Important note
The game uses so called HDRColor for widget coloring and it might have a glowing effect, but this effect does not fully work until you load your save game (i.e. pre-game menu colors won't have any glow at all), I haven't found the way to fix it yet. So at the moment it is better to use pre-game HUD Painter menu to switch between presets if you have any, but for color editing I'd recommend using the mod from the pause menu after you load your saved game.
