color Color Changer - Switch 11 colors DIRECTLY on your mod v12.0

Response from the author:

Thanks for checking it out.

I've heavily edited the menu. I kept the same layout style & a similar look to the icons but all spacing, font size, every icon & every bar is reworked. It looks similar but it is not. For example non selected bars may be black rather than maroon or vice versa. They may be longer or thinner, etc. That's just the tip of the iceberg. It took re-sizing & re-colors even if it's not immediately apparent. Also, under the profile setting you can change the material to Watts on any profile to not get a false positive. Replay or TC is definitely not broken. I purposely set some profiles to a temp-sensing metal to get people to fool w/ Replay on this. It can be set to Watts within the theme in the profile menu or via the profile shortcut on the main screen. I've been playing w/ several different coil builds the last 2 days & testing Replay reliability when mixing wire types. I understand (I think) your saying you don't want material changing options without the profile changing them or any way to get TC or Replay to engage without the chip doing it. That's up to Evolve. I personally find said control safer than allowing the chip to decide alone. Especially when building coils that are using 2-3 different metal types. The chip never knows what they are. In my humble opinion it's a useful setting. I've gotten some reliable TC out of some combos that I wouldn't have without this option. I realize I could delete the control but I personally use it. While most people don't use TC at all I feel that if someone is going to go through the hassle of downloading themes they will probably have a grasp on TC & can navigate it accordingly. I think Evolve would strike the option if they found issue. That's just my stance.

I don't take offense to the review at all. It will hamper the theme from being seen in the future as users like myself will sort by highest rated but themes rarely get reviewed at all so so be it. It's fair given that I've used the Material-ish style of menu. Just understand the amount of work to get it where its viewable to my satisfaction has taken enough time to where I could've built an entirely new menu. I didn't want to do that as I've used a variant of it for 5 or more years. It's just what I'm used to & proficient with. Again, it had to be re-worked quite extensively. Even colors in all states are very viewable. That's rare on here in my experience. It's at a point where it could easily be my own menu if I changed a font style or a few icons but it works for me. The original design was special imo. The 3 bottom shortcuts always made sense & are easy to see outdoors. That said even those are reworked to look perfect when highlighted & not just in a color. Notice the border. No need to reinvent the wheel. I have similar experiences when using the default theme variants. I'm not a fan of someone slapping on a wallpaper & saying it's new.

I have toyed with the idea of building a color changing version based off the default theme or a souped up version of the default as a starting base. It's allot of work though & I'm less familiar with it's functionality. It took allot of crunching to get this version within the chip's tiny memory constraints.

I will agree with you in that I liked the color toggles vs a sub-menu but I've added so many colors it's no longer feasible. On all mods/all chips I've always been a fan of color options which is why this theme exsists & is what it is. It's a worthy trade off for me. As I lean towards graphic design & beauty in my work vs. programming skills. If a theme is programmed great but a field isn't clear when highlighted or selected I'm not going to use it.

Thanks for the review.

=> Thank you for the feedback - so I can reiterate that I am aware of the time invested and would like to expressly reward it. Back to the material selection within the theme, which is why I see this critically (even if I also allow this with my themes!): What happens when the mod is in TC mode and the user switches to a non-temp sensing material? With some popular themes, the option to switch off the temperature control afterwards automatically disappears. A weak point in the Escribe software is that no individual conditions can be created for the selection of the individual materials. The choice can only be generally permitted or not. Unfortunately, it is not possible to distinguish "if temp-protect, then only temp-sensing material". But this discussion now goes far beyond a theme evaluation and so I would like to emphasize again that I did not miss your work, your changes to the original theme. For this part: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(if I sometimes express myself misleadingly - I'm "somewhat" unsure in English and translate everything with Google)

"I lose many download counts by sharing & deleting my full Escribe settings each time I post an update of the theme."

NO YOU DON'T AND ALL CAPS ARE ANNOYING
