As I understand it, Drowbe's Chat Aesthetics Resplendent Configurator has not implemented anything beyond what you can currently see. Not sure what the status is. See post #65.

I'm just now picking this back up and getting it up on Forge. I think the issue is the load order. They way extension cascade can overwrite the images. I *think* using 1501 might work. Looking into it.

The status is currently "coming back from the dead"... firing up the code and getting it all worked out. How's that for a delayed response.

Suitably timed? :)

Are there triggers for saving throws too?

Images for them, yes… as well as effects. However, I’ve yet to track down the names if the icons in FG I need to override.

Last night I figured out how to add an options to the options panel so you can choose a “theme”… but I am still working out the code to re-map the icons after FG has already loaded. Currently it is defined in a “themes.xml” file… which works great if you only want to have a single theme. It loads right up and overrides the default icons. But, once you go into options and choose a new theme, I need to find a way to re-map all of the icons to the new set. This bit is maddening because it has to be done via LUA and is not just as easy as loading a new XML file.

If anyone knows how to do this:

Code:

---

<icon name="roll_attack_hit" file="themes/default/roll_attack_hit.png" />

---

…in LUA, please let me know.

The closest I’ve come is:

Code:

---

window.roll_attack_hit.setIcons("../themes/hex/roll_attack.png");

---

… which isn’t quite right. I suppose I will need to actually learn LUA… sigh.

You can't, that's loaded at runtime.

As you've found, you can change the icons on a control basis via LUA, but you can't change the base <icon> resource via LUA.

Yeah. I started this little adventure just wanting to swap out some icons and fonts. Did that. Then I got this crazy idea that I could pull together several different themes and configurations letting people customize a bit for their tastes... and that is where it has all gone wrong. heh. I'll figure out some path forward, but I figure I should post the updates I've made thus far. I have two themes and have cleaned up some of the code.

I'll start a new thread and put it on Forge.

Best, --Thomas
