Happy to help in anyway I can.
Hi,
I play ED in VR and I'd like to get the option to purchase some skins for dashboard. Or at least get the option to FIX the dashboard, I don't want to have it scratched and dirty forever. We are buying ship kits, colors, engine colors, name plates... regularly taking care of paint quality of the ship... and what we see in front of our eyes? ell DashboardW that sometimes looks like it was originally part of Apollo 11 and nobody fixed anything on it since then.
Guys, it is just bunch of textures... please... !!!
What your saying is you want textures for the dashboard?
That isn't going to happen, as much is I would like to see that myself... Frontier hasn't got the time in the world to redo the textures on the dashboard, hence why they descided to go with the items for the dashboard instead of the other.

However, there is already a website that can change the
GUI (Graphical User Interface) which in itself is the
skins dashboard colours (
UK spelling).
Here's the website that you need to change the colour of your GUI.
Link to it is below.

However, this is not stated forward, with a bit of code, also some try and error. What you need is to head to your
Frontier Development folder in the
AppData
folder you won't be able to see the folder at first. Go to your
users folder and then your
folder name (which is the named your PC), head to the
view tab on the file explorer and click on Hidden items. The
AppData folder will show up in the folder you're in and all you need to do is click on it.
Head to the
local folder and then you should see the
Frontier Development folder. Click on
Elite Dangerous folder and then click on
options folder. Click on
Graphics folder and you should see
GraphicsConfigurationOverride file this is the file that controls your
GUI Colours. I would strongly recommend you to make a backup. just copy and past the
GraphicsConfigurationOverride in the same folder, do not worry the folder will automatically change the file name to
GraphicsConfigurationOverride (1). Call this
GraphicsConfigurationOverride - backup. (Without the full-stop)
Al of the step is here if you need some visual help, just click on the images.

The code is provided on the site. Similar to
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is set to default, what those numbers are doing now is what you will see when you are on any ship.

Please, if you need any help let me know and I can do whatever I can to assist.
) or ship kits are visible just when you switch to camera mod. I know that this is like "look, this ships has been through things," but I'd rather spend some money to fix it. Why not to make it as game extras. Just like ship skins and bobble-heads.
