John Guevara · May 23, 2018

Dear Fdev,

please remove GUI-colorization from Outfitting panel, the icons has false-colors, e.g. "Red Weapon color" show as green color! i need to click every icon, to see the real result on my ship.

Paintjobs:

Weapons Detailing #1:

Weapons Detailing #2:

Engine Detailing #1:

Engine Detailing #2:

Engine Detailing #3:

my HUD color theme Settings:

Code:

<GraphicsConfig>
    <GUIColour>
        <Default>
            <MatrixRed> 0.39, 0.47, 0.21 </MatrixRed>
            <MatrixGreen> 0.08, 0.14, 1 </MatrixGreen>
            <MatrixBlue> 1, -0.03, -1 </MatrixBlue>
        </Default>
    </GUIColour>
</GraphicsConfig>

My colours are fine in outfitting, could it be because i haven't hacked the software?

My suspicion is that this will be fixed when they add an in-game method of changing the HUD/GUI colors.

You hit the nail on the head.
The current method of changing HUD colours is not officially supported. This method was only given to us as a temporary way to change the HUD colours, and of course FDev will most likely not waste time on a suggestion like op's.

They have said they would eventually like to implement an in-game customizable HUD. But apparently this is not as easy as it might seem.
I don't think HUD customization is a big priority at the moment, but I hope FDev will surprise us someday.
