(maybe) Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Get The Navball?

The navball in the screenshot(s) is not included in this theme. There are also many more navballs that look nice with (or without) this theme.

There are two ways of changing the navball

In these examples, I'll be using the Principia navball

1 - Using NavBallTextureChanger Updated

NavBallTextureChanger Updated is a mod for KSP which... well... changes the navball texture. You can change the navball pretty easily in the UI with this mod.

I. Install NavBallTextureChanger Updated

Installing NBTCU is pretty similar to installing ZTheme.

II. Copy the texture into GameData/NavBallTextureChanger/PluginData/Skins

I recommend to also copy the navball twice and naming one navballName_em.png if you want to create emissives for it.

III. Create the config file

Here's an example of what a config file looks like.

If you're using the Principia navball then this should automatically work if you named the navballs navball_compass.png & navball_compass_em.png

NavballTextureChanger
{
	FILE_EMISSIVE
	{
		file = PluginData/Skins/navball_compass.png
		emissive = PluginData/Skins/navball_compass_em.png
		descr = NavballCompass
	}
}

Make sure the file ends with .cfg

IV. Launch KSP and change the navball through the toolbar icon

2 - Using HUDReplacer

This method does not need any more mods as HUDReplacer is a dependency of ZTheme.

This method also is pretty simplified so that people who don't know how to do method 1 can easily do this.

I. Copy your texture to GameData/ZTheme/PluginData and rename it to NavBall.png

...and you're done!

If all goes well then you should see your magnificent navball that replaces the stinky old one.

I don't like what you did with X! Can you change it back?

• The older variants can always be downloaded through older releases and it also may be in the ZThemeExtras.

Known Issues

• Some textures are missing icons #1
