Hi friends, I made a mod to bring back the AoC/HD style History screen: https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/21973/
The motivation for this mod is simply to counter DE's questionable UI design, aside from my personal enthusiasm for history. Let's see what is a questionable UI like, as in the vanilla History screen:
Excessive frames. Shiny colors. Bold body font. Flat area of text. And of course, the loss of medieval feeling, like we used to have:
I tried my best to get something close to this, and here's what I got:
If this looks good to you, check out my mod and have a try. Your feedback is welcome
Also I learned a bit of WPF/xaml by making this mod, and I look forward to making more UI tweaks. The ultimate goal (or wish) would be to make the whole game consistent. And I'm happy to discuss technical stuff on UI modding.
