Current Version: 1.11 Updated: 11/21/23
The companion extension Fireside can be used to create custom themes or custom GM icons. Fireside will allow these changes to persist even if Chat Aesthetics Configurator is updated. Fireside is not listed on the forge by design and you'll have to download it from github and make your own custom adjustments.

Okay, so what does it do? Well, the Chat Aesthetics Configurator replaces some of the standard icons in the chat window with a set of icons I've designed to match many of the other images I've used in other extensions. Further, it replaces some of the fonts and their styles. For me, these align with my aesthetic sensibilities. If they don't align with yours, no worries... just swap out whatever you'd like. Or don't use it.
What does this mean? Well, when there is a "hit"... the players will see a fancy "hit" icon with text colors to match. Same for "miss" or "crit" or several other actions and effects. Further, this adds a "GM" icon to align with the look and feel of the rest of the chat icons.
If you want to get that "whole suite" feel, this extension pairs nicely with MATTEKURE's "Fantasy Grounds 5E Indicators", Mad Nomad's "Mad Nomad's Interactive Portraits", and SirMotte's "Magnificent Darkness - Hearth Edition" theme, among others.
I will do my best to support whatever issues come up, but at the bank-breaking price of zero gold, I can only do what I can do in my spare time. It goes without saying, but I'll say it, use the extension at your own risk.
- Drowbe for creating this extension and the awesome graphics.
- VALEROS for his original extension, "Chat Window - Attack Rolls - Big Icons, Fonts, and Color - Great for TV use" as found in the Fantasy Grounds Forum
- MATTEKURE for his evolution of the extension and guidance.
- SirMotte for his patience and support.
- I am hoping to add icons for all of the conditions (e.g. grappled)... at some point.
- I am going to add a few more icon and font themes -- hit the forum and make suggestions.
- Introduce a minimalist "dot" icon set for a super-clean look. (Kinda Done)
- Add the ability to use a player portrait instead of the enhanced icons.
- Adding themes with smaller fonts.. and different fonts.
It goes without saying, but USE THIS EXTENSION AT YOUR OWN RISK. See the LICENSE for more legal goodness.
