Description

Restore vanilla progress bar:

  1. The progress bar is "smoothed", smudged.
  2. The colour is different.

Note: progress bar smearing should be restored with the ability to disable it, so modders could make it flat like current progress bar.

Look at the screenshots: Vanilla: image OpenXRay: image

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the rendering code for the loading screen progress bar. Look for drawing functions that handle color and smoothing. Compare with vanilla implementation to restore original appearance while adding an option to disable smoothing.
