darkernodes's Issues

Niagara float sliders are still white, makes the numbers hard to read

The float boxes in niagara are still white, which makes the numbers hard to read.

Here's what they look like:

I'm guessing they should be black like the vector boxes here:

Black test In some text input fields

Its not on all text input fields. Nor all blueprints but sometimes it can really be hard to see.

Niagara button text is too dark

Some button text seem too dark...

Add a setting to change the scrollbar color

It would be cool to change the scrollbar color from white.

Curve editor background and handles results flat white

Curve editor background and handles results flat white, making it excessively bright and hard to manage

"Realtime" button text illegible

A bit tricky to read:

Add some other primary colors

Probably:

Red
Purple
Yellow
Green
Blue might be a bit too dark?

Ability to change th unfocused selection color

Will there be Settings for that in the future?

Add a high contrast mode for color-blind people

Make the small icons properly

I did it the lazy way by resizing the big icons. It was a bad idea 😕...

Disable origin axis on blueprint

Some people would like blueprints not to have an origin axis:

Add icons to the theme (level icons + VR icon)

I should update those icons:

VR Buttons
Material Editor
Mesh Editor
Animation Editor

Done

Black text on dark background in niagara

Things missing, in BP, modes, Animations, Icons from the content browser

That's the one i found, you can take inspiration in this guy

Selected actor text hard to read with dark text on dark background

Whichever actor is selected in the world outliner seems to have black text on a dark background making it difficult to read:

It seems to be the same case inside the details window showing the current actor, although a bit more legible in this case:

Maybe with the darker selected background, the text could be brighter (or just white)?

Add 4.24 compatibility

Some people still use the 4.24 version of the engine, and it shouldn't be too complicated to make it compatible. (Maybe straight c/c from 4.25)

Sequencer

你好，请问Sequencer曲线的背景颜色如何设置？或者曲线的拉杆的颜色如何设置？
Hi, how do the background colors for the Sequencer curve set?Or how to set the color of the curved rod?

custom

自定义颜色重启后无法保存正确设置内容.
The correct Settings could not be saved after a custom color restart

DNP1.mp4

Color customization bug that turn everything to red

Make the update live

Restarting the engine at each modification is a real pain. It might be possible to do live update

Flickering on somes menus/dropdown

A user reported this: https://gyazo.com/8b33bb0e71426869c8ba3a7e59696c5a

Seems to be project specific since it does not do that on a blank new project on his side.

Using 4.25, GTX1060, Windows 10

Add settings for changing button/textfield padding

Make a setting to reduce the button/textfield padding for a more compact look.

Some icons are still dark

Find in blueprint:

Move icons on function inputs in BP:

Issue with Plugin load order in 4.25 from source

Hi,

Just wanted to report that the plugin didn't seem to work very well for me on my 4.25 UE4 built from source.

After comparing it with the launcher's 4.25, and doing some debugging on the plugin, it seems like the content in Editor/EditorStyle/ was being called AFTER Plugins/DarkerNodes/Source/DarkerNodes/, and as is to be expected, undid most of the changes from DarkerNodes.

In DarkerNodes.uplugin, I changed the "LoadingPhase" from "Default" to "PostEngineInit", which has solved the issue for me. It may be a good idea to incorporate this change into the official plugin :)

Expose button colors

Some people would like to change button colors:

Add a setting to change the appearance of blueprints

Some people would like some change and the blueprints node

Please make upper color line from GET/SET nodes a bit thicker as it is very thin to be seen clearly

The brightly colored pills for variables make finding things in a large blueprint nice and easy. The new look is great, but you lose that pop-out color you get with the default theme. I'd like to see an option to make those nodes the same flat color as their type with white/black text.

Session Frontend profiler buttons turn dark

Hope you don't mind the spam! But I noticed these buttons go dark as well and thus 'hiding' the text in the Session Frontend.

Some users have a problem loading the images

Ok, this is kinda critical, some people don't load images:

Questions asked:

What OS are you using?

Do you use C++ in your project?

What happens if you copy/paste the plugin directly under the plugin folder of your project? (if you don't know how to do that, I'll explain it step by step)

Can you find and open the images in UE_4.26\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\DarkerNodes\Resources\Theme ?

Could you test some C++ code? If yes, could you log this string?
#include "Interfaces/IPluginManager.h"
IPluginManager::Get().FindPlugin(TEXT("DarkerNodes"))->GetBaseDir() 

I suspect it can be caused by iOS/Linux for whatever reasons.

~~Either it can't access the images folder.~~
~~Either it can but can't read it.~~
~~Maybe it could be a path too long?~~
~~Maybe it could be some special characters in the path?~~

Make blueprint selection follow primary color

When in Cyan color, the blueprint selection is always orange

Add warmer and cooler option

To tint even more the theme

Squeezed icons

Some icons seems to be squeezed

Add a series of solid icons

Some people might prefer solid icons (instead of thin), so I could make a series with solid icons (and maybe duotone icons too)

Some icon still result old-styled

In material editor, static mesh editor and skeletal mesh editor some icons are missing and are still the default ones, resulting in a mixed syle.

Add small version of icons for toolbar

A good number of people use the toolbar with small icons, so the thin icons should have a small version too.

Add option to keep old blueprint boxes

Add option to set color of variable nodes

The brightly colored pills for variables make finding things in a large blueprint nice and easy. The new look is great, but you lose that pop-out color you get with the default theme. I'd like to see an option to make those nodes the same flat color as their type with white/black text.

Bubbles on blueprints comment are unreadable

I just have to update the design of comments to have a dark background.

SteamSockets error when compiling

I'm the dumbest man alive... I left a debug thing in the 4.26 1.1 package...

People won't be able to compile their project.

I'm gonna remove it and push it real quick...

Statistics panel is pure white

Editor tabs overlap

The tabs seem to be too long, which makes them overlap with the tabs next to it

Var Input Black Text while typing the value.

When I start to type any value from the var it goes to black text but after you press enter (to refresh) the var the text will going back to white again. It only happens during typing the input value on it

Customized color get updated

When temperature is not set to "normal" or when light is not "darker", customized colors are updated.

Tab colour

It screws with my head a bit that the active tab colour is darker than the unselected tab. In the screenshot below, "Find Results" is darker than the unselected "Compiler Results".

Instinctively, I'd assume the lighter colour is the one that is active, as the black of "Find Results" tab fades away into the dark "background" colour of the window, and the unselected "Compiler Results" matches the colour of the active panes below them (the search bar & the search results). Hence, I find myself clicking on the wrong tab often.

Also noteworthy that on the main application window, while the active tab is also darker, the behaviour is different in the sense that the inactive tabs take on the colour of background. This makes the active tab stand out with it's colouring:

Would it be possible to change this behaviour with an option in the config?

Level Icons have incorrect scale

Icons are squashed, also there's no VR preview and mode icons.
