Concerning Darnified UI:
Concerning the DUINVSettings.xml... I'm just tweaking my hud a little but the red color, when in battle or combat, makes the meter and text too dark and hampers my alterations. I have a colored translucent tick image. I use warning colors in meters, changed the percentages for warning and alert, changed the color values. It looks pretty cool but the deep red tint ruins it. I'm not a programmer but can get by somewhat with some things. I've looked through the prefabs\darn files but I just don't know. If you know what I'm talking about can anyone help?

Well...what is it exactly you want to change? (A screenshot would be really helpful.)

thank you for your reply. Something has changed now. I switched this value:
<!-- The colors for gfx and text can be configured separately. Used if _HUDOverrideColor = 1 -->
I had it set to 1 before, now 0
The rest I set to:
<_HUDRed> 200 <!-- HUD Gfx Color 120 -->
<_HUDGreen> 240
<_HUDBlue> 255

<_HUDTxtRed> 200 <!-- [197] HUD Text Color -->
<_HUDTxtGreen> 245 <!-- [255] -->
<_HUDTxtBlue> 255 <!-- [255]

<!-- These colors are used as warning/alert colors for the meters when _HUDDynamicColors = 1 -->
<_HUDWarnRed> 255 <!-- [190] Warning, red component -->
<_HUDWarnGreen> 200 <!-- [140] Warning, green component -->
<_HUDWarnBlue> 27 <!-- [0] Warning, blue component -->

<_HUDAlertRed> 255 <!-- [200] Alert, red component -->
<_HUDAlertGreen> 20 <!-- [10] Alert, green component -->
<_HUDAlertBlue> 50 <!-- [0] Alert, blue component -->

Before, the bar meter was all red even when enemy health was high. Now there is the color of the tick graphic plus the warning color. I'll just have to play with it to get something better, but now it's not all red. I'll attach screenshots for you to see. I'd still like the red text the system color.

damn! I don't see how to attach files here. I spent some time making the screenshots you wanted.

This board doesn't allow attachment and uploading of image files. You'll need to set up an account at a photo hosting site (e.g. Photobucket, TinyPic, Image Shack, etc.), upload your screens there and link to them here.

took me a while but I posted some newer captures. I'm still diddling with the xml and now the graphic is all red again even with enemy health high.
