5E theme with with small right-side buttons?
My current theme is "Wood Alternative 50", but I'd love to have small buttons on the right, as they're given more screen real-estate than they warrant during gameplay.
Are there any themes that cater to this idea? I've not found any that I like w/ small buttons, and it seems buttons are not independently-sizeable.

There are a couple of button extensions but I think those just add coloured ones rather than a resize. You could have a look at one of those and could probably change the button size.
Having said that the buttons would still take up the same real estate as the normal single row of buttons I suspect. Unless you also changed the size of the entire bar.Last edited by Zacchaeus; February 11th, 2019 at 22:35.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

The buttons get resized in FG code - so that a certain number fit within a single sidebar, and above a certain number they appear in two columns.
The calculations for the spacing of these "dock" buttons is contained in CoreRPG -> scripts\manager_desktop.lua It's a little complex as it has to cater to different FG screen/window sizes, variable number of buttons displayed (selected from the top of the library window), etc..Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

There's a function DesktopManager.setMaxDockColumns(nMax) that can be used to override the default maximum of 3 columns. You could write a mini extension to change this (if this is what you're aiming for).
There's also a function DesktopManager.setDockIconSizeAndSpacing(iw, ih, sw, sh) that could be used to override the expected default width, height and spacing of the dock button icon, which might help if you're looking to create an extension with smaller button icons.
Trying to set the max dock columns to 1 (or 2) might be a good starting point...Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Try the attached as a starting point - you can mess around with the settings (change the current one, try DesktopManager.setDockIconSizeAndSpacing, etc.) to see what might work for you.

You might also look at the Curse of Strahd theme - it uses an alternative button representation.
