Make quality flair of container not be in same corner as item in container

Post by beltiras »

It bugs me a bit that items in containers that are better than common sometimes get their quality flair overwritten by the container it's in. This happens most specifically any time the container is uncommon or better and you have 3 different item types in the container. Attaching screenshot for illustration. The size of the flairs are even the same so it can fool you in some cases as it's hard to discern if the items are in common containers or the items inside have quality.

Yes it's annoying, but how would you change it? The quality indicators have other inconvenient interactions as well, such as when you have multiple items placed closely - it can sometimes be difficult to parse which item the quality icon is attached to.

But I don't know how you fix this, because you have to show them somewhere - or else disable them entirely.

One idea would be to add a tint to quality items and allow the option to remove the icon, but this wouldn't be perfect either because it would have to be somewhat subtle. Another option would be to change the "shadow" around icons (or add a border) with the colour of the quality.
