## Foreword

Developed to reduce eye strain during low-light use of FGU while aligning with established visual‑UI principles and the creator’s preferences, this theme emphasizes a clean, flat UI and strong readability.

## Features

- Reduced dark color palette
- 7:1 value contrast for readable text even at small font sizes
- Redesigned UI: no soft edges, 3D effects, or textures — simple, flat, and clean
- Fonts replaced with Roboto Sans
- Adjusted font sizes and colors for consistency and legibility
- Color‑coded action buttons for faster recognition
- Enhanced radial menu with additional unique icons (thanks to Saagael and MeAndUnique)
- Hotkey bar improvements: no distracting link icons (implemented by MeAndUnique)
  Note: previously placed hotkey links must be re-linked to remove existing icons

## Compatibility Information & Known Problems

This theme uses a high load order of 1500 so it can overwrite most extensions’ UI elements. Any extension that should override this theme must set its load order to 1501 or higher in its extension.xml

- Font extensions (e.g. by Mattekure) — may revert text color to black, making it hard to read.
- Console warnings — you may see [Warning] entries related to this theme; these are harmless and indicate an unsupported extension. [ERROR] entries are serious; please report any errors mentioning this theme.
- Chat Aesthetics Configurator (by Drowbe, maintained by rhagelstrom) — its font and chat color settings conflict with this theme. If you use it, set the configurator to default color in its settings.
- PFRPG2 ruleset — if used, restart both the client and the launcher after installing the theme; otherwise action icons may not display.
- Author extension by Celestian — currently causes storyframe list entries to appear black and hard to read. Avoid using the theme during world building while Author is enabled.

## Installation - Forge (Recommended)

1. Subscribe to the FG Forge item: <https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/12/view> and update your Fantasy Grounds client.

3. Done — enjoy the theme!

3. On your campaign's Details page, enable the extension listed as **Theme: Hearth** in the **Extensions** section, then launch the campaign.
4. Done — enjoy the theme!

Enjoy!
Sir Motte

## Credits

A number of icons are derived from the [ByteDance Open Source Icon Library](https://iconpark.bytedance.com/official). They were heavily modified but provided a valuable starting point.
