Default Colours

Guess this has been discussed before but does anyone know if the default colours can be changed/renamed or can you add to the default colour palette?
- I mean so that the changes are permanent, not file specific ;)
- I'm guessing this means a little tweaking to the .ini but I wouldn't know where to look.....

Hi Brendan,

Are you speaking of Style colors,
or colors on the MoI user interface?

Many Many Style colors can be added.
The maximum number is theoretically 256*256*256. (I think.)
I have about 34.
The color styles can be saved, and automatically can be loaded upon re-opening MoI.
I'll not say how, so as to not give false information:-) I'm thinking it is *.ini, maybe, with a .3dm template file...
You can create/ modify your own template file, or get someone else's template file...

I think that if you load someone else's .3dm, their colors take over, (but your theme template is still available for re-opening MoI.),
but if you Import their.3dm, your colors stay. ???

MoI user interface colors can be changes to a different "theme"
"easy in MoI5beta"
In MoI4 I recently made some color changes to Dino's dark theme, but I could not locate the (numerous?) places
to alter some of the colors.

Hi Brendan, if you set up the style colors how you want in a .3dm file you can then make those be used as the default styles by specifying that file as the startup template under Options > General > "Template file".

The styles will then be loaded from that file when MoI starts up or when you do a File > New.

MoI .ini file, line 5, shows the path to the template file.
Mine is in AppData. (Window's 11)
