How to remove the orange color from the buttons ?
Well, before i can start playing. i try to change the very bad orange GLOW color with black text. it makes ir very hard to read. It's a bad combination. So i want to change the orange color on thne button.

So far the horizons startup screen is changed once color, but not the right one.. That's good readable and no GLOW. But in the game the main screen still keeps that terrible orange GLOW color. and i do not get that changed.

I now need to test if the game colors itself are changed.

Why is elitye dangerous use so a terrible color combination like glowing orange ?
And how can we change it ? Already changed on 2 palces GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml
Elite dangerous need a few color themes in the game people can select with high contrast for the text.

You're talking about the HUD colour theme? Yes, you can change it, but its limited.

Presume you have seen this to help you select a theme? http://arkku.com/elite/hud_editor/

FD have briefly talked about allowing more control and customization over the colours, but before they do that they have to effectively rewrite how it all works, so its probably not something that is going to happen any time soon.

turn down bloom in the graphics settings.

however just a warning that it affects other elements like certain paint jobs, the blue glow from empire ships and other stuff so you probably don't want to turn it off completely without seeing the results.

I have seen that link, but it did only changed the hud in the plane. that i at the end reverted back.
But it did not changed the orange in the main menu. The game menu;s seems betetr readable in orange then the main menu buttons.
