INI Settings

Configure More Colorful UI by editing Data\SKSE\Plugins\MoreColorfulUI.ini

File Location

The INI file should be located at:

Data\SKSE\Plugins\MoreColorfulUI.ini

If using a mod manager, edit the file within your mod's folder structure.

Basic Format

[Colors]
Prefix=HexColor

Each line under [Colors] maps a text prefix to a color. When activation text starts with that prefix, it will be displayed in the specified color.

How Prefix Matching Works

The plugin checks if the activation text starts with any configured prefix. The first matching prefix wins.

Important: Matching is case-sensitive. Take will match "Take Iron Sword" but not "take iron sword".

[Colors]
; Interaction types
Take=#00FF00

; Specific items (more specific prefixes should come first)

Use comments (lines starting with ;) to organize your configuration
Test colors in-game to ensure readability against different backgrounds
Restart the game after making changes to the INI file
