Dark mode doesn't have to be black and gray!
Introducing Flat Dark, a replacement GUI with the following goals/features
- Branded dark mode. A branded dark mode relies on the colors of the brand as inspiration for the darker colors. In this case I took the iconic Minecraft green color as inspiration for this dark GUI.
- Normalize design features. The minecraft GUI is filled with instances of both rounded and straight corners. I have eliminated most rounded corners to make the GUI more consistent across the game.
- Remove borders. Almost every vanilla GUI has a black border, a design choice that creates hard separation lines. I prefer to go borderless and let the color contrast provide separation between elements.
- Remove texture. Certain buttons and other elements have textured surfaces, I've normalized textures to flat color to provide uniformity.
- Reduce eye strain. I have removed almost all aspects of "solid" black and white in the GUI. These colors create very strong contrast and cause eye strain. This is the reason more and more interfaces are moving to dark mode.
- Mod support. 24 mods supported so far!
