I like that Skyrim has a colour named after it

Excuse me Picky, but where might one find the elusive "AppData"? I did a computer-wide search and didn't find anything that had to do with Vortex. It certainly isn't in the Vortex root directory. I seem to be at a loss as to where I might locate the required folder. Thank you for your time.

Very good. Thank you for your speedy and accurate response, Picky. I appreciate it.

Thanks Picky, it makes sense that there is a color theme for the Nexus site. You should bundle this with Vortex itself
However, it's best to be able to install themes and translation files by drag and drop like extensions. Until then, you can bundle the following batch command for the user (I'm using this script in Vortex translation, seems useful enough for the user).

@echo off
if "%APPDATA%" == "" goto LERROR
if "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%" == "" goto LERROR

set DEST1=%APPDATA%\Vortex
set DEST2=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Vortex

echo (Some description here)
pause

xcopy /S /Y ".\themes\*.*" "%DEST1%\themes\"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto LERROR
xcopy /S /Y ".\themes\*.*" "%DEST2%\themes\"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto LERROR

echo Installation succeeded!
goto LEND

:LERROR
echo Installation failed...
goto LEND

:LEND
pause

Thank you for the colours anyway to get high contrast colour themes?

My old acid-burned-out eyeballs thank you

Hi pickysaurus,
You seem to be well versed in this so I will ask you. I have a tendency not to "see" the flag for light/espfe/esl mods. Whether out of willful ignorance or a floating blindspot I have in my eye. Is there any way to actually change the mod name background or even the entire entry row for a light mod to a different color, that way they are easier to identify? I had thought to use the developer tools to change it, but my CSS is rusty at best and a cursory examination of the code did not seem to differentiate between light mod's and regular mod's background colors. Not a huge deal if it can't be done (at least with my current (laughable) skills in CSS. Its more of a convenience issue.

Hey,

As far as I know, the only thing that tells you it's a light plugin is the icon. The best you can do is use the "flag" filter to show only light plugins.
