Newcomer / Intro Colour my world!

[Oliversutton]

Hi Commanders
I have seen some youtube videos from commanders and they have different colour schemes for their cockpit huds
I looked in Livery but didn't see it!

Anyone know the technique or method please?

Release - Elite Dangerous HUD Mod (EDHM)

Hi CMDRs, As you know, Elite has a default orange HUD. Over the years, CMDRs found a way to alter their HUD via an XML modification. However, the XML method has widespread unintended effects on many other important elements, such as the colour of friends/foes on the radar, and pilot portraits...

Oh Wow, that's just perfect.

Thank you so much "the100thmonkey"

No worries - EDHM is, for me, a totally indispensable QoL app for Elite. It makes my day better if I can make your game better!

In the post linked by @the100thmonkey there is a link to the EDHM-UI which is how I use this wonderful tool.

I will warn you that every time FDev release a game update some part of your new colour scheme is likely to be broken, don’t change anything the excellent people behind the tool and the interface usually have things fixed in next to no time and your settings will work again.

I was quite shocked at how different my cockpit and HUD looked when it reverted to orange.
