How to reduce background intensity for galaxy picture?

5 years ago Sep 19, 2019, 6:13:02 PM

While gorgeous, I find the galaxy background distracting an anoying, as in my opinion it's too bright and makes it harder to see some of the elements I consider much more important.

Having started playing again after the new DLC it was the first thing I noticed again.

Is there any way to either darken the background image, or, if that's not possible maybe remove it entirely? I'm happy to hack my XML files, but I've not managed to find a place where I might change the background.

Any help/advice appreciated.

You could install (free) ReShade software, to adapt graphics for what you aim for ReShade

i agree that there are galaxy backgrounds that can make some UI elements and information frustrating. Searching through the G2G forums, I didn't see anything that addresses it, and I did not find any Steam mods that do either. G2G does not make it easy to search for topics though, and I probably missed discussions on it. I recommend you post your question in the Modding forum as folks there may have a better understanding of what can or can't be done.
