Strongly agreed. 🌈 XM is very easy to see in the Prime Scanner and would be a welcomed change, even if it was only intended to be a temporary change for Pride month.
@NianticScot Is there any possibility we could keep it? Lots of discussion ongoing that it also fits the lore with the Nemesis sequence as media items out of Abaddon prime Anomalies and several other items also share a rainbow theme.
Although I'll be blunt. I just really don't want this to change, it's been such a huge quality of life change for XM visibility.
I remember when they switched from single color (blue or green depending on portal owner faction) connection lines between the portal center and the resonators to colors based on the resonator level a few years ago. Everyone was like "I can't play it anymore! There's too much color! It's impossible to play like this! It's impossible to recognize anything like this!!" 😎😁😈
The rainbow in far better than the dark blueish from before, but still not perfect. I would say something between the resonators color, without green or blue, going from red-yellow-purple.
Thanks for all of the feedback. We didn't intend for this to be permanent (ha!) and I know the team is still working on a few additional modifications to XM and map readability--those will likely (hopefully) improve view-ability for "normal" XM and "rainbow" XM. Overall, we'd like to have a system that can accommodate a variety of options well. The team will discuss and we may iterate on a few options for your further review.

Welcoming additional support on my own raving lunatic post on this matter. https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/1804/pride-xm-best-xm-i-can-see-the-xm-and-it-is-beautiful#latest
I second this, please let us keep it @NianticScot
I agree with this 1000%. I'm gonna tag @RedSoloCup too so they can see this input.

It's like sprinkles on a dark chocolate cake. I love it.
I guess they can leave it be or change the bg color and the old XM should be visible...
I thought it was part of new update to help us see in daylight haha but yeah its great would be nice to have a option to keep it.
Maybe in the future, keep XM visible as blue for Resistance and green for Enlightened?
