I always found that the scanlines on the UI of SMAC add too much noise to the interface. Personally, although they add personality to the game, they also reduce the visibility of the actual content.
This mod will remove most of the stripes (aka scan bars) on the interface, making them, in my opinion, cleaner and more readable.
What was done / Notes
* most of the scanlines were replaced by a solid color.
* Most of the time, i tried to keep the colors similar. Unfortunately, due the limited color pallette of the sprites, that was not always possible
* Some colors are purposely different from the original to increase readability. Examples of this are the background colors of some windows (changed to a darker tone, progress of research and build are cleare r, ...).
See examples below.
How to use?
Backup your *.pcx files and then copy the ones provided to your game directory.
