DESCRIPTION
StarUI Material Icons replaces many of the icons found in StarUI with more minimal, legible ones.
Icons are based on the Material Design 1 principles and intended to compliment the vanilla game.
Notable changes include a friendlier "junk" icon, unified and vanilla-friendly design. Only edits StarUI HUD Icons.swf.
