I have started to look at DOE's locations extension (for a 5e campaign), I like what I see so far. The only issue I have is I'm using the "Core Buttons For 5e" extension, when I turn on the Location button in the Library I would like the Locations button to look like the other buttons. I know I can just go into DOE's extension and change the button graphics, but I don't want to have to do that every time he updates the extension.

If you can get the author/owner of the Core Buttons for 5E extension to work with Dulux, he will help coordinate the buttons so it only has to be done once.

You can open the extension and edit the files within. Just be aware of layering, I was modding DOE's locations extension awhile ago and I missed a small detail which confused me for quite some time.

Also, please be aware of the Licensing requirements if anyone does decide to modify any of the DOEs (or the new DORs) - my preferred solution to these types of issues is to work with my fellow Community Devs to come up with a viable solution.

The DOEs specify a load order.
You can create a new extension to load after Dulux's extensions.

This is true - unfortunately, Moon Wizard has stated recently (in another thread) that this functionality is being removed in the future (FGU-era, if my memory serves me correctly) so we can't/shouldn't rely upon it. :(

Load order is still planned, as this was regularly used and required in many cases; it was the extension exclusions and dependencies that are not planned to be implemented, because no one but Dulux-Oz really used them and they are complex to re-implement in FGU.

I apologize - I obviously misunderstood our original conversation.

Well if re-released, but if it's privately used I don't see an issue which appears to be the case here.
