Separate colors for each planet's orbit

Please describe a real use case of separate colors of orbits for different objects in Solar system. I can see possibility usage separate colors for different classes of objects for the educational tasks.

Well I suppose it is usable as is but some orbits of inner two planets are completely visible while outer planets show just a segment of their orbits. With them all presently red they all blend together and without zooming in or selecting a specific orbit it all runs together. Assigning separate colors would help isolate which planet orbit you are trying to locate and would make it a bit easier to find a specific planet to determine if/when it might be visible during a night observing session. I will add that SkySafari software has this feature and it does help slightly.

I've added separate colors for planets (+ moons), asteroids and comets. Will be available for testing in next beta.

Great! I will love to see this in new version. Stellarium keeps getting better all the time. Hope others like it as well..........

Thanks Again
Robert

Just wondering as I am running 0.90.0.8761 version of Stellarium and do not yet see a way to change planet orbit colors, It likely has not been incorporated but just wanted to check incase i am missing something..

Thanks
Robert

Sorry for late answer.

Please define the follow variables in color section of config.ini file: asteroid_orbits_color, comet_orbits_color, sso_orbits_color and planet_orbits_color.

Alexander - I think you have misunderstood, I was asking if the wishlist item to be able to setup/select different colors for each planet orbit had been implemented? I do not wish to change all planets orbit colors as a group, I wish to set each planet separately to its own color. I don't think that has been included yet as I do not see a way to do that but I have been wrong in the past so just asking.

Thanks
Robert

Alexander - Tried this fix out and seems to work pretty nice so far. I did notice a glitch though in that when zooming in and out some planet paths disappear. Mars was doing this yesterday. I do not think it is related to the colors. It may be a setting on my part but has done this for a while if I remember correctly - it may be a previously reported bugg as well.... The different colors though seem to work great.

Thanks
