Quartz (former Sapphire) - UI skin framework

Description
VERY MUCH STILL BETA

Quartz is a fork and continuation of the great Sapphire framework project which enables complete re-skinning of the game's UI using a simple XML syntax kinda like HTML.
Download your favourite skins from the workshop and customize the game to exactly your liking!

FEATURED WORKING(ish) SKINS
- [LEGACY][FIXED]Silicon Skin V1.0 originally by: kokonut
- Blue UI by: Unknown Soldier
- [FIXED][LEGACY] Emerald UI (16:9) originally by: nlight
- Hello UI by: hellodave

If you are a player:
- Subscribe to Quartz.
- Subscribe to your favorite skins from the workshop.
- Use the Quartz icon on the top-right of your screen to choose and activate a skin.

If you want to create skins yourself:
- Making Quartz skins is kind of like writing HTML and follows the same rules as Sapphire so far.

- Beginner's guide[github.com]
- Skin module reference[github.com]
- Frequently asked questions[github.com]
- Code examples[github.com]
- Fully working example skin[github.com]
- It is strongly recommended that you subscribe to and learn how to use ModTools

- Please contact me using the contact details below for any questions, suggestions, feedback or just to show me your progress! I will do my best to help anyone who wishes to make skins with Quartz.

Report any bugs on the GitHub repo[github.com] or in the comments. Skin authors can contact me on reddit (/u/bnm12)for questions or suggestions.

KNOWN ISSUES
There's a few, but still gathering data

(Possibly) Incompatible mods
Depends on if the skin has compatibility.
At this time there's no known conflicts with Quartz itself

HOW TO REPORT AN ISSUE
- Gather your output_log.txt after you have reproduced the issue you are reporting. Your output_log.txt is located in Cities_Data, e.g. on Windows - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data.
- Copy the contents of the file and paste them to http://pastebin.com or another pastebin website.
- Provide a list of all mods that you have running.
- Gather relevant screenshots and upload them to http://imgur.com.
- Link all the information as well as a detailed report on how to reproduce the problem and a link to the skin which has/produces this issue. If you have not provided a log, your mods list or enough information to reproduce the issue I will probably not look into it.
- Stick around and semi-frequently check for a developer reply (may take several days) and answer any questions. If you disappear after posting your bug report when I have additional questions I will treat your issue as solved.

ANY COMMENT WHICH IS NOT A QUESTION OR SUGGESTION DIRECTLY RELATED TO QUARTZ, IS NOT LEGIBLE ENGLISH OR DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A VALID ISSUE REPORT WILL BE DELETED ON SIGHT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMPLEX TOOL AND WE HAVE TO KEEP THE DISCUSSION NON-POLLUTED WITH USELESS COMMENTS AND SPAM SO THE GOOD REPORTS AND FEEDBACK CAN BE HEARD.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE RULES ABOVE DO NOT APPLY TO THE DISCUSSIONS SO FEEL FREE TO POST ANYTHING THERE.

DEVELOPERS NOTES

I have plans of maintaining this and maybe adding some new stuff, but so far it's pretty much just a working version of Sapphire which can load the legacy skins made with and for Sapphire.

NOTE: Most of the old skins still reference a zoom button which no longer exists so they don't load as they should, but that's easily fixed, and I hope to get in touch with the creators and send them some fixes, otherwise go tell them :)


ETERNAL THANKS

None of this would have been possible without the great work of nlight on the original Sapphire mod.

I cant see the icon, dont know if its overlayed by some other button, or of the mod isnt working at all. Could you make it, so that you can control the mod from the mod settings menu?

Anyone know what could be the issue with not seeing the Quartz icon? Fresh install, no other mods currently installed.

Sorry for taking so long to fix this: Quartz (former Sapphire) - 1.6 Fixed
Please try the fixed one and let me know if you have any issues

I can't see any Quartz icon on the top-right of my screen.
I suspect overlap with cityRadio icon, is there a way to figure out if icon is displayed and hidden by something or not ?

FIXED VERSION: Quartz (former Sapphire) - 1.6 Fixed
AlexM 20 Mar, 2017 @ 2:41pm 
I'm going to upload my version for people to use temporarily until TheOne has time to fix this one. I have no intention of continuing development but just to help people to keep using it.
