Hey there!

I've been replaying Uplink for the past week or so and had a great time re-learning all the tricks. After a few tries, now I can finally play the story missions and maybe I'll actually be able to finish it this time (heh!). The game's still as great as I remember it to be!

Now, even though the graphics have aged nicely because of their simple design, I can't shake the 2000-ish sci-fi feeling off. After searching a great deal for themes, I couldn't find anything that actually looked nice or modern, especially for longer periods of time. And so, I've decided to create some myself!

SLICK Theme Package

Features:
*Modern, clean design.
*All new graphic assets made from scratch.
*Different color schemes.
*Easy to read maps!

Available color schemes (click for in-game screenshots):
*Dark.
*Light.
*Blue.
*Complementary.

Unfortunately, I can't post the download link, but if you go on Google and search for "moddb slick uplink", the first result will be the ModDB page from where you can download the package.

Cheers & happy hacking!
Hisshi.

PS: I've attached a preview of the Themes.

Ah! So that was the problem! Makes sense.

Anyway, thanks for posting the link for me! Cheers!

This theme works very well! Excellent work and thanks for sharing! +1
How do I use this theme? I've tried a number of different places for the Slick_Blue folder:

~/Library/Application Support/mods/Slick_Blue
~/Library/Application Support/mods/themes/Slick_Blue
~/Library/Application Support/Uplink/mods/Slick_Blue
~/Library/Application Support/Uplink/mods/themes/Slick_Blue
Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/temp/data/Slick_Blue
Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/data/mods/themes/Slick_Blue
Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/data/mods/Slick_Blue
Uplink.app/Contents/Resources/mods/themes/Slick_Blue

And none of theme seem to work. I start Uplink, go to options, and nothing happens when I click Edit Theme Options.

So sorry for the late reply!

Well, unfortunately, I haven't got a clue about the Mac version, but from what I gathered, the skins should be placed somewhere like:
~/Library/Application Support/mods/graphics

Although, I haven't seen anyone successfully loading themes in the Mac version of the game, so... :/

Cheers!
