Changing the appearance of Source's GameUI is as easy as changing the values in the <code>SteamApps\SourceMods\YourMod\Resource\SourceScheme.res</code> using any [[text editor]]. If you have not started to create your own [[Half-Life 2]] mod you will need to extract the <code>SourceScheme.res</code> file from the <code>source engine.[[GCF|gcf]]</code> file in the <code>SteamApps</code> folder. Look under <code>root\hl2\resource\SourceScheme.res</code> to find the file. You will need to extract the <code>SourceScheme.res</code> file into a game's resource folder or your mod's folder.

Changing the appearance of Source's GameUI is as easy as changing the values in the SteamApps\SourceMods\YourMod\Resource\SourceScheme.res using any text editor. If you have not started to create your own Half-Life 2 mod you will need to download the file from here. You will need to move the SourceScheme.res file into a game's resource folder or your mod's folder, replacing the file if it already exists.

Let's take a look at changing the color of all GameUI elements to a blue tint. Open the SourceScheme.res file in notepad and scroll down to about line 63 you should see something like this...

	Frame.TitleTextInsetX			16
	Frame.ClientInsetX			8
	Frame.ClientInsetY			6
	Frame.BgColor				"160 160 160 128"
	Frame.OutOfFocusBgColor			"160 160 160 32"
	Frame.FocusTransitionEffectTime		"0.3"	// time for a window to fade on focus
	Frame.TransitionEffectTime		"0.08"	// time for a window to fade on open/close
	Frame.AutoSnapRange			"0"

Simply change the values for Frame.BgColor to 160 160 255 128. Colors are ordered 'RGBA' (Red-Green-Blue-Alpha). Now save the file and run your mod. You now have a blue tinted GUI.
