Hey all,
This will be a short post, but it has been almost two weeks since my last post and I want to keep the progress updates going.
I created color templates for the mod system. These templates allow you to change all of the UI colors without editing the UIs at all. As well as that I have attached these templates to the game's faction system, so each faction can have it's own color scheme. So the UIs for a UNION ship will use a different color palette than Centauri ships.
You can see an example of a colors template here: http://pastebin.com/FRALiJq4 (colours are written in hex format, similar to HTML)
Next up I am working on button animations for the UIs, to give a better "feel" to interacting with the screens.
Thanks for reading!

That's a neat idea!

Thanks. :D
I was having to copy and paste color values all over the UI XAML files. It was slowing me down, and changing colors was a real pain. I realised I needed a better solution, a central location for all color definitions. The idea for mod color templates and faction based colors came from that.

Hi all,
I am still working away on the UI animations, but it has been delayed by my day job which has a big release due early next week.
I expect to finish the new animations late next week, at which point I will post a video here showing them.
Thanks,
Mark
