UI aesthetic suggestion

[Mattk50]

I noticed that since the mountains got their improved texture, and since the foliage and better ground textures, their more brownish dirt color has clashed with the greyscale UI a bit. The buildings have always been more brownish and dingy too, so perhaps the grey blandish UI could be made something more like the following mockup..

It is somewhat early to be considering UI aesthetics though...

well it would be possible to cange the themen of your gui or make your own
when you go in Kenshi\data\gui\MyGUI_Media
there is a file called core_theme_tag.xml
you can open that file with notepad++ and you just need to change the line
<Tag name="MyGUI_Theme_Texture">core_black_orange.png</Tag>
then you change "core_black_orange.png" to your own made one or you can select some of the other who are in the same folder

Somehting about that reddy/brown colour makes my skin itch. I see your point though, some sort of texture/colour instead of the flat grey might be more visually appealing. BUT, at the same time I think the grey seems to fit. I mean, even the forums are the same colour; its like the kenshi colour scheme.

Didn't know you could mod it so easily, i might try that out...

As for the itch inducing color, it was a fast mockup, i'm not a huge fan of the specific hue i picked either... The grey just feels so bland though, i think it would be more appealing to people trying out the demo and such if it looked better, and the more money chris gets the faster he can contract people for various kenshi features.

Edit(edited the edit): Maybe a blood colored UI would look good...Would def look more interesting than what it is now, im tempted to try to actually make one....


...and i've made two.

Blood1:

2nd try, it looks like a big improvement over the gray imo. I'll probably be using this one, anyone feel free to ask if you want the file(but its just a colorize function anyway).

Blood2:

This one is much darker and is far more brownish looking but still looks, well, like dried blood. This would probably be better for the base game when you consider some might not like the lighter red from the other one... *hint hint* chris.
