Maybe u know, u can change the color of the GUI. Its fairly easy and its up to u to make it look as u wish. Ive made mine to black, that way it looks like I belong to the dark side. Heres my setup:

ui_scale 90
ui_color_hue 0
ui_color_sat 0
ui_color_lht 0

If u would like to change back to default, the default settings can be found at Docs -> Client Settings
It looks like that

Fcourse its not clearly visible at which tab u are, but thats easily predictable :P everything other is clear and readable. I like it that way, but u dont have to. Have fun.

Hi, I have thought of a new gametype which imho would quite well fit the whole TW philosophy. I've already contacted some people about it, asked opinions etc, and got some positive feedback. I think this new gametype would be worth making. Ofcourse I know devs are very busy, thats why I posted this here, because what I need is someone who can code the things I can imagine ( lol now that I write that it sounds so cool ), i mean to make a mod. Later if it gets popular or u just like it, w/e may happen. And now let me describe what I thought of. This new gametype would be called Jailbreak.
In this gametype you have to frag the other teams players, but after u kill someone they get spawned in a prison! The prison is totally isolated, it means no way getting out ( isolated I mean by walls ). Every team has a base and a prison, near their base where enemys are cought. Every team has a switch ( flag  ) at their base which triggers the prison doors ( spawning ) so when enemy reaches ur trigger the prisoners are freed and can continue playing. The whole game is round based, means 10 rounds/per game for example. U win a round if all enemy members are prisoned. Then a new round begins. One of the biggest problem is that people in prison may get bored therefore:
- it shud be allowed for them to spectate in an automatic way, without loosing score ( but their body should stay in prison. I think this is the hardest part of the implementation if possible at all )
- in every round there can be allowed max 1 or 2 arena fights ( means might happen none at all )
  Arena fight: two tees from both prisons are randomly chosen and spawned in a small arena somewhere on the map ( also isolated like prisons ) and can fight for freedom. Whoever wins gets out of prison. ( Making too much of theese fights can ruin the gameplay, balance needs to be found - somrthing like if (rand()%6==0) fight(); ) After all I think it is possible to make this mod with the current engine/api. Another thing ( suggested by ShootMe ) is a forced time limit, so tees wont stay in prison forever even if the alive ones are inactive. I think that there should be a time limit for each round for example 8 mins, if time perishes team with most score wins the round. ( scoring needs to be thought of too ) But if one team frees its teammates timelimit is incremented with 2 mins for example, fcorse the max still remains 8. That way the game will be more dramatic and fun. Atleast I think.

Of course there are some details that need to be thought of, for example self kills with rockets, or `kill` cmd, where to spawn freed tees, how to trigger the switch ( just touching it may be easy ), where to place it etc. As a base map I thought of a modified ctf2, with prisons above bases, arena above center ( sword ), and switches somewhere in bases. The gameplay shud be quite enjoyable imho.

The idea is not too original *cough http://www.moddb.com/mods/ut-jailbreak/ *cough, but I think it fits tw philosophy quite well, teamplay, strategy etc ... Feel free to conatct me if you like the idea and think you could do it ( or know someone who  can/want etc... )

Heres a link to the map, it speaks for itself

Update:
Abbreviation: JL
Rules:
A game consists of rounds. By default this should be 6 rounds / per game.
You can win a round if you prison/kill all the enemies or the time goes by, and you have more score. Theres a so called soft-time limit for a round which means from the start you have 8 minutes to kill urselves, but if someone reaches a jail switch 2 minutes are added to the time. 8 is still the max. If u open a jail, the jail cant be opened again for 1 minute ( or maybe 2 ? ). You can open a jail max 3 times / round. If u get killed you go to jail - which means u will spectate ( I tihnk this is better than hanging around in a 6x4 cage ... ). An arena fight can happen only if one of the teams has 2x more alive players ( 6v3,2,1; 5v2,1;4v2,1; 3v1; 2v1)
But whether a fight happens should be random because it can make advantage to both teams ... imagine 5v3 a fight happens then 6v3 o_O. Something like the good old russian roulette should do it. Tees should spawn with full health and some armor. Oh I almost forgot. The scoring:
kill an enemy - 1p
jailbreak     - 3p + 1p / member freed
win a duel    - 2p
The scores are only important if neither team can prison all others tees in time. It doesnt matter if you have 100 score the other only 10, if they manage to prison ur team they win the round. Some variables should be added, with a jl_ prefix like theese:

jl_softtime  8 -- time per round
jl_timebonus 2 -- time bonus u get when doing jailbreak
jl_idletime  1 -- time u must wait to open a prison again, after u opened it
jl_maxopen   3 -- max prisonbreaks u can do per round
jl_rounds    6 -- rounds / game
