Official D&D 5 theme broken?

[Lynnx333]

Hi,

I guess "Baron Theme" got promoted to be the new standard theme of FGU.

The official D&D Theme seems to had dependencies to the former standard theme and now has some colorful glitches, that do not really read well with the rest of the more grayscale/red design of the theme.

I can't find the official "D&D theme" under expansions (perhaps it is not allowed to meddle with), so could someone official please look into this.


chat input field
scrollbar
character portrait frame
gm chat icon
resize icon



Also, it seems to have a yellowish tint.
See screenshot, this is running with no extension then the theme itself.


(edit) "Savage Worlds Adventure Edition" has similar probs in the chat input field, and perhaps other places where it used standard images from the former FGU Theme.


Thanks and happy gaming.

It is working as intended. The base components were upgraded in the core theme; and the D&D theme never overrode those elements.

Thank you Moon Wizard.

Maybe my post was not written understandably enough.

I understand that on the technical side it "works as intended", but the result does not work with the design of some official themes. That's just my opinion.
Since the new core theme of Fantasy Grounds is now very present, colorful and has a rather "heavy" design, the elements just unfortunately do not work so well with the old design of the affected themes.

I made myself an extension, reverting the looks back. I just thought it would be helpful to make the changes (adding the missing files to the graphics folder) in the original themes, then adding another new extension.

Would you be able to share it? Because I personally agree that the Official D&D Theme now has several parts that are eyesores, where it doesnt override the base "Baron" theme. It looked a lot better and a lot more consistent with the "old" base theme.

I'll be adjusting the scrollbars, combo boxes and resize handles in the updates this week.

Thank you Moon Wizard. That is great news!

@Lo Zeno
I was working on it. I'll wait for the changes from Moon Wizard, because I think if the files are in the original theme, this is a better solution then another extension.

This has been released to Live.

Thank you, Moon Wizard.

D&D 5e:
Will the other elements get an update too?


chat input fields (blue with yellow frame and the typo is not matching rest of theme)
character portrait frames (yellow border around pics & when empty it looks like a yellow post-it)
gm chat icon (the blue one with GM on it)


Savage Worlds:
The Savage Worlds Rulesets does not show this changes, furthermore I have noticed a glitch in the hot keys bar... the number fields are sticking out at the top of the bar and somehow the desktop image is viewable under the hot bar (FG maximized at full HD, scaleui 100%, with windows bar on the bottom of screen).


I imagine that you have much to do, and I think that handling all this stuff around FG Updates must feel like "who the hell has opened Pandora's Box... again!".
Let's just say you and the others do a fantastic job here. Thank you for keeping this VTT running.

There are no plans to make further updates at this time to the D&D Official theme.
I'll put in a fix for the SW hot key titles. They are using an older positioning, so I have to set an override for that ruleset.

Subscribing to this thread in hopes that the changes requested by @Lynnx333 will be considered. I also use the "official" 5e theme and agree with @Lynnx333 on the current appearance of the portrait borders and the chat input field. Thanks for your consideration!

Ok, I sat down again after the last round of D&D and tried to find the remaining, "disturbing" ;) elements and replace them. On the screenshots, you can see what I changed.

The small yellowish frame in the CT (rounds & visible all) could not simply be exchanged. I guess there is another file linked in "graphics_frames.xml". The original file from the old Core RGP graphics looks a little strange, so I made a new one (in the looks of the Menu button in CT). Oh, and I think that on export of the original button someone forgot to make the background transparent, therefore there are small white corners visible. ;)

Since the official theme is not freely accessible, (as far as I know), I can not look in there. I also think there is a color overlay over some elements, e.g. menu selection wheel, and the little arrows for next, back and so on, which used to be gray and are now kind of blue.

Made an extension with Ruleset Wizard, with the load order 55, which restores the old look, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to distribute this extension like that and if so, what would be the best way to do it. I still think a complete and official fix in the original files would be better, but if it is ok, I am glad to be of help here by sharing my fix.


Best wishes!

Best way to distribute it would be the Forge, no doubt. I can't see why you wouldn't be allowed to distribute it, yours wouldn't be the first extension that tweaks a theme as far as I remember, but hopefully someone from SW can give an authoritative answer on that.
