"Any shot the border around the hearts is alttp can change to blue and then red as mail upgrades are acquired? Some of the sprites in my opinion are hard to tell what mail your on without pausing. While this isn't necessary for casual play or even a player running, this would be a nice feature add for streams where the audience may want to know at a glance..."

Interesting idea. I'm not sure it's a good fit for a couple reasons. First, it's gonna look ugly. It just is. There's no way around it. Second is I don't find features for streamer viewers particularly compelling. That's what the tracker is for in my opinion. It's kinda the same as anything else that's in the menu but not in the HUD

My thought was a similar stance that we have on shadow obstruction. The runner/broadcaster accepts the risk of using a custom sprite, if it doesn't telegraph all expected data to the viewer.

Yeah that's my philosophy as well. I don't think this is a bad suggestion per se but in general, while streaming is a big part of the ecosystem, for me virtually no consideration goes into the stream viewing experience when it comes to changes and features. That is pretty much entirely between the streamer, the runner when applicable for eg, restreams, and the viewer.

Isn't this what trackers are for?

hearts already have green blue and red as color options, having a mode that switches from green->blue->red hearts based on mail would be a cool hud option

i dont see how the colorblind issue is a factor at all here, those are already options lol
