  • FSX Modern Loading Screen and Main Menu

    Want to get the most out of your FSX?



    New design changes almost all dialogs, icons and graphics. It should deliver better looking, clean and modern
    user interface. There are only a few things I decided to left unchanged and those are Missions and Learning Center tab.
    I believe that majority of flight simmers are using Free Flight or Multiplayer only, so I didn't want to spend another
    hours redesigning those parts. And they blend together with the new theme pretty well, since old theme was white/blue too.
    There are also some elements I couldn't manage to find so I left them unchanged. I have included a new FSX shortcut
    icon that matches UI theme. Tested with FSX Acceleration pack.

    Download Link Here

    Installation

    • First, go to your FSX root folder and copy whole Uires folder to safe location in case of restoration of old UI.
    • Move downloaded Uires folder with the new theme to your FSX root folder and merge it with old one. You have to accept overwriting of all files.
    • If you want a new icon for your FSX desktop shortcut, just go to its properties, click Change Icon..., and find an .ico file located in Uires\Icon\ folder.

    How many people are using this new FSX Theme? This really makes your menus look way better and very modern.

      Thank you for all your effort on this. But I'm sorry, I disagree with your claim. Yes it's modern. Yes some people may find it clean. But no, it's not better looking: it's only different looking.

      If you have a Windows 8 system and want FSX to be themed like that, then fine: maybe go ahead and try this skinning.
      If - like me - you see no reason to use Windows 8, or - like me - you actually dislike Windows 8 styling and prefer the look and feel of Windows 7, then perhaps stay with what you've got.

      Nevertheless, it's a great contribution, though I will definitely not be using it!

        It looks cool and everything I just want to stick around with the old reminiscent FSX look. Personal opinion.

          Thanks I did not make it, all the credits go to the person who did it, this addons is for looks althouhg some people on other forums says that increments performance for them since they are HD and lower in space.

            I also think it looks very "nice", but for me the changes I am looking for in FSX having nothing to do with the cosmetics.

            I looked at the contents of the ZIP file you posted' and it contains a large number of only non-executable BMP files which replace the original ones that come with FSX. The start-up graphics while better are only a means to the end of getting into the game, and as such don't really bother me that much.

                Interesting that over 1000 views on this thread but only 9 votes.

                I tried to put in a Uries once, but took it out for the lack of functionality. This one may be better, but i don't really care about the front of the store when what's in the store makes it or breaks it.
