Updated interface files to latest game version (Shattered Space)
Added item sorting for new Shattered Space items
Version 1.2
Added new settings iLootOMeterMinValue and iLootOMeterMinShowValue to fine-control the Loot-O-Meter range and visibility. The bar will range from the new min to max value, and will be hidden if the V/M is below one of these settings. (Defaults: iLootOMeterMinValue=0, iLootOMeterMinShowValue=250)
Added new setting to define a min-mass for the V/M calculation, so items like pens are no longer shown as "very valuable" (fLootOMeterMinMass, default: 0.2)
Added setting to control the loot list entry height and font size ([LootList]iListEntryHeight and iListEntryFontSize, default: 30 and 16)
Added error messages when loaded files are overwritten or wrong version
Added mines to item sorting (allows mine detection for stealing)
Added setting to prevent the steal prevention for mines (bHudPreventStealAccidentIgnoreMines, default: On)
Updated interface files to game version 1.7.36 (2023-10-09)
Change steal protection no longer uses HOLD button. Instead the action is only allowed when sneaking. This is necessary, as the game update to eat things by holding take-button is already active for some users (and it will be for everyone at some time as stated by Bethesda)
Change action "Take All" no longer uses HOLD. Instead there is a new action called by holding SHIFT (or SPRINT button on controller) and then pressing TAKE.
Change slightly adjusted the rarity color Rare to match the color tones of the other rarity colors

StarUI HUD gives you full control over most HUD widgets and provides an updated loot list and better item cards with DPS and V/W. Resize, move, recolour or disable most of the HUD widgets. The loot list can show additional columns like V/W (sort-able) and show you the item card for hovered items!
Change most widgets on the HUD to your liking:
Change the position, the scale (size), the rotation and the color (color modifier or color overwrite available) individually per widget
Hide it, if you don't want to see it!
And for the special watch and player status widget: Adjust the 3D Position (only for 3D experts) or simply deactivate the 3D effect.
New widget: Tag Label
Reduces the HUD's clutter level and let you focus on the important things.
Displays the item name and item tag icon below your cross-hair. So you see what an item is without the need to look at the big item card (which is moved to top right screen as you don't really need it)
For tagged, stolen or contraband items the appropriate icon will be added after the name
Trash items are displayed slightly faded out, so those item draw even less attention
Customizable and can be disabled if you don't like it
New widget: Loot-O-Meter
Displays a bar below your cross-hair which fills up with the value per mass value of the item. So you can easily see what's worth to be taken!
The bar can change the color from red to orange to green based on how much its filled
Customizable and can be disabled if you don't like it
Upgraded loot list (quick container view)
Dynamic size, more items visible (or less if you like)
Automatic height adaption based on content
Item tag icons for every item - See easily what type the item is!
Additional configurable columns (Default adds a V/M column). The list can also be sorted by the column (And you can toggle through the columns it in-game with ALT key)
Shows an item card for the highlighted item
Upgraded item cards
Added item tag icon
Added value V/M for all items with value and mass
Added value DPS for weapon (Burst-DPS, reloading-time not accounted)
Colorizable, relocatable and resizable: All item cards can be adjusted for every situations where they are visible
Quality of Life
Accidental Steal Protection - Prevents pressing the take button if it would be steal. You need to sneak to be able to steal.
Loot list and Tag Label widgets will change to RED when taking would be stealing.
Take All function for most containers - Press sprint and take to take all
Customize your crosshair
Many settings for the crosshair to make it like you want it.
Choose one of the replace modes (Default, DotOnly, DotWhenNotAiming, None) or customize the replacements individually per type, per is-aiming-state and per is-3rd-person-state.
Colorize and resize your crosshair individually per type. Want a big red pistol crosshair, but a small green rifle? You can do it!
Customize your watch
Beside the standard widget settings, you can disable various parts of the watch, either making room for mods or just cause you don't like a part.
Four presets you can choose: Author's Choice, Author's Choice (No Colors), Vanilla Extended and Vanilla. You can change that at any time and customize your chosen one as you like!
Safe to install/remove at any time! Doesn't affect your save game and won't prevent your ability to get achievements!
Integrated item sorting system for all Starfield items for the languages: EN, DE, ES, FR, IT, JA, PL, PTBR and ZHHANS.
You can control when the reticle circle and line are visible individually for different situations (the leader line going from the looked item to the item card/name box)
Reduce the button bars icon for key/controller button and slightly fade out the button bar
