About This Mod
This is a simple texture replacement for all keyboard icons used in the UI. I always found the blocky keys jarring in the Stellaris UI (I believe these were used from HOI4, which fit that UI a bit better).

These icons were designed with the same frame of the generic button tile texture in the base game (like the map mode buttons or building buttons on the planetary UI). The font face used is called SF Compact Display, available from Apple's developer platform page. Textures were designed and saved uncompressed in GIMP 2.10.

Installation
Subscribe to this mod and ensure it's enabled in the launcher.

Compatibility
This mod should not present any conflicts with any other mod. I'm not aware of any popular mods that touch the keyboard icon textures. The only files touched by this mod are located in:
(Stellaris)/gfx/keyicons

3.1 update posted (nothing actually changed, just the mod descriptor)

This works fine for 3.1 (personally tested). When I get some time I'll update the text file so Paradox's stupid launcher can stop complaining.

Sorry all, I haven't forgotten to update. Just been a bit busy with work lately, haven't gotten much time to sit down and edit the files. Will post when the icons are re-centered.

@Chris -- you're right, I think it's due to the font kerning. I built these with a couple scripts on my linux vm since it was extremely tedious to manually edit 50+ keys (most of which have the same dimensions). I see an example like the "D," "W," and "Q" all appear off by a pixel.

I'll dig through and manually edit some of them to recenter when I get some time off work. Probably will have fixed this weekend.

Only now do I realize how jarring these *actually* were lol
