Better Headline Bubbles
A simple standalone UI mod to enhance the headline effects bubbles :-)
🆕 21 September '26: updated Shadow file to differentiate the low needs/spikey bubble
install only one at a time
made for users not using any UI recolor mods in mind
for those who do, with my UI mods specifically, you can delete the "Headline Effects - Texture" file to switch out the bubble styles.
for Chalk'd & Glass UI users: this mod is compatible with the mentioned mods!
PNGs available for use in screenshots/thumbnails/edits!

Thank you so much! I wonder if you'd consider doing something similar for the overhead effects (e.g., skill gain icons)?
Omg, I love it ! :)
Oh i love this! I always thought it was so low poly and ugly. Would you be interested in doing the progress meter bars as well? They're so big and ugly.

Thank you so much for your contributions!! I'm using your TS2 UI and have deleted the Live_1 - Headline Effects - Texture file, yet can't get these to show up. Would you have any idea why? Edit: For anyone experiencing the same issue, my Better Build Buy was out of date!
vyxated my goat...
Love this. And to make low needs a red colour?! Beautiful
which one is the best one to use? does this change the images in the bubbles too?
Up to your personal preference, though I think shadow fits well with the original design! The headline icons do not change (from what I can see, they are quite high definition already so I didn't modify them)
and suddenly i realize that the headline bubbles suck
Lol had the exact same realization ... How did I not notice this???
OMGG LOVE THISSS
god, i cant decide on which one i want to use this is gonna take me like two years to make a decision on
but anyway THANK YOU, you are the GOAT as usual
Amazing! thank you
thank you for all that you do with your mods! as a massive lover of the seemingly "small" details, it's so appreciated 🩷🩷🩷
Def getting the shadow version :) TYSM
it’s the way i never would’ve thought i needed this but here we are, you’re amazing
You're an amazing creator. Thank you. You think of things that no one ever thinks about.

Amazing! 💜 Everything you do is amazing! Thank you! 💜
Hi, I'm using the pastel purple interface recolor. If I understand correctly, does that mean I can't use this mod? Thanks for everything you create—they're all must-haves.
You can use any of these, it's just that you will lose the purple recolor for the headline effects UI that's included from that mod. The Purple UI uses the TS2 headline bubble as a base. If you use this instead, you may also want to delete the "Live_1 - Headline Effects" file so that it doesn't conflict with each other.
Love love love you downnnnn !!
So good, thank you for these! Only bad thing is which one to pick -what a great problem to have!
you really never miss with these overrides. thank u sm!!
i love you
never knew i needed this mod, but omg, i desperately need this now to match the comic theme i've already got going on .ᐟ.ᐟ
These look so much cleaner in-game, I love the crisp edges!
can't download both the outline or shadow variants, they say "media file not found"
thanks for letting me know! should be fixed now
Here you go creating things that I didn’t know I needed yet again 😭 can’t wait to use that comic one!
