Feature Request: Classic WON-style console and orange text when -nogamepadui is active #4021
Hello Valve Team,
Thank you for the amazing 25th Anniversary Update and for keeping the -nogamepadui command, which allows us to enjoy the classic 1998 main menu.I have a feature request for a future update to complete the retro experience: Could you update the console to match the legacy look when -nogamepadui is active? Specifically, it would be amazing to have the classic WON drop-down grid texture and the iconic orange text color when typing commands, just like back in the day.Ideally, this would be a visual skin that keeps the modern quality-of-life features you added, such as proper UI scaling for high-resolution monitors, autocomplete, and copy/paste functionality.This would be the ultimate gift for the old-school community who loves the original look and feel of the game. Additionally, it would be wonderful if the classic Multiplayer/Server Browser menu style from 1998 could also be integrated when this mode is enabled, ensuring a completely seamless retro experience.
Thank you for your time and dedication!
