This page details how to customize the controller-oriented UI, referred as Gamepad UI in Half-Life 2 and/or Portal.
Scheme resource files
All of these .res files are located in 
<mod>\gamepadui folder. Open these files with any text editors (such as Windows Notepad, Notepad++) to edit them.
- schemeachievement.res - Achievement page.
- schemechapterbutton.res - New game/select chapters.
- schemeextras.res - Extras ( 20th anniversary update only)
- schememainmenu.res - Menu options (basically GameMenu.res but for Gamepad UI)
- schemepanel.res - Title, navigation buttons, and message.
- schemesavebutton.res - Save/load menu UI.
- schemetab.res - Tabs, used in options menu.
- schemeoptions_checkybox.res - Checkbox
- schemeoptions_sectiontitle.res - Section header (used in Options > Keyboard)
- schemeoptions_skillyskill.res - Difficulty options
- schemeoptions_slideyslide.res - Slider (used in Options)
- schemeoptions_wheelywheel.res - Toggle (used in Options)
Colors
All color values are RGBA.
Fonts
Fonts can be also changed. By default in Half-Life 2 (since 20th anniversary), it uses the GorDIN font, while Portal (and HL2 steam_legacy/previous version), uses the DIN1451Alt and Deja Vu Sans/Noto Sans font.
Todo: Document more and make this page better.
