Steve had said that it will come - question is just, when.
At the moment his task is squishing bugs.  And he does a real MiB here.  Impressive.  UI and eye strain will hopefully be next so we can run real long term campaigns 😁.


+1 to this thread, and thank you for this info !

Legends say there's a night mode mod for aurora C on reddit. Be aware, Steve does not endorse it (he seems pretty pissed :  http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10775.0).

At the moment that particular post has been banned from the subreddit once the moderator found out.

Not to sound ungrateful to Steve for everything he's done, but the color scheme makes the game borderline unplayable for me, and the fix is literally a single line of code. I just really hope he just puts this fix in soon.

I personally find the window coloring in Quasar4x realy nice . . .  looked at it and was impressed :).  Maybe this would be also nice for Aurora?
Quasar's colour scheme is amazing. Even though the user interface looks at first glance to me exactly the same as the old aurora had, maybe I'm biased by nostalgia for the good old interface. But check this out.
Off-Topic: show


I really miss the other UI features, separation of elements, lines, boxes, etc. But the Unpolished interface needs to take a backseat to mechanical bugfixes .

The scheme is quite nice though a bit grey. I do miss the input boxes as I've multiple times not realized I can edit a value. I kind of like that row lines are gone but that's just me

For me the colorsheme itself is mostly fine though a bit unusual.  But I wish the text would be just one size bigger.  I constantly find myself leaning forward as at my usual distance the writing blurs together to much for comfortable reading.

Having a variation of Solarized would be awesome.

After some more testing, I would have to confirm that one more color theme is the "most wanted" suggested feature for me.

I don't want to sound pushy or anything, it's just that my eyes are pretty bad and the blue is really hard on them, so I can't really play C#aurora for long periods of time.
I rather hope Steve makes it a priority once he moves from bug reports to implementing new things ;D

I thought I was the only one.  Maybe with (much) more time spent playing this will go away but for now I usually take number at their face value without even thinking I can actually edit them.  Which is further complicated when some of them actually are NOT editable and it is impossible to tell them apart.

I must agree the colour scheme changed to something like Quasar or the text size significantly increased for comfort in reading would be magical. Having said that I am sure I will grow to love C# Aurora as soon as I get a game running for more than a couple of hours before the next update! :D :D

But don't stop Steve!

Kind of reminds me of zenburn a little bit.  Would love an option to change the colors, but I know its not high on Steve's priority list.

I'm locking this because I think Steve is aware that a lot of people want to be able to change the colors/fonts in Aurora.
