Steam FPS counter suddenly turned green
The frames-per-second counter that Steam displays in the corners of the screen used to be white until today, but now it suddenly turned green. I can’t find a way to change it back. How can I restore the original white color?

new update for more detailed stats, go to settings, in-game then you will see show performance monitor, select where you want it shown then you cant change the colours but can change the contrast and opacity and what you want it to display, then turn off and set a hotkey.

you can set it to just show fps or even more like ram, gpu, frametime etc etc.

So if you want it like before just activate it, select fps an which corner, Just gives people more options and good for troubleshooting or just checking usage in a game.

Thanks for your reply. But I just can't find the color setting, I have gone through the entire steam setting.

I thought it was the nVidia update or something, or that my game was having a bug. My god this looks stupid! Why did they decide to change something that worked for like 10 years and not giving the option to turn it back on?

No way to change it back? Damn that's stupid, rather turn it off.

No it's possible turn constrast/saturation all the way to the left.

Just turn text contrast/saturation all the way to the left and it should be white again.

Thanks a lot haha
Faced the same issue earlier and followed the advice in this thread to rectify it. Annoying steam developers!
This change ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. Let me go back to the discreet FPS counter. I don't want bright green. No one asked for this.

Actually a lot of people wanted full stats or control ability over more information visible, all they need to do is just add a text colour option and a digits only option and that should then keep everyone happy.
