"This is the installation folder of the game, something like: ...\WinSPWW2 or ...\Steel Panthers World At War"
Hi Larry2017,

Again, thanks for your feedback.

Meanwhile work has started on improving this:

Done:
  • The item name has changed from "Path:" to "Installation:"
  • The note now explicitly mentions "installation folder"

I agree with your suggestion to remove references to "game config".

Busy:
  • Highlight individual items in red, instead of the whole game config box
  • In the note of an item, include an explanation for why an item is highlighted in red

Regarding your suggestion for preseeding each field with its note in a background color, I will keep that on hold for now.

Erik
