How do you change the color of your hud on linux?

There is another way on Windows with much more options but AFAIK no one has managed to run it on Linux. It relies on injecting a dll into ED

Edhmui, I run it on Linux and it works flawlessly.

Ed hud mod v3 was released a few months ago with Linux support. Much much better than running via wine in elites prefix (which did work, with difficulty)

I really have to give this a try. It may sound odd but I never tried changing the ingame HUD before. This is odd because I built a full blown cockpit for my space trucking fix 🤓

You can do it per ship too, makes every ship feel unique. Highly recommended. Edhm ui

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say, for anyone who might find it, that you don't necessarily need a plugin, you can change your colors on any platform by just changing a text file, "GraphicsConfiguration.xml". Where it is located depends on where you installed the game, but as an example, if you installed it through Steam, it will be at /path/to/your/install/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous/Products/elite-dangerous-odyssey-64.

Make a backup copy of it, then edit it. Search for "GUIColour" and find this block:

<Default>
	<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
	<MatrixRed>1, 0, 0</MatrixRed>
	<MatrixGreen>0, 1, 0</MatrixGreen>
	<MatrixBlue>0, 0, 1</MatrixBlue>
</Default>

You can change this to any number of different color variations. The one I use is this:

<Default>
	<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
	<MatrixRed>0.5, 0.5, 1</MatrixRed>
	<MatrixGreen>0, 0.5, 0</MatrixGreen>
	<MatrixBlue>1, 0, 0</MatrixBlue>
</Default>

And it makes it look like this.

Edit: The plugins give greater control over more elements, but if you just want a quick and easy way to do it, this works pretty well.
