Built for the pilots who actually use it.

FFB-Bridge is built for serious sim pilots, many of whom have been flying for decades. Visual contrast mode makes the app easier to read on older eyes, dim displays, and mixed cockpit lighting — without changing your force-feedback tuning.

FFB-Bridge Dashboard in high-contrast visual mode: brighter labels, clearer borders, labeled effect-group swatches FFB-Bridge Dashboard in high-contrast visual mode: brighter labels, clearer borders, labeled effect-group swatches
High contrast strengthens labels, borders, focus rings, and effect-group colors across the whole app.
Visual contrast

One setting, whole-app.

Settings → General → Visual contrast. The interface keeps the compact, technical layout a cockpit utility needs, but everything gets easier to scan. It applies immediately and works with Light, Dark, and System themes.

Stronger text Brighter dark-mode labels, darker light-mode labels, clearer secondary text.
Clearer structure Stronger card, row, and panel borders; more visible sidebar and page separation.
Visible focus & controls Stronger focus rings, button and status-pill borders, and checkbox outlines.
Labeled effect colors Dashboard effect groups use higher-contrast swatches with labels — never hue alone.
Who it's for

Real eyes, real cockpits

Aging eyes, cataracts and post-cataract vision, color-vision differences, dim rooms, glare, laptop panels and older displays — and anyone who just wants clearer separation when scanning quickly.

Not just color-blind mode

More than hue

It helps red/green and other color-vision differences, but it's deliberately broader: it's about readability for everyone, which is why it strengthens text, borders, and focus — not just colors.

It won't touch your tuning

Visual only

Visual contrast changes the app's palette and nothing else. Force output, profiles, effects, aircraft behavior, and device selection are all unchanged.

FFB-Bridge Settings → General with Visual contrast set to High contrast FFB-Bridge Settings → General with Visual contrast set to High contrast
Settings → General → Visual contrast: choose Standard or High contrast. It applies immediately and persists.
Questions

Visual contrast, answered.

Does Visual contrast change the force feedback?

No. It only changes the app's visual palette. Profiles, tuning, effects, and device output stay the same.

Is this only for color-blind users?

No. It helps color-vision differences, but it's also for cataracts, aging eyes, dim rooms, glare, older displays, and anyone who wants clearer UI separation.

Does it work in light and dark mode?

Yes. Visual contrast works with the app's Light, Dark, and System theme settings.

Does the Dashboard still use colors?

Yes — but color isn't the only cue. Effect groups also use labels, fixed ordering, larger swatches, and chip text.

Easier to read. Same forces.
