View Full Version : Spell Preparation and Dark Mode

My players recently complained that they were unable to tell what spells they had prepared while in preparation mode, and when I went to check I found that I could not tell the difference between a prepared and unprepared spell either. A cast spell is easy because of the visible checkmark. After some messing around I found the culprit to be the Theme: FG Dark plugin; when I turn it off the difference between a prepared and unprepared spell is readily apparent, as there is a visibly darker ring around the little spell slot circles when I click to prepare them. The funny thing is that I could have sworn I have been using dark mode pretty much from the very beginning because my eyes are very light sensitive, but I do not remember having this issue until recently.

Anyway, given all that, can anyone advise me as to a way to properly see which spells are prepared while also saving my poor eyes? Please and thank you!

That's dependent on the theme to change any elements to match the changes. Whichever theme you are using would need to be updated to provide an alternate checkbox graphic. Which theme is that?

It just says Theme: FG Dark. I assume it comes standard with the program, along with Classic, Dungeon, Leather, and a few more. I certainly don't remember ever downloading them anyway...

I'll have to pass that along to our artist who made it, and see what they can do.

Are you sure that's the only extension/theme you are running? Mine looks different color-wise.

Actually, this looks like an issue with PF2 ruleset doing something different. It works fine in 5E, 4E, 3.5E, etc.

Odd. I do use other extensions, but none of them are visual. Just tried loading it up with only the Theme: FG Dark enabled and it still looks like it did before.

Just pushed an update to the theme swapping the checkbox colors that should help with this. Please run a new Check for Updates and try again.

Related to this, the checkboxes in the Spell/Ability Effect window are even more impossible to see since that window was apparently darkened in the dark theme at some point.

I apologize for bumping this thread but I am doing a bunch of spell creation these last couple days and this issue is murdering my eyesight squinting to make sure the checkbox is checked.

Any ETA on a fix...?
