Wish we could get a better readable Captcha...

...like this one.

Je bessere es zu lesen ist... um so besser kann es auch automatisch ausgewertet werden

Ein Kompromiss wirds also immer bleiben!

You can customize the look and behaviour of the captcha function if you find and change the relevant files.

Just edit this file: include/inc_ext/SOLMETRA_FormValidator/SPAF_FormValidator.class.php

Looks nice, just what I was looking for.
So you changed this part:

Right?

Did you removed the backgrounds? By the way where can I found those images?
And than just edit the colors and shadow_color?

[Goran]

Try this configuration (don't forget to replace fonts names):

var $backgrounds = array('11.png', '12.png');
var $fonts = array('LUCON.TTF', 'GOTHIC.TTF');
var $font_sizes = array(28, 32, 36);
var $colors = array(
array(128, 128, 128),
array(139, 139, 139),
array(142, 142, 142),
array(146, 146, 146),
array(160, 160, 160)
);
var $shadow_color = array(255, 255, 255);
var $hide_shadow = false;
var $char_num = 5;
var $chars = array('A', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'H', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M',
'N', 'P', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'Y', 'W', '1', '2', '3', '4', '6',
'7', '9');

Also, copy following images to /phpwcms_template/inc_captcha/ directory:
