Thread: Hacking a Theme

  1. #1

    Starfinder Simple Theme

    This is the thread for Steve's ChatBars Theme for Starfinder.

    While I do like the Paizo goblin themes for Pathfinder, it didn't quite set the right mood for me for Starfinder. Plus I wanted to simplify the interface a bit. Basically, this moves the sidebar into the chat window in an attempt to save desktop space.

    Old versions of this extension included a lot of instructions for stuff that had been deprecated in the CoreRPG and SFRPG rulesets, particularly in Desktop Manager. This is an update to version 2.0 and is a bars-only version that uses opaque frames. While I kind of liked the semi-transparent frames from a glass HUD looking perspective, they did make some things hard to read, so I've done away with those. I have not updated the icon-only version. Perhaps will do that some time down the road.

    Revisions
    ----------------------------------
    v 2021-03-10 Renamed to SFRPG ChatBars. Bars-only version. Removed references to deprecated DesktopManager stuff.

    While I like the Gobbo theme, I really am liking what you are putting together.

    Impressive...most impressive!

    Rooster Cogburn: Shot? Or killed?
    Cross-examining Lawyer: Let us restrict it to killed so we may have a manageable figure!

    Looks very interesting.
    Have you anchored the sidebar buttons into the chatwindow?
    Have you tested on a smaller FG window size?

    Updated. Playing around with opacity/transparency. I was kind of thinking I liked the idea of a starship HUD look. Also, made some new utility buttons to match the theme.

    Yes, I have anchored the sidebar buttons into the chatwindow, but I'm not 100% sure I did it right, as I lack understanding of classes, panels, and anchors One thing I haven't figured out is how to make additional columns in the shortcutsanchor grow right instead of left, which is a problem if there are too many buttons. Plus, I'm not even sure that I've got control over shortcutsanchor to begin with.

    You can also limit the number of columns that the menu will display.
    Trenloe posted an example of this somewhere a few weeks ago.

    Yep, I found this myself as well.

    function onInit()

    DesktopManager.showDockTitleText(false);
    DesktopManager.setStackIconSizeAndSpacing(49, 39, 1, 0);
    DesktopManager.setDockIconSizeAndSpacing(100, 31, 0, -2);
    DesktopManager.setLowerDockOffset(3, 0, 0, 0);
    DesktopManager.setMaxDockColumns(1);

    end
