Changing the appearance of Source's GameUI is as easy as changing the values in the [[SourceScheme.res]] file using any [[text editor]]. If you have not started to create your own [[Half-Life 2]] mod you will need to [http://puu.sh/j5gYH/d9dea509b5.res download the file from here]. You will need to move the <code>SourceScheme.res</code> 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 <code>SourceScheme.res</code> 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 <code>Frame.BgColor</code> to <code>160 160 255 128</code>. Colors are ordered 'RGBA' (Red-Green-Blue-Alpha). Now save the file and run your mod. You now have a blue tinted GUI.
