I know that the new background colours help some kind of colour blinds differentiate the colours easier, but I am also a colour blind (Deutan) and I can hardly tell the difference only if I look hard enough, even though I had no problem before.

I feel like it would be a lot better if there was a colour blind option that you could turn on and off.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm still open to tweaking these colors if needed. Just for the sake of comparison, these are the old and new colors with a Deuteranopia filter (old on left, new on right):

I was mainly focused on making the cursed color stick out a bit more from the inventory BG, but I can see that unknown and curse-IDed aren't much better than before.

It might be worth it to have the option to select different color schemes based on your type of colorblindness.

I would much rather adjust the colors further, or introduce shape differences, than add a toggle for this one exact case.

Shape differences would be ideal. I am not colour blind but I do play on mobile and sometimes lighting conditions can make it hard to tell the difference.

I think you’re exactly right. Having it be accessible by default is the best option!

Or cursed items can just get an icon in the bottom left or soemthing as well, like a little skull or something

Genius! if its unidentified maybe it could have a question mark, but I dont know if that'd make unidentified scrolls seem like identify scrolls-

A little skull is a perfect idea!

What I meant is that shape differences would be an option I would take before something like a colorblind toggle. Before shape differences, I want to see if I can just tweak the colors to work reasonably well for everyone. The inventory UI is already really cluttered and I'd like to try and avoid pushing that further if I can. The latest beta has some more color tweaks that I'm quite a bit more confident will work for people.

Please, add arabic language to v3.1.3 from shattered pixel dungeon that will be great

As a fellow colorblind person, I've always had trouble with these colors. Thank you for saying something about it!
