Info graphic for starmap key assignments
The little new graphic box "submenustarmapkeys-000.png" in the file "<game path>\content\addons\hires4x.zip" for the starmap key assignments is helpful, but in my opinion to obtrusive with its white keys. So I changed it partially to black just by inverting the colors within the inner rectangles of the keys and put it back to "<game path>\content\addons\hires4x.zip\hires4x\ui", thus overwriting the original graphic.
Original vs modified pic:
 
I think it looks a bit better than the too eye-catching bright keys.
Applies to: Ur-Quan Masters HD Beta 1 in hires-mode 1280x960px.
There are a few more slight changes I made to the mod, like implementing the "whining" Utwig voices again (I like them, they're somewhat of paradox to their strong fighters). Furthermore I added the german umlauts to the tiny fonts (tiny.fon in hires4x.zip\fonts for the ui), which can be useful for german names of the save games. If someone want to have them, I can upload those 7 letters too.

Cool!
If you pack the files up into an UQM file, we can make it available as a separate download for people.

Hi dczanik,
do you mean the umlauts only or the voices and the new graphic too?
And thanks again to you and your dev-comrades for the highly sophisticated work with these HD mods. 
edit - Downloads:
tinyfonts-umlauts.zip - Tiny fonts for hires-mode 1280x960px (321.70KB)
voice-utwig.zip - The "cry babies"  (7.59MB)
With the fonts zip-file I'm not sure if the format is correct, because I never made a addon-package so far.
It contains the whole tiny.fon directory from your file hires4x.zip, where I added this 7 umlauts:
Ä - 000c4.png
Ö - 000d6.png
Ü - 000dc.png
ß - 000df.png
ä - 000e4.png
ö - 000f6.png
ü - 000fc.png
Perhaps you can have a look at it and correct it, if necessary.
In the file voice-utwig.zip are the original "whining" voices, where I adapted the file 3dovoice.rmp to hires4x and added the 2 new missing voices utwig-072.ogg and utwig.075.ogg from your recordings. This zip-file has only to be copied into the folder "addons" and is active immediately, there is no --addon parameter required.

Now I finally managed it to create my first small addon with the starmapkeys in black colors for the hires-mode 1280x960px.
Download: starmapkeys.zip (13.37KB)
Just copy the zip-file into the addons folder and add the commandline option --addon starmapkeys to activate the new design.

Agree the black looks like it belongs. Make it the default?

I actually made a few different sets. One being black keys, I'll have to upload them to something like openart.org. I think it could even be useful for the UQM guys. The idea was to use it like a font, so if you customized the keys, the graphics would change too. Also created characters so languages like Russian, Spanish, French, Portugese, Italian, Hungarian, etc. are supported.
Did you make 320x240 and 640x480 graphics too? I found the letters too hard to read in 320x240, so I made another set for low res stuff.

Because the file hoster sendspace.com became liable to charges quite a while ago for registered accounts, which formerly were free without deleting the uploaded files after a while, I moved them to Dropbox now.
(In german we say: "Erst locken, dann bocken!" Bye bye sendspace.com, farewell.)
Hence the links in my posts above are obsolete now and doesn't work anymore, they may be deleted by an operator.
Here's the new link to Dropbox for the addon starmapkeys.zip and the other 2 files tinyfonts-umlauts.zip and voice-utwig.zip:
The Ur-Quan Masters HD - Dropbox
For installation please refer to my replies #2 and #3, there are no changes since then.
