What the mod contains:
-Retexture of the menus and the interface in order to remove the blue, make it less aggressive on the eyes and add some transparency effects while remaining close to the vanilla interface. The blue has been replaced by a softer bronze color. The new colors should also make visibility easier for colorblind people.
-Change of the colors of the logic blocks which were blue and orange to green and red which is more coherent and readable. Red for Off, green for ON.
-Change of the color of the laser beams from blue like the cannons (Schine loves blue...) to red which is once again more consistent and gives more design choices to players who don't like blue. This also makes it easier to differentiate them.
-The color of the front of the guns (which was once again blue...) has been removed which avoids having to hide them. They are now all monochrome and therefore facilitates the design of ships.
-Change of color of LCD screens (display module) which were blue (again...) to a dark monochrome shade like a real screen because many did not use them because of this cursed blue.
-Retexture of the core of the ships in the Hall9000 style because I was tired of seeing them in blue...
-Modification of certain blocks to make them less blue. (I should have called it the "less blue" pack...)
-Changed the colors of the block icons so that they match the new colors.
That's it for the basic principles. Then the mods add 3 different texture packs but which are all based on vanilla textures. These are colorimetry, paralax and contrast modifications mainly all in resolution 256 (does not work in lower resolution).
01- The first one which is the default one is just the default textures of the game but with the modifications that I mentioned above. Other than that, these are the standard textures of the game.
02-The second (recommended) has a reworked parralax and transforms the original textures to give them a "Cel Shading" style a bit like on Borderland and remove the blur effect from the original textures. The textures have more depth and are prettier without distorting the game.
!!! The rendering in game is prettier than in the example !!!
03-Finally the last one which gives a hand-drawn effect to the original textures. I did it quickly so it's not perfect but they give a certain originality to the game.
To change textures in game, you must go to the graphics menu and select the desired texture in the menu at the top. By default you will have the modified standard textures (01), it replaces the original one. To use another one, you must change it in the menu.
For installation, nothing could be simpler. Simply extract the archive and copy the files to the root of your game. If you are asked to replace, answer yes.

#Update 01 : Removed the blue halo from the thruster texture and modified it so that the design is more consistent. The new texture is darker and monochrome because the old ones were blue even if you changed the color of the beam using a colored lamp. This will make it easier to design the ships regardless of their colors.
!!! Edit: The last update on October 16, 2023 reset the default textures for no good reason. I checked, the textures are exactly the same as before the update so if you did the update and want to use the mod, you will have to copy the mod files into the game and overwrite again the originals. The mod is therefore always up to date.
