Hi all, this is the first release of the UI mod for Space Empires V that I've been working on for the past three weeks. Hopefully there are not many bugs there, but if you spot any, feel free to comment or message me. BlueSteel is a simple modification of the UI based on Raapys's DarkUI Mod. It changes the UI to a more uniform space, with black/grey and blue colors as predominant. It does not modify planet textures, ships, race styles etc. Please remember to back up all the interface folders mentioned in the readme.

BlueSteel 0.9

Ships Racial Traits
Main Menu Galaxy Setup

As of now, things that have been modified/added are:

  • New main UI texture
  • Changed all window pics
  • Revamped decorational items in misc windows
  • Main window buttons have been replaced
  • A couple of icons embedded to the UI windows (minister, atmosphere/planet type)replaced
  • Scrollers and checkers
  • HUD Planet/Base status icons
  • Smoothened column icons
