[Daeridanii]

Hello forumgoers.
Introducing: White - Lime! A HUD color sharp enough to cut through military composite!

Friendlies are MAGENTA.
Neutrals are PALE ROSE.
Enemies are WHITE. (Kind of hard to see, I understand.)

Images are below.

EDIT: In my haste, I appear to have neglected to put the important bit:

<MatrixRed> 1, 1, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 1, 0, 1 </MatrixGreen>

Happy hunting, Commanders.

This all looks great!

I downloaded ED Profiler and installed a theme that had great looking avatars in your screenshots...

After loading Elite, the UI looked exactly like your screen shots, but the portraits looked nothing like it, faces are just a blue/blue wash...

I've compared and verified the numbers and it should match, but it doesn't...

Code:

Corn Flower Blue / Orange
"Orange Slate" Contributed by J.Dee (3302-10-02)

Friendlies: Green Yellow
Hostiles: Corn Flower Blue

Notes:

<MatrixRed> 0.25, 0.43, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0.83, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>

On your screenshot below, its perfectly great...

What would the color config for Tyrian Purple be? (#66023C)

 

[samuelb]

I like this one, simple but easy on the eyes.

Not that easy to simply apply a color code, sadly but you can try to get what you want here : http://arkku.com/elite/hud_editor/ Or with EDProfiler and its GUI editor

Preemptive 3.0 bump in hopes to spare as many people as possible from the horrors of the original HUD.

It's how I lost my eye ya know...

Actually most of these other ones are way worse than the default

Very nice huds. Too bad that Frontier didn't make actual ingame setting for HUD colors after several years

 

[vinvcm]

Cheers mate !
Just what I was trying to achieve.
I found the original orange glow was hard to read, and was trying to tone down that bright glow.
Works well for me.

Purple with Green Accents - Twilight Matrix

Since the release of the iridescent paint jobs (specifically Iridescent Twilight) I've been experimenting with some colors and came up with this one, called it Twilight Matrix
<MatrixRed> 0.20, 0, 0.70 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0.40, 0.50, 0.40 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 1, 0.25 </MatrixBlue>
Don't have any in-combat pictures as of right now because it was late and had to work the day after.

Green/Silver(ish) HUD

[Kokuyouseki]

Or just get them to add customization for the hud. Where I can recolor certain things without recoloring everything else?
I like enemies red, allies blue and friendlies green. But that means I can barely touch the colors.

Considering how much stuff they are adding, this should be pretty easy compared to the rest.

Let's organize a protest! We shall hire 3 thousand schoolgirls to block the entryway to their headquarters! Or station! Or wherever they work!

 

[Sylveria]

Frontier just needs to recode the UI so we don't have to make INI edits in order to bypass the default ugly orange colored HUD.

INI edits even recolor portraits and everything else... no more excuses to why it "can't" be done. How about some solutions to how it CAN be done?

Oh but "X" is more important to focus on!!! Nope. Everyone sees the UI as bright orange in the game by default- it's THE most important thing at this point over 5+ years later.

The Codex has thrown a spanner in the works - especially the Discovery content.
