    Hey guys, just wanted to share a small bit of work. I'm also working on some intro screen stuff too (login screen).

    I had started using with a gray but it melds a bit too much with the icons in their current state.

    Open to feedback, or ideas of course!

    Cheers

    Sexy, very PA. Could you do this with teamcolor?

    It's baked into the graphics for now and it'd be tricky to mirror the main color just because the glow could turn really ugly really fast X)!

    I'll keep that in mind though and look at what's possible! Thanks!

    This is a really, really good look :)

    As for the team color suggestion, you'd need to see if there's a UI shader (similar to how the strategic icons are done) in order to do it.

    UPDATE

    So the build bar now has a different highlight that brings more attention to what you're hovering over.

    Debating on altering other elements--Obviously the info-panels that popup on highlight haven't been messed with :p

    Using the main color of a team seems like a tall order, the original UI is basically an over(under)lay that was adapted- I'll keep working on this and try to think out some solutions!

    Cheers

    Yeah here you go --I'm still working on some updates but when those are ready I'll post it up on here again :)

    You want to extract this folder/merge it with the UI folder in the following location:

    Planetary Annihilation > PA > Media

    Copy over old files during the merge and it should be good to go!

    Forgot to mention it looks really good and in keeping with PA's style. Although I would usually keep videos to a vanilla style I'm really tempted to use this by default ^^

    Again, great job.

    Re: UI Game Skin

    Here's where I'm at with the main menu-- There's another mod on this thread which is utilizing the three.js to essentially view 3d models which is awesome...

    I'd love to be able to do something subtle animation-wise but let me know what you guys think of this so far!

    The Alpha button doesn't do anything for me upon clicking now so this suits my wants and needs as someone who boots the game up pretty often :)

    I really want your mod but out of the two I prefer having Economy UI Mod v2. if you could fuse that mod into yours I'd be very happy.

    Bump. Are you still working on this and does it support the most recent patch version?

    Yes, I'd really like to try this but a new build came out today. Not sure what the prospect is of it working flawlessly.
