Hey guys. Here's a very simple UI update that does the following: Replace the default font with a smoother Sans Serif font. The font's freeware license is included in the zip. Darken the chat window's background. Increase the amount of time the chat window stays on-screen before fading, by quite a bit. Add new zoom levels to the option menu: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 1.75. I personally use 1.75, 0.5 is pretty laggy but it works great for screen shots. Here's a link to the mod on my Dropbox account: [CLICK HERE] Here's an in-game screenshot of the font and chat box change. Unfortunately, the chatbox is over a dark area of the planet so you can't really tell. I'll try to get a better shot after work today.
You just have to keep refreshing/clicking the link until it works. I'll see about putting it on my Dropbox later today.
OK, here's my dropbox link. [CLICK HERE] I don't suppose this mod is popular enough to get Dropbox mad at me.
Thanks! This is wonderful. You should consider uploading this on the Starbound Nexus for more people to see. My only complaint is that the chatbox's background is really dark, but that is simply fixed by removing chatpane.png.
I've updated the zip in my Dropbox share. If you'd like to avoid downloading the entire mod, just edit SmoothUI.modinfo and change the version string to "Beta v. Angry Koala".
