TLDR -
Please give us more ways to EMPHASIZE items without interfering with the rarity color…
For example, let us:
- MARK with a little icon (from the inventory icons?)…
- DECORATE the border in some way…
- STYLE-TEXT the font-face used for the text…
- NOTE a small piece of text onto the prefix or suffix of the item name…
- RENAME to replace the item name entirely with our own label
It also would be nice to be able to control the three colors independently (border, text, and background)… but I understand this may be undesirable because it will allow users to make really ugly color combos that would then be visible in game screenshots…
Why? The coloring system is fine in some cases, but it also interferes with seeing what is dropping, because the colors are all kind of “nearly the same” as some of the rarity colors, and also, it overwrites the rarity, and then uses this other dual-coloring system (Which is also very weird) (edited)
I really like “Emphasize” because I can mark items without interfering with the rarity color. For example, I setup all rings and amulets to “emphasize”, so I can quickly see them, because they take a small amount of inventory space, so they are the most space-efficient thing to stack up sometimes.
However, I wish I had more forms of “emphasize” and also ways to put more than one emphasis on the same thing.
For example, I might have configs like:
- MARK rings and amulets with icon (they are space efficient to loot)
- NOTE [HH] on items with hybrid health affix im farming
- NOTE [Necro] on items that work for my Necro-alt so I can pick them up if I have extra space
The important part of this config is that ALL of these different marks could end up on the SAME item… (in theory, affix compatibility aside)
For example, an item might show as…
“(ring icon) [HH] [Necro] Ring of Super awesomeness”
And it will still be colored with it’s rarity!
