Changing Your HUD Colour

[Arreks]

Read this yesterday and tried out a nice green theme to go with my Razer set up, I remember asking for the ability to do this back in Beta 1!

To change HUD colour, first you'll need to find a file called GraphicsConfiguration.xml. It should be in the EDLaunch root directory, in the folder "Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1000".

 

Once found, open the file in a text editor like Notepad++. You're looking for the following section:

 

Standard

1, 0, 0

0, 1, 0

0, 0, 1

 

One more thing. We're editing a file the game uses to do stuff, so it's always a good idea to save an unaltered back up copy before you make any changes.

 

Once you've done that, though, it's time to go to town. By editing the values of MatrixRed, MatrixGreen and MatrixBlue, you'll change the HUD's colour. But which numbers to use? Anything between 0 and 1 is fine—0.5, for example, or 0.27. Go wild, and try things out. Or, use this tool, which lets you play with sliders to find the right look and then tells you the values to use.

 

Can't be bothered with sliders? Reddit user Megazen has some suggested styles, and pictures to go along with them.
