Reddit Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/aurora4x_mods/comments/jd7c67/mod_auroramod_112xfinal_custom_colors_fonts/
MediaFire Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6z23omkpmcrgknh/AuroraMod-1.12.0-0.zip/file

Current Features:
    - Customizable theme (icons, background colors, text colors, UI scale, font, and font size)
    - Window resizing
    - Save notification and auto-save
    - Shortcut keys (Economics and Fleet windows)
    - Customizable date formats and culture settings (comma vs period)
    - Game generation seed
    - Custom mineral display names
    - Configuration GUI

Installation:
    1) Extract in your Aurora 1.12.x folder
    2) Fire up AuroraMod.exe
    OR just use AuroraLoader

FAQ:
    Q: Do I have to start a new campaign to use this mod?
    A: No, you can freely switch back and forth between the mod and vanilla Aurora provided they have matching version numbers (ie: Aurora 1.11.x is compatible with AuroraMod 1.11.x-x).
    Q: This mod doesn't even do anything! Lame.
    A: Ensure you're starting Aurora with the provided exe (AuroraMod.exe) and you have enabled one or more features in the configuration window.
    Q: Why does the version have the world "final" in it?
    A: There will not be a AuroraMod 1.13.x. I will continue to add features and apply bug fixes to 1.12.x, but I will not upgrade AuroraMod to follow Steve's major releases anymore. It is becoming increasingly difficult and time consuming to keep up with the obfuscated code changes and I can no longer justify putting in that much effort on a game I rarely play.

Disclaimer:
By using this mod, you forfeit the option of submitting bugs on the forum. If you encounter a bug, please attempt to reproduce on vanilla Aurora (you can use the same DB), then report your findings here. We can discuss further actions from there.

Having just rejoined the Aurora 4x playing community I'm sad to see you stop working on it.  But, I feel like I need to express my gratitude to you for working on something that has and will continue to bring so many people joy.  I wish there was another way for me to express that gratitude to you in some way.  I wish you nothing but the best and may the stars welcome you into the cosmos in whichever way forward you go!

Is there any chance you could add some. open said NPR and manually delete ships, or force skip time by 5 days button?
for 1.11 and or/ 1.12  having constant 5second pulses is making C aurora terrible right now for me. I have tried most of the suggested things on the forum. None works. No im not willing to wait 2 hours of real time to have some 2 NPRs being 80 light years away to have their fight resolved properly, btw disabling detection does not work for me. So it could be also a bug, NPR being stucked in a loop etc.

I seem to be having a bug where all populations are listed as my home population on the population screen.  I've checked, and when I launch Aurora without the mod, things work fine.

I have the same bug, luckily you can get around it by selecting "By Function".

@twice2double I have joined this forum simply to thank you for this fantastic mod! This solved the ONLY problem I had when playing Aurora - unresizable Windows! Thank you so much!

I'm getting a weird bug where all colonies show with the name 'earth' in the F2 menu - any ideas?

Thanks :)

Edit for anyone else with this issue that got here from google: select 'star' or 'by function' and it fixes itself!

Awesome mod.
By the way, Aurora 1.13 is out, the mods needs to be updated since it doesn't work with the latest game version.

Unless a community mod version becomes possible 1.13 will not happen.

I think we need to pressure Steve to incorporate some of the features from the mod...  personally I really need the color part of this mod as I find Steve's original colors to be really bad for my eyes.

Same, it actually becomes painful for my eyes after one hour, for me atleast.

It'd be nice to be able to change colors to something more eye friendly for sure. Even just a config file with community supplied color templates.
