- Arkku for the online config editor
- CMDR SpyTec / EDassets.org for the reproduction mission icons used in the header graphics
- Obsidian Ant for the mention in 3302
- The site I borrowed the colour name chart from (found via Google Image Search)
- (For completeness) the page I borrowed the original orange (fruit) image from (found via Google Image Search)
- Fontalicious for the typeface used in the header graphics (Alba Matter)
* Please include the 3 colour matrix lines from your GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml file and a screenshot or note confirming that the config works nicely with the NPC pictures on the Mission Board! If you didn't create the config yourself, please include the original author's name! *
- In the interest of covering the widest possible range, configs that retain image detail, but completely the tint the image the same as the HUD colour are acceptable
- Orange is also acceptable (as long as it's modified in some way from the default)
- Crucially, we're trying to avoid moderate-to-excessive colour-banding/clipping/loss of detail, while preserving as many of the original hues as possible
