FG Modern Theme 4E issues

[kevininrussia]

FG Modern Theme:
Ruleset 4E

Latest update replaced the AT-Will, Encounter, Daily power colors with Orange. Those need to remain the same color as before (green, red, dark gray) so the player will know the action type of the power.

I understand and will get that sorted straight away. I very much appreciate you pointing these out.

Could you tell where in the 4e code for the AT-Will, Encounter, Daily power colors are located? I have a game tonight and will throw together a quick extension to overwrite.

[jwatmough]

What you need to change is in the graphics_frames.xml file located in the graphics folder.
The specific items are at line 155 to 166
<framedef name="headerpoweratwill">
<framedef name="headerpowerenc">
<framedef name="headerpowerdaily">

let me know if you need assistance with this

I have fixed the theme for this issue and it should be available in the product's next update

[kevininrussia]

Thanks! I'll keep a look out for that update and delete my patch. I changed the stock power buttons to the right. The ones that come stock are the old 4e ones from I think 2004 ;-) The ones I added will do for now until you or I can make something better.

Nicely done! Perhaps, in the near future, the default images from CoreRPG are going to get a makeover ;)

FYI: this extension that changes the wound color does not work with this theme. Works with other non FG purchase themes. Seems like something is locking it out.

Yes, that would be because this theme alters those values, and most do not. Unless an extension defines its load order, there is no guarantee as to the order in which extensions will be loaded by FG. The theme is most likely being loaded after the other extension and thus overriding the extension's purpose.

[kevininrussia]

I added <loadorder>250</loadorder>

but that didnt help.

I'm the author of that extension, it has a load order of 50. May I ask what the theme's load order is?

[jwatmough]

This theme has no defined load order

[kevininrussia]

Is it possible to have more color contrast between the block separators? Currently the two colors are very similar. If not (might mess up your theme for others) could you tell me where I would find this parameter to make adjustment?

This theme has no defined load order
Perhaps official themes should all have a consistent load order? John or Doug would know best, but I would propose something like 70.

Trying out the Winter Theme. Like it but it has the same issue with the POWERS colors as with Modern Theme. I assume this will be an issue with all the themes.

Griogre's extension works with this theme.

Winter theme: The side bar graphic needs to be adjusted to match the new sidebar button size.
