ICONS need COLOR. Ore icons, Components icons , Ammunition icons. Give them some color!
Declined
I am requesting this because many of the icons look too similar to each other when they are all blue-ish.
I now have over 1700+ hours in SE, but I still find myself not recognizing icons immediately when looking in inventories. SE is the only game I know that has inventory icons wich makes it harder to find the right item. It's not helping new players or oldtimers like me keeping it all blue-ish.
If ores. components, tools and ammunition had some color, it'd be a lot easier to sort them out in the inventory.
Icons could be faster recognizable without the text describing the item.
Adding the right color is a tested and working solution. Simple mods do it, but it could be adressed for everyone permanently.
What is the "right" color? what is the right color for someone who is colorblind to certain wavelengths? There is a reason everything, not just game UIs are using the Metro monochrome styling methods.......

it is better to be able to choose the color yourself

Metro color was getting to me pretty bad a few years ago... had to install a mod to revert colors back to what they used to be. So glad I did.
I respect the need for that horrible schema IF your color blind but, DO NOT F'N FORCE IT ON EVERYONE!

Well ... That means we should use the colorful icon mods. They work relatively smoothly. For a while.
Bem ... Isso significa que devemos usar os mods de ícones coloridos. Eles trabalham de forma relativamente suave. Por um tempo.

I think that a solution to satisfy all tastes and wishes would be to make the game UI scriptable and provide API to it.
Therefore if someone is that motivated to have its own environment can fully customize it thru scripts: position scaling, fonts, transparency whatever. I think that Blender has or has had scriptable UI elements, not regular GUI controls of the operating system but rendered by its engine.
It adds a new playfield for skinning / UI modding, too.
Making GUI less static could help OLED tv-s too, in the future. Today most games have static GUI layout making them a threat from OLED burn-in standpoint.

This should be an optional feature if implemented. For the people who may like it the way it is now.

Keen wants things to look cinematic, but fail to see the values of contrast.

And once again I'd have to suggest it being an OPTION. I'd keep the blue interface, I'd try color, other people would split as well. Changing something that we're used to is always a "Heaven vs Hell" battle.

I asked for this in a live stream and Xoc said it's easier for them to do it with a UI toggle button in options and he was like "hmmm" face. Also said it's possible but they need to talk about it with the designers.

The menus are all quite "dull" I assume a slider to nudge the overlay opacity could at the same time nudge up the color "bling" to tend toward a high contrast (pastel) pallete when the overlay opacity slider maxes out?

There is a mod that can make the items colorful.

To avoid being an issue for players who don't want this, maybe have it as something that can be turned on/off by the player in graphics UI settings? That way players who want it and players who don't can both get their wish.
