Hey everyone it's been a while
When I first released ModernUI version 1 back 6 years ago I would've never have expected it to be as popular as it is, and I'd like to thank everyone for using it. Over time I've heard feedback from everyone on and off the forum about it such as adding extra colours and font options, and about having the option to install the UI pack without the .exe installer.
The past few weeks I've been looking into it all and working on a brand new UI pack called AeroUI !
While it took a lot more work to do this due to the limitations of TruckersMP's current UI engine, I have been experimenting with different styles to use, instead of sticking to a flat design. I noticed that Aero design started to become popular again and I thought why not use that in TruckersMP?
Unfortunately because of these limitations I couldn't get anywhere close to the design I wanted which was inspired by things like Windows 7 and generally the aesthetic of the mid-late 2000s. Shown below is the early design of AeroUI, which you can see had its problems.
Realising that a light theme was not going to work due to some text being forced white, I had to come up with a different design altogether, so after another while I finally came up with what we have now. Once I completed the main textures I could move onto colour options, and finding suitable colours was mildly difficult because of the shading and not having it look out of place.
Below you can see all the different options I came up with, I will look at adding more in the future but at the moment there is a decent variety.
And I can finally announce the release of AeroUI, available to download today! The topic in Custom UI Packs is currently pending approval and will hopefully appear soon. This also has no installer and you simply choose what colour you want and if you want a different font you can choose an add-on pack available on the same link.
Once again thank you everyone for using ModernUI, I won't be giving up on ModernUI as I will still update it in the future.
Enjoy!
