📋 About This Mod
Update July 25 2026
NEW VERSION AVAILIBLE!
- The "MainFrame Header Button" field has now been updated to match the current (DLC 8) vanilla functions. Unfortunately, the text coloring isn't working quite right yet—I won't be able to fix that until after my vacation.
- The menu field on the right has also been aligned with the new vanilla functions; the coloring works perfectly there.
- The mod is now fully YAML-compatible again.

WORKS PRETTY WITH DLC4 !
After about 500 hours of Mechwarrior 5, the simple home screen with its harsh and monotonous display got a bit boring - this led to the desire to be able to change the menu colors.
In addition, you can now find the name of the unit and the selected unit symbol in an extra widget on the home screen.
So this mod allows you to set the border, background and text color for most of the home screen elements. Bobbert's "Mod_Options" mod is required for this function!
The relatively high LoadOrder (51) is also required, since some mods seem to overwrite the home screen without changing anything (optically). *deleted
It is also important to note that the selected font for the menu buttons only works in German, English and French. Empty buttons are displayed in Russian.
If necessary, I will create a separate Russian version with the MW5 standard font (which can then also be adapted in color)
Big Thanks to BobbertModdert for his great mod "Mod Options" and VonSeiten & cszolee79 for their support :-)
