Description: This modification changes the look of the original SE V UI to a darker style.

Installation:

1. ( Optional ) Backup the "UI" folder inside ...\SpaceEmpiresV\Pictures
2. Move the DarkUIMod.rar archive to your main SE V folder and extract it, answer yes to overwrite files if prompted.
3. Play the game with any mods.

Repeat step 2 and 3 with any mod update archives.

Game patches will override some UI elements, so you should reinstall the mod after installing an update.

Uninstall: Just restore the UI folder. You'll have to do a complete reinstall if you didn't back it up.

The download is 24'ish MB.

Re: Dark UI Mod
 

Have you considered making the UI more transparent as well?

Re: Dark UI Mod
 

It's certainly possible. I'm not sure where I'd use it, though. Got any examples of where you think it'd be fitting?

Re: Dark UI Mod
 

Any plans to reduce the "bubbliness" of the buttons? Such would go along with the darker theme, I think.

Re: Dark UI Mod
 

Yeah, I'm trying to come up with something 'flatter'. Working on the small blue ones for now, not sure if I should do something about the larger buttons yet( i.e. "Close" and the likes ).

Re: Dark UI Mod
 

What % of the UI files are included? I was curious to see how big an UI mod would be...

Re: Dark UI Mod
 

130 of 180'ish MB total. They compress pretty well, so probably around 30mb for the entire thing.

Hi there,

This looks great, but I am having a problem. I'm running an existing game with v1.20 and Balance Mod 1.02.

I installed the Dark UI 1.03 and the 1.04 update. The main screen looks fine, but when I browse my Ships List, I get a CTD with a 'stream error'. Reverting my Pictures\UI folder removes the problem once again. Has anyone else seen this?

I hope I can get to the bottom of it - this UI is a great improvement!
