This mod restores the dark grey and less translucent backgrounds that were used for various UI elements (mostly on-hover pop-ups) before the Orbital update. With the new version of the game HG opted for pitch black background colour with higher transparency value, which makes the popups look like they utilize a shitty high-contrast mode.
