That rainbow brood looks really shit in the screenshot... but it actually looks magnificent in-game. I never thought I'd ever use a rainbow theme for anything.... ever.

Updated links for both Zerg and Terran skins. In "Download" section you can download programm and it has 2 skins inside a "Skins" folder

It's just for one, who prefer some different style

Can someone pm me the mpq.dds file that will change the in game ui directly. Please inform me also if it doesn't exist and I am unintentionally trolling.

Liberty.sc2mod/base.sc2assets contains texture files

And you're adding new files into enGB.sc2assets in same filder, overriding files from base.sc2assets (I mean those new files don't replaces original ones, just game reads files, that are loaded lastly. ANd it loads enGb.sc2assets after base.sc2assets)

Hmm I will look this up thanks for pointing me in the right direction you sir are awesome.

Edit: I can not upvote you

Edit #3: (Deleted #2) I have decided that changing the ui directly in the mpq file without the use of an overlay is a bad idea. Project aborted (Other reasoning if needed. I have looked in a lot of files to try and find which one is exactly is the ui. There is none that solely make up the entire thing just a bunch of parts. Also there are literally 0 tutorials on how to do exactly what I want done. So resulting conclusion; I am getting an overlay -.-)

The best solution for 1.5.0 is to install that custom zerg ui (that is reskinned original, not BW one), screenshot it and make as overlay and use via ui changer

Want to clarify, that this program and overlay skins are still work with patch 1.5.0, because they are only picture over all windows, so if your SC2 is in fullscreen-windowed mode (when you can see launch taskbar and sc2-game at background at same time, without minimizing it), you will be able to use different overlay skins for your interface.

First post was updated with program and terran skins in same archive. Redownload it to get latest terran and zerg skins

Latest new zerg overlay was a request from one streamer, I did personal overlay (with some recolor and nickname) and this standart one, that is available at post above and in 1st post.

I will probably not make protoss overlay, because sc1bw UI is impossible to enlarge to sc2 big resolutions (in result it becomes worse quality), and current sc2 protoss borders are same (I mean top left corner of window, top right, bottom left and right), so it's hard to create something unique and without alltime repititive elements of graphic interface.

P.S. And I don't draw new interfaces, I've just composing old materials, and regarding Protoss, there are not much materials.

SC2 UI Changer 0.2 Beta

- Now it supports windowed mode (that is not fullscreen).
- Changed default hotkey of activation/deactivation from CTRL+ALT+I to CTRL+ALT+A
- You can change hotkey via %LOCALAPPDATA%/SC2UIChanger.ini, editing main key for enabling/disabling overlay and "change skin" window
- Program is open source now

If you don't want window size connection between Ui Changer and SC2 game, then open %LOCALAPPDATA%/SC2UIChanger.ini and edit winmodesupport from 1 to 0. After that change your ovelray will not attach to SC2 window anymore.

Hi
I have extracted EG's stream overlay from idra's stream. Works with all races and looks really cool.

Not that good quality. You should smooth edges.

And it's not really need to have that top-left small menu. It's about bottom Ui customization The top-left menu can be hidden via ingame options so nothing to hide.

Anyway thx for trying to post here some skins
