BTS Interface ColorUI Mod
------These steps require a bit of folder navigation and text editing---------------------
*Installation*
Copy the ColorUI folder to your Beyond the sword\mods\folder
To view your colors anytime, start up BTS and Load the "ColorUI" mod
Steps to Setting Your UI Color
*************************************************************************************************
1. After you've copied it to your mods folder, go into the ColorUI folders' "ThemeFiles" folder.
2. Find Civ4Theme_Common.thm and open this file with your favorite text editor (ie Notepad)
3. Go to line 204 (can be found by searching for the line after "// Used for backgrounds of Window and Menu/ComboBox popup." )
Example the gold color is:
Gold:
GColor( 239,209,111,150)
You can change these to anything you want basically. The first three numbers are RGB values and the last (ie 150) is transparency.
BTS Default Values are:
GColor( 69, 93,156,217)
There are some samples in the "Sample Themes" folder.
This website can help you decide colors to use as it shows different RGB values and gives you the number values:

-> There are others sites too, use google.
4. Once you are done, copy the contents of the "ThemeFiles" folder (Assets and Resource folder) and paste them in the parent folder
ColorUI overwriting the Assets and Resource folder there. You can just as easily just go directly to the file in the colorUI folder, it is only
separated into the Themefiles folder to single it out.
OPTIONAL: How to put your colors into another mod!
5. If you want to change the color scheme of a Different mod in the included "Themefiles" folder look for these two files:
* Assets\XML\Art\CIV4ArtDefines_Misc.xml AND
* \Resource\Civ4.thm
** There are two Civ4.thm files actually, you only need to edit the one in the resource subfolder.
_______________________________________________
Open these files with your favorite text editor (ie Notepad) and you can change "ColorUI" to whatever mod folder you are going to be putting this in.
5a. copy the into that mod's folder. For example if you mod is named Foo copy the files so that foo\assets\xml and foo\resources\ is created.
