Factorio Forums

Hello,

I have been running a server with some friends and I have run into an issue. One of the players wants the Lily’s Dark GUI mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LilyDarkGUI) but I would prefer the default GUI.

As it stands with the way servers work this is an all or nothing install. I do not know of a way to change the GUI theme/image while the game is running per player or create a client side mod, if possible, and would like help/input on seeing what can be done.

Thanks for any input you may have.

I have tried to make a mod to do this. It does not seem to work. I did have it working when the setting was a startup setting but that would be set by the server and would not fix the issue.
Any help would be nice or just info stating that this cannot be done.

The person wanting to use a different theme might be able to replace the graphics files in their installation, assuming the new theme exactly matches the placements of everything in the sprite sheet. A bit drastic, perhaps, but GUI styles are prototypes just like most anything else defined in the game, and so much match across players.
