FAQ:

Q: What is Fresnel?
A: It's the sheen you get when you fold velvet - I have no idea how that affects metal, but Dragon Bone has a setting of 20. Generally 0-1 has most effect on the material - it's like there are diminishing returns on the amount you set, so 10 isn't much more than 2, for example. 

Q: How do the colours work?
A: Think of the tint is the base colour, and the fresnel as a layer that floats above it, the fresnel determines;
  • how shiney the metal is and, 
  • the colour of that shineyness.
Using this information you can create iridescent effects.

Q: What does the "White" setting do?
A: I don't know.

Q: How do I replicate the colour of Ice Dragon Bone from Jaws of Hakkon?
A: That should be these settings:
Tint: 12:15:56
Fresnel 403:97:29
Fresnel amount: 6
Yes, that says 403 out of 255. I don't understand it either.

Q: How do I replicate the colour of Veil Quartz from Jaws of Hakkon?
A: That should be these settings:
Tint: 62:498:62
Fresnel: 200:60:1
Fresnel amount: 6

OPTIONAL
How to save your choices:
Get Notepad++ from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download (DO NOT USE NORMAL NOTEPAD, it will break the mod)
Open the daimod in Notepad++

* If you search for this: 
public void ConstructUI(ModConfigElementsList ConfigElementsList)
The next line is where the menu begins.

* As you can see, the menu text is in the middle of the line, that's exactly what appears on the menu. You are literally changing the menu here. Read that to see what you're changing - if you want to change what the menu says, you can. See below, where it says "Metal_to_Change" and "Metal to Change"? Well the first one is the variable (don't change it) and the second one is text that appears on the menu (put what you want, but make sure the inverted commas remain), the third one, typeof, is the name of the dropdown list that it uses, Metal_Names. In this case, 13 is the default value that will appear on the menu.

* The number at the end of each line is different depending on what you have to input, like this;
• For the ones where there is a dropdown list, the number at the end of the line is the item number on the dropdown list. Example;
ConfigElementsList.AddEnumElement ( "Metal_to_Change", "Metal to Change ",     typeof(Metal_Names), 13 );

• It's confession time. I cheated on the menu. See where it tells you to input a value between 0.0 and 1.25 for Fresnel? You can put whatever you like upto 50.
In the code, look for a line like this one below. The value at the end of the line is xx, 0.0f, 50.0f - don't change that, but DO change the xx (you need to be between the other two numbers - remember to put an f on the end (this stands for "Floating Point" and is a numerical representation that computers use).
ConfigElementsList.AddFloatElement ( "FresnelAmount", Fresnel Amount\t(0.0-1.25)",20f, 0.0f, 50.0f);
The numbers at the end of the line are what you are looking for (highlighted in bright green), here 20f is the default, 0.0f is min, 50.0f is max.

• Where you put RGB values, just separate them with colons. Easy peasy. Apparently, the game goes upto about 410, rather than 255 as most of us believed. I don't know what's going on with that.
ConfigElementsList.AddStringElement ( "TintMetalRGB", "Tint Colour\tR:G:B", "0:0:204" ); 

• If you have to input Tint White, put a number between 255 (although it'll accept anything, you will crash the mod manager if you do something daft here - there is no sanity checking - ye... maybe it should do something... ).
ConfigElementsList.AddStringElement ( "TintMetalWhite", "Tint White\t(0-255)", "0" );

Done.
