    Hello,

    Say, I want to change colors in menu (buttons, backgrounds, etc.)

    Can someone kindly point me to where should I start?


    I browsed some directories, looks like every menu screen is separate html file, does this mean I will have to modify all of them?

    Nevermind, I browsed some more and realized that making brighter menus is going to be too hard for me.

    It just so happens I was looking into how these are set up so I could replicate it for the PA Community Hub :)
    All you need to do is modify some pictures. Specifically, these:

    Menu Buttons (Quit Button)
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\btn_start_menu_bottom_active.png
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\btn_start_menu_bottom_hover.png (mouse over)
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\btn_start_menu_bottom_rest.png (normal)

    Menu Buttons (Remaining)
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\btn_start_menu_rect_active.png
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\btn_start_menu_rect_hover.png (mouse over)
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\btn_start_menu_rect_rest.png (normal)

    Menu Background
    media\ui\main\game\start\img\img_start_panel_black.png

    The menu background image is also in the img folder.

    If you want to make the text on the buttons appear differently, look in media\ui\main\game\start\start.css:
    .nav_item_text
    .nav_item_text_disabled
    .nav_sub_item (pop out menu items for single player)
    Plus the items between lines 128 - 149 (and 195 - 226 for the quit button)

    If you have more specifics about what you want to do, I'd be happy to help.

    Thanks,

    But if I want it to be a mod that does not modify original files, do I have to create js/css files and such ? Because that's what readme says.
