"SonicX8000's Huds & Fonts" is a pack of files that changes the hud style, the font style or the console style. Such styles you may find here are kept close to the vanilla style or it may be a different style entirely.
Due to the many files, I decided to put them in zip folders just so it's easier to keep them tidy. What's inside these Zip Folders are listed below.
NOTICE
Please note that it's best not to load the 'Font Styles', 'Hud Styles' or 'Console Styles' together as it'll cancel out whichever was loaded last. For example... loading SRB2FontS1 while SRB2FontShadows is added will overwrite the Level Font from SRB2FontShadows. Same thing with SRB2ShinyHud & SRB2ShinyHudNoItalic with it overwriting the Hud as well as SRB2ConsoleShadows & SRB2ShinyConsole overwriting the Console Font.
If you load, say SRB2ShinyHud, SRB2ShinyFont and SRB2ShinyConsole together... everything will work correctly as you'll get the replaces for the Hud, the Font and the Console Font.
Now then... a description of what each zip folder contains as well as what each addon is about.

This font style is supposed to be based off Sonic 3 & Knuckles font, in a way.
====================
(Update 6)
With the release of 2.2.9, more colormap shades were added. This means that the shiny fonts had to go through a overhaul on the shading so that they can change colors correctly. There's also some hud elements that became whitelisted meaning that they no longer mark the game as modified.

==========
*Misc*
Due to the above changes, the Screenshots were updated.
Submitted the files so that they can actually be downloaded from the download button.
For those wondering why "SRB2ShinyFontS3K" is being labeled as v2.0 instead of v1.0, this is because I was working on this font style back then but stopped since the colormaps were going to have more shades so I figure I do a overhaul on the shading for the fonts and release that instead.
==========
(Update 7)
Long overdue for this update due to some setbacks... such as my NVMe Drive failing on me which wiped the WIP addons but thankfully I had the graphics stored on a different storage drive so not much was lost. Now the rundown...
