()((()'s Interface Mod

elements the author has created a more practical interface that is well organised and gets real results The user interface is incredibly slick and versatile with a diverse range of improvements and it still maintains the functionality of the original User Interface; This is quite an achievement for a mod developed in such little time since the release of the game. Not only that, but we have a plethora of options to choose from with the mod which should give you the ability to leave a little bit of your own style on the interface and that little “homely” feel to your Supreme Commander game. Options include enlarged strategic icons on the build options, build queue and selections icons (with controllable transparency) as well as other features in the dedicated “Mods” tab within the Options Window, accessible easily during play. The UI uses a completely fresh skin which reduces the build options to one line, the economy bar and the controls are a couple of pixels smaller too and removing the borders has helped game play a lot by giving the focus back to the game instead of the fat and down right ugly interface. But with new horizons comes new enemies, the UI can only be set to bottom layout instead of right or left and the mini map is slightly off due to the way the game handles the mini map view; these however need to be taken with a pinch of salt! This version is only 0.7 and is very good at this stage, the author plans on implementing several improvements including the general look and feel of some buttons, diversifying the variety of skins available, user defined interface placements, improving the transparency of some menu’s and implementing a separate layout manager for all of the new skins that he intends to bring. Read the read me for more specifics, ultimately though this mod deserves massive thumbs up in terms of its quality and how readily available it has become. To install, drop the .scd file into the "Supreme Commander/gamedata/" folder. The mod will then show up in the mod manager, where you can enable/disable it.

The author’s goal was to create a more task-orientated interface, I think he can clearly tick that box ladies and gentlemen! By enlarging often used buttons while shrinking less important UI
