Anyone miss the ground themes? I would really like to use destroyer instead of the bright green, purple, and blue. They kill my eyes.

I agree, the ground themes should be available as well. The blue is the least annoying of them all, but it still makes everything difficult to read.

It's probably some unfortunate combination of monitor/gamma/etc, but I can't use - really can't use - any of those color schemes.
I am effectively grounded; not even StarWars is worth a migraine.
It also appears you have to reconfigure your ground game to correspond to the space UI, since some elements of the two seem to affect each other, but not all - e.g. the chat windows are entirely different, but sometimes they pick up each other's placements and such.
Sorry team, but it doesn't *look* like any effort was put into matching up the two UIs. I realize as a developer it's easy to think that what color the UI is isn't going to bother anyone, when you're working away on those tricky balance and gameplay issues, it's easy to forget that your UI shapes how and what we see of all the rest of your labors. Remember: "UI" stands for "User Interface", and from our perspective, it is the front, not the far end of the product.

Agreed... I was assuming that the limited colours was just them being lazy in beta.. just got live and same minimal choices and not even any of the good options (there are only 2 mind, protean and destroyer, rest are hideously bright)

Or perhaps there were more important things to fix/add

The colors we can choose from also hurt my eyes. Does anyone know if the Devs are planning on addressing this issue?

I agree. It also messes with my ground colors, so I have to switch them back to something decent every time I land.

They didn't seem to bother me any. I typically use the rebel theme on the ground so I am not sure if it helped me in space or not. I don't really feel like changing it to find out either.
