Zone Color Changer

Description
Change zone colors. Useful for players with color issues like color-blindness or for those who don't like the default colors.

Press Ctrl+K or click UUI Button.

The mod provides an option to change the color of each zone type, zoning panel icons are not affected. (would be a great feature)

The color profile is stored in in %localappdata%\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\ModConfig\zone-color-changer.cfg like the original mod did.

The old mod did only save at OnLevelUnloading(), fast return to desktop and crashes would not save the profile. I removed automatic saving and added three buttons:

- save current (and overwrite a previously saved) color profile to the .cfg file
- load previously saved color profile from the .cfg file
- reset to default color profile (but do not save the profile)

The color profile file loads at level start.

This is a continuation of the mod Zone Colours.

@Chamëleon TBN: nice ty :-)
@Terminal Frost: ty, for me it's the color of high residential zones which was like invisible on most grass surfaces. It bothered me so much, and I did not find any other working mods which can change the colors. So I took the original Zone Colours mod and reactivated my long not used programming skills to solve the problem.
@grimwav7: do you mean the color of the district name text? Not yet possible but it's planned. See Ciar Aon's comments

Is it possible to change the color of individual districts?

Personally, I have no use for this mod, but I could see this being *incredibly* helpful to some people! Some mods improve a bit how the game plays; this mod can actually make the game *playable* for an entire group of people! Simply outstanding work!

@mm54321 - that what is implemented seems to work. Found no issues, code is okay too. Will add to CR as stable

District colors and UI buttons are on the roadmap now.

Those 3 districts sharing the same color value limits the usefulness but it'd still be nice to have an option for changing them regardless. I bet others would find the functionality helpful too.

As for this mod, everything works with my current P&P mod setup. I like that you can see the changes to your zone colors live when scrolling the color chart. Suggestions: a Close button on the UI panel so you don't have to use (or remember) a shortcut, and a button for Unified UI for the same reason.
