What's New
0.7.1 June 12th, 2026
This update primarily focuses on UI modifications to better suit user preferences:
The default color settings are now set to "Read Theme Entries." In this mode, switching themes will automatically change the colors accordingly. You can still manually change the colors by unchecking the box or modifying the values for the read theme entries; everything is customizable.
A preset storage function has been added to the bottom of the color modification menu: you can store multiple custom color presets, which are theme-independent and specific to the plugin's UI. These preset files are stored in a local cache path, so uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin will not result in their loss.
A feature has been added where hovering the mouse over a read theme entry allows you to preview its color. Whenever the mouse hovers over an item in the menu, the plugin panel temporarily changes the corresponding area to that item's color value. If you don't confirm the changes, the menu will revert to the unmodified state.
Hi,
- Not a bug, more like a UI issue:
The minimum scale option value (Dock Scale) is hard caped to 0.80, but I think it is still a little too large compare to the other component of the UI, at least for me!
- Suggestion: theme (colors) of the add on:
It Would have been great if it was possible to change the colors of the add on or let the add on follow blender's active theme colors, so it would look more cohesive with the rest of the panel.
PS: Thank you for sharing, very useful!
Hi Thanks for the prompt update, the file name hover display feature request is made by me.
However it has an issue, the file name hover display panel color is not following the color of other panels, so it's white all the time.
So if I change the text color to a bright one, it doesn't readable. Can we make the file name hover panel the same color as the main panel?
Thanks
