Hi Reader, to keep the start menu color matched with hud color without resetting, make sure that the start_menu xml file is set to read-only and set any hud element color to hudmain within the .xml(up to preference).
This doesn't seem to work as advertised. The main menu and pause screens change back to default green, after you quit the game. My files are not set to read only. The hud color stays, but you have to go into the preference file and manually change the pipboy screen to match the hud... if that's your desired goal. Any suggestions on why the mod isn't capturing and keeping the set colors for the main menu and pause screens?
Yeah, I use Darnified. That's why this isn't working for me. After messing with the ini and default ini... I was like, "why isn't this working?" Then realized Darn's start menu xml file is overriding the color settings. I'll try messing with the file, but xml files give me a head ache. It would be awesome if you could make a patch for Darn. Lots of ppl would be happy.
Edit: I did find a half arsed work around on the FNV site. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/44406
Just copy it into your data/menus/options folder. You may want to back up the original. I plugged this in and when I started up my game, it immediately captured the colors I had set with this mod. The only glitches are that I can no longer hide my windows live button. A small sacrifice to have this mod working correctly with Darn though. Plus, the loading screen fonts are not the selected color. However, the start and pause menus work. There's even an option on the mod page for people that don't use Darnified, if that helps anyone. Cheers!
I was able to fix the color matching with VUI+ by editing the start_menu.xml
lines 29-34 containing: <systemcolor> <copy> &hudmain; </copy> <!--VUI+ hudmain for NV as it matches its default color and can be customized at settings --> <sub> &mainmenu; </sub> <onlyif src="globals" trait="_VUI+Vegas" /> <add> &mainmenu; </add> <!--VUI+ Fallout 3 uses a distinct color at the start menu and loading screens --> </systemcolor>
I simply deleted the entries and it worked perfectly.
