringing them to seizures. Apparently the choice of colors (red/green), the speed of flashing, and the flashing are all things that make this problem worse.

So, raw files which allowed us to change the colors of flashing or the speed of flashing would probably be enough, or an option which just disabled flashing, or using alpha transparency to just put faint green and red over the areas.
No tags attached.

I feel a little bad about doing this because seizures are no joke, but this definitely isn't a bug. There are some workarounds that I'll post in that Suggestions thread shortly.
