~How to Adjust your HUD Colors~

First up, find the file located somewhere around here:

Non-Steam version:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002 (obviously change drive letter to suit your pc, the folder is sometimes a different number)

Steam Version:
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64
(Or where ever you have your SteamLibrary file located, mine is on my D: drive.

Mac Version:
Library > Application Support > Steam > SteamApps > Common > Elite Dangerous > Products > FORC-FDEV-D-1010 > right-click EliteDangerous and click Show package contents > Contents > Resources >

The file is called:
"GraphicsConfiguration.xml"
Right click it and open it with notepad.

PLAYERS! THIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK! ALWAYS KEEP A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL!!

DARKB1KE Setup for a nice blue:
<MatrixRed> 0, 0.4, 0.7 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 0, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 1, 1 </MatrixBlue>
My Current Setup:
<MatrixRed> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 0, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>

If you find that a HUD color setup you like is too bright, or the words are hard to read, you can fix this by reducing the HUD brightness.

To do this:

1. Press the 4 key to open your status panel.
2. Navigate to the "FUNCTIONS" tab
3. Scroll down to the "Interface Brightness"
4. Reduce it down to a setting where the text becomes easier to read, or the HUD brightness is easier on your eyes. (I have it set to 1 pip for my green HUD)

Enjoy!
