I've been wanting to change the color styles for DEFCON and just decided to ask here. What are you favorite DEFCON styles? (Include links/pictures if you can).

thanks!

I use a theme that I created called "Simple Grey." It is exactly what it sounds like. The intent of the theme was to create something simple and easy to read -- the default style tends to wash out some of the colors.

Looks nice, maybe I'll save that one and then edit it a little.

Oh no! I haven't installed styles in such a long time..... and help on that?

3.3. How do I install a mod?
Once you've downloaded and de-zipped a mod, you need to put it in a folder called "mods" inside a folder called "DEFCON", inside your ~/Library/Application Support/

You'll only need to create these folders once, and all Defcon mods will go into the "mods" folder after that to install. If you've already started up the game once, these folders are then created automatically.

So all installed mods would be at ~/Library/Application Support/DEFCON/mods/<modname>

3.4. That seems ridiculously simple. Is there more to it?
Now that you've installed a mod, you need to activate it inside the game. Start up Defcon and from the main menu click the Mods button. Your currently installed mods should appear on a list. From there, select the mod you want activated and activate it.

Now you've successfully installed and activated a mod.

Oh, it's the same as mods. Thanks.

If you copy the code out of the codebox above, paste it into a text file, and save that file in ~/Library/Application\ Support/DEFCON/mods/theme/data/styles/simple_grey.txt , it will appear as a mod that can be activated or deactivated. If you call it default.txt rather than simple_grey.txt, when the mod is active, the theme will automatically be active (rather than you having to select it). That is not the way that the game itself store styles, but it is the easiest way to add your own.
