cHUD Alternative (for Afterbirth)
Adds colour to the "paper" menus
Created 10 years ago
Afterbirth+ version available here and on steamworks. Steamworks version works as an expansion to official cHUD and therefore also includes the latest updates from TRPG's mod.

An alternative version of 304's cHUD created while waiting for the official Afterbirth update (which is out now HERE: http://www.moddingofisaac.com/mod/104/chudmod).

Compared to the original cHUD this has a little more of the texts and menu backgrounds coloured than TRPG's version originally had.
I'm leaving it here for those who prefer the 'even more colour' option otherwise go and download TRPG's version instead.

Painted item previews, boss previews on death screens, char screen, background doodles.

Updated a few missing items not painted from the original and fixed some transparent graphics bugs.

Coloured all loading images using 94714's '977' as the base.

From the original mod:

Previously known as Better Item Icons, cHUD is a mod that colors sprites in the menus like the pause menu, character select screen, and more!

Shoutout to /u/Lecek for suggesting tons of features when cHUD used to be on /r/moddingofisaac!

- All loading images tinted [Used Super-CollidingSuperButton's 'Prettier Loading Images' as a base]

- Painted the completion widget (missed it before)

- Painted the Keeper (let me know if anything looks off - don't have him unlocked yet)

- Painted the newly available items for the item preview page

- Painted Lilith's and Keeper's names

- Fixed Eden's name to use the font graphic from AB instead of the old version from Rebirth

- All of the scribbles in the background painted! (200%more colorful barfs, 'oh god what is this brown goo on my screen' edition)

- Fixed the half-transparent grey pixels around some texts and graphics to be tinted the same colour as the parent graphic (char names were the biggest offenders)

- Trimmed 1 not needed file which was same as the original

- Added more colour to the characters on the character menu

- Minor fixes to item colouring to prevent possible transparency issues

- Item list updated with the items from the last patch

- Toned down the colour of some fonts to make it seem less like magic marker and more like crayon-painted (like the main menu).

- Removed unneccesary files

Will this be updated for Afterbirth+ ?
i love all the colors, i was getting really tired of all the black and white
Слишком много цветов
How do I change the color of the question marks in the item (stuff I found) menu? I'd much prefer black over red.
The file responsible for that is 'resources/gfx/ui/death items.png'
Exchange it for this one to have dark question marks and painted items: http://www.filedropper.com/deathitems
Thanks! That file link didn't work though.
Huh. Filedropper keeps the file for 7-10 days only I think.
Must have missed it
Anyways: you'd have to open the file with an editor that support transparencies and find the 3 question marks on the item grid - you can then colour them any shade you like.
Just copy into the Binding of Isaac game folder so the 'Resources' folder is in the same place as the isaac.exe file
Yay Colorz Makes The Menus look so much Cooler
This is a really good mod!
I especially love the fact that everything in the menus are working great.
Well... Everything isn't colored. Like the hanged man in the BG of the Title Screen. But it's cool because every stat has a color.
The hangman is coloured but it's very subtle. Gave him the dark grey colour of the keepers. In the original he was plain white as the BG.
Very nice mod, I love it so much! Why isn't the Isaac like this by default? Why there has to be an awesmoe guy to do this? Pls devs...
The ride is ogre, cHUD updated for afterbirth for realzies
Yup. Finally
I guess this can now be simply treated as an alternative version since I had coloured some stuff that TRPG did not intend to colour originally - all up to what you prefer ;)
ive mixed and matched the two, your char select screen colors are a crapton better c:
Thanks man. It always feels great to hear that someone enjoys the work.
This is what I love about modding. Being able to just mix, match and adjust stuff to exact preferences
looks like isaac got his crayons back!
Found a bug.The coins that apper when you chose greed mod all olways shown.
Hi. The gold coins are part of the default background in AB and are visible in all chosen modes. When Greed is chosen only 3 ¢ signs are added to the screen.
Ok I didnt notice. and why is your coment in negative????? :0
To invoke the hive-mind representing isaac.
Invoking the feeling of RNG.
Without Soy Milk.
The MacMillan hive-mind of isaac. Edmund.
He who Tweets Behind The Wall.
EDMUND!
Checked and it still works with the up-to-date version.
Please make sure that you installed it correctly - notice that the zip contains the files grouped under resources folder. Just copy this folder into the BoI folder so it's on the same level as the .exe file.
I've been waiting for so long, thank you !!
ignore last comment, and yeah, keeper looks great. nothing to worry about (that ive noticed at least)
so, im now to the mods, how would i go about updating? my guess would be to delete all old files, then proceed as if i was downloading something new?
Hi all. Sorry for the delay, I will update the mod today for the latest character and related items after work.
Got distracted from BoI by fallout for the past few days.

Please feel free to give suggestions for additional changes if you have any.
I just wanted to ask about that XD
Update up. Let me know if anyone notices any issues with the Keeper's gfx as I was not able to check him in game yet.
Can you update for the new character? Thanks!
update for the new character please
Can't download because I don't own Rebirth?
That's such bullshit..
Strange. Didn't have it before and I still could back then. Maybe they changed something.
One more reason to support a developer providing hundreds of hours of gameplay
I cant find the Easter Egg page, where is it?
It comes up once you put in a special seed for the first time.
more specifically, when you put in a "special" seed, you press q in the character selection menu

Owning the game on Steam is no longer required to download mods! All you need to do is login with a Steam account and you're good to go.
