Created For Anomaly Mod 1.5.
seems the inventory icons got a bit washed out in between vanilla game and this mod playing on my pc. i was having a hard time making them out, so i doctored them up a LOT to give contrast. also lightened the frame and background. it helps but not necessary.
the icons work much better for me now so i thought id share my retouch.
and i know they are very saturated. not much i could do without spending all day screwing with it.
i included the .xcf project file for an app called GIMP(kind of a very simplified photoshop). you need the DDS addon for gimp to be able to export it as dds. and if you didnt know, you have to group/merge project before export as .dds. i dont know how it will work on another pc though. you may have to point Gimp to the original "ui_actor_menu.dds" or the one i uploaded here.
i didnt plan on uploading this project file or i would have made sure it was the original from the start.. oh well. let me know in comments if you got it working. there should be 2 layers. one original frame and one background color.
maybe it was my pc, but the inventory icons in this mod were very "washed out" colors. maybe it was an accident or intentional. all i know its they look a lot better for me now. much easier to see and find what im looking for.
EDIT:
someone actually gave this retouch a 0 rating. gotta love gamers. try to help out and some still will just poop on ya. if you dont like it that much, its not for you or maybe leave feed back and i/we can make it better. i told in the description it was a rush job that fulfills its purpose for me and im sure some other people.
i only leave this comment because its discouraging. makes me not wanna upload any personal tweaks i do. cheers to anyone who finds this addon useful :)
Good mod idea.
Sometimes it kinda looks like the items were desaturated on purpose. I think it was like that since Misery, but don't quote me on that.
i took out a bit of the yellow today. can barely tell.
i can upload it later if people want.
i can also upload the menu .xcf file for Gimp if ppl want to mess around with the frame and background colors.
Yes, please upload both!
ok it did it twice so the new zip should be #3. my first mod re-opload. should contain 5 folders now.
Thank you!

Good job, I'll use this in my playthrough. Cheers. :)
Any plans to update this to 3.0?
can but in the package are details to diy. when im done traveling ill look in to it. i didnt know there would be a different file. actually didnt know there was a 3.0.
sorry for now :)
edit:
did you try it in "3.0" and had problems? what were they?
Beta 3.0 has a completely different texture file for the icons. If you can tell me how you did this I can make a new version for 3.0
when i get a little time ill check it out. look at the read me. it gives the app i used and a little more info. if youve retouched before, maybe you can figure it out. sorry for now :)
can u port this into 1.5.1?
