Frequently Asked Questions
Repositioning the UI Panels
- Start a battle.
- Open the ingame menu by pressing the Menu button in the top right or pressing Escape or F10.
- Disable 'Simple Settings' by unticking the checkbox in the the bottom right of the ingame menu.

If the UI Preset is not set to 'None' then the main parts of the UI will reset their positions next time the game is launched. Note that by setting 'None' you have become responsible for fixing your own UI if things break it, such as screen resolution changes.
Adding or removing music
Create the folder Zero-K/sounds/music
with the five subfolders war
, peace
, briefing
, victory
and defeat
. Put your music files in the appropriate folders. The only supported format is .ogg
.
To use your music, untick simple settings through the ingame menu and toggle Settings/Audio/Use Included Tracks
then type /luaui reload
in the game chat. There is also an option to not play any of the music included with the game.
Changing team color
To set custom team colors download and unzip this in Zero-K\LuaUI\Configs
such that the filepath Zero-K\LuaUI\Configs\LocalColors.lua
exists. Edit LocalColors.lua with any text editor to configure your color as well as those of neutral units, allies, and enemies.
The 'Custom' option should appear in the color selection menu that can be found in the top left corner of the ingame interface. Select it to use your custom colors. You can make changes to the colors during the game by editing the file and typing /luaui reload
to apply the updates.
Using custom widgets

The widget menu contains many active widgets important to the default UI. Your custom widgets should be at the top, in a group called User local, from which you can activate them.
The widgets in Zero-K can be found here: https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/tree/master/LuaUI/Widgets
