Setup GUI

This page allows you to edit the GUI of the game itself: icon colors and font size, tank sight lines, window transparency, VR window placement and where text is shown on your screen. Most changes show right away so you can see them before you press OK.

The Aces High GUI settings page

Icon colors

Icon: - A drop down of the icon types whose color you can change:

Clipboard Enemy 1
Clipboard Enemy 2
Clipboard Friends
Enemy
Friendly
Mission - Players in your mission.
Squadmate
Wingman

Selecting an option from the drop down allows you to adjust its color with the Red, Green and Blue sliders in the Color box. Drag the sliders to adjust the colors. The box to the right of the sliders shows the color.

Icon Font Size

This drop down changes the size of the icon text in flight. Sample Text below it shows the size you picked.

Tank Sight Lines

Sets how thick the lines of the tank gun sights are, from 1 (thin) to 4. Each step makes the lines one screen pixel wider.

Transparency

Message Window - How solid the background of the text message buffer is. Move it to the left for a more see-through background.
Radio Window - How solid the text and voice radio windows are. Move it to the left to make them more see-through.

VR settings

These only matter when you play with a VR headset.

VR GUI Surface - In VR, the game windows are shown on a surface around you. Choose Sphere or Cylinder for its shape.
VR Surface Dist. - How far away from you that surface is (the GUI sphere depth).

Auto Minimize Clipboard

Minimizes clipboard automatically when changing locations.

Moving screen text

While this page is open, each block of text the game shows on your screen (for example the HUD text with speed and altitude) gets a dark box around it. Drag a box with the mouse to move that text. The new positions are saved when this page closes, even if you press Cancel.

Buttons

OK - Saves your settings and closes the page.
Cancel - Undoes your changes to colors and settings and closes the page.
Default - Sets the icon colors, transparency, VR settings, tank sight lines and Auto Minimize Clipboard back to the defaults, and moves the screen text back to its default places. The icon font size is not changed.
