Hello,
Searched everywhere and didn't find anything useful. Please help.
Also posted this on Battle.net+ Show Spoiler +
http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1549392203#1


In SC:BW you could switch the team colors in 3 ways:
  1. the map and minimap displays real colors
  2. the map displays real colors AND green for you, yellow for allies and red for enemy on minimap
  3. green for you, yellow for allies and red for enemy on both map and minimap

BTW: there is no yellow color in BBCode, sorry !

In SC2 there is no option 2).
I hate seeing all green vs red on map, but i like this setting on minimap. I see red spots better on minimap when opponent does a drop, etc. On ladder I play better when i'm blue(vs. red). Don't think anyone believes me, but it's true.

Question is :
Any1 know how to make a setting in which map units display their true colors and minimap units display red for enemy, green for own units ?

EDIT: if the option exists and i missed it, I'm an idiot. If not they should implement this change SCBW shift-tab style.
EDIT: The full text is :

Do you think Blizzard should implement option 2 somewhere in the near future ?

I believe this option is right next to the minimap when you are in a game. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

well, when i press it it makes BOTH my minimap and my map green/red and then back to normal mode for both minimap and map
I want normal map and red/green minimap

short : BW had 3 states, SC2 only has 2

What I'd like to see is another color option where in team games it gives everyone a fixed color so not all enemies are red. Eg. me green, ally yellow, enemy1 red, enemy2 orange, etc. It matters sometimes to know who is who especially when they are the same race and difficult to distinguish otherwise. I also get confused easily with random colors so I prefer to use locked colors.

I'd enjoy a setting where you can set "How YOU See" your opponent, that fro example in all 1v1 ladder games you can define the colour that you see our opponent's units in. That doesn't make their units that colour, it's just that you see them that way.

It would be nice to see this option in replays as well. Very strange to play a game in green/red then have to rewatch it in blue/red.

i don't mind seeing units the way they are
I just like to see green/red units on minimap
i spot red dots on minimap easier

imagine a 3base vs 3base game, you see a red spot on minimap easier if everything you have is green
now if you are red and everything is red on minimap i find spotting a blue dot on minimap very hard
the solution is seeing everything you have green and everything your opponent has red
but right now this sucks, since i hate green and i'd like to see units as they are , just minimap wiew should be different, just like in BW, where you shift-tab between the 3 states

Voted 2. I like seeing my opponent red on the minimap, but I really don't like playing with this awful green. So I play with "option 1", and get sometimes owned when my opponent is blue xd.

i will come back later with a video to explain this.
for people who don't understand .... FOR THE LAST TIME :

In BroodWar :
shift+tab switches between 3 states of team colors:
1. all team colors as they are on both map and minimap
2. all team colors as they are on map and green/red on minimap
3. all team colors green/red on both map and minimap

In StarCraft2 :
alt+f(default key bindings) switches between 2 states of team colors:
1. all team colors as they are on both map and minimap
2. green for you red for enemy on both map and minimap

There is no option in SC2 to have normal colors on map and green/red colors on minimap, similar to option 2 from BroodWar. Please, future comments don't say things like "There is the alt+f button"
I already explained alt+f does not do what shift+tab did in BW.

Why are people voting "No" for option 2? lol. It was in BW as well, and it was my favorite of the 3 color options. I really wish it was in SC2 as well.

I guess Blizzard had something in mind when they introduced this option, as well as the fact that it makes perfect sense. I really seen some progamers use this (though most use the teal/red settings).
This was my favourite option in SC:BW also and i don't understand why people choose not to have more options, instead of having less. I also don't understand why something perfectly viable in SCBW is not viable here. It's not like it affects the gameplay or anything.

Please Blizzard, make this one available in 1.2.1 !!! Pretty please !!
