Hey, I just wanted to ask for a feature because a couple users in my collection suggested it.
There should be a toggle for the label UI, because it's quite large and intrusive. Or allow it to minimize (which should save across all different objects until u refocus it yourself)
There is a toggle. If you want to toggle it live in-game you'll need the Mod Manager - Phone App. If not you can edit it in the MelonPreferences.cfg but it requires a game restart.
please more colors or the possibility to customize them myself, i tried it but then all colors are white, i used HEX codes for colors like you did, but i only get white after changing, would like to be able to customize the colors myself
An idea for a future update if its technically possible:
An option to make the Labels bigger. You have to get quite near the storage to read the labels, I would love to edit the font and label size itself because of that.
I kept them this size for realism sake as labels of this size would be found in shelves like this. But I can definitely add an option to increase the size. Just to get some user feedback, would it be better to have a global size tag that increases the size of all labels, or each label to have its own size.
I mean it could be nice to edit it individually per storage, but I wouldnt mind a general "make all labels/font" bigger. Idk if its possible, but for realism there could be some sort of metal sign behind it
Jumping in with my two cents as a visually impaired player!
There are two ways you could do that I think would work best from a UI standpoint a. Categorical label settings like the following would make sure labels match across their category of container SHELF/STATION/ETC. LABELS
--> Label size
--> Font size
--> Background color
--> Font color
b. While the storage/station/etc. is open, add a little "label settings" button to open a pop-out UI panel with the same settings as above, BUT!! I'd suggest adding an "apply [size, font size, bg color, etc.] to all [shelf, station, etc.] labels" button next to each option individually so that you can make ALL of your storage labels the same size/color/etc at once if you want. I'd personally hate having to match all of my settings one label at a time, it'd feel really really clunky that way imo, but I also know this solution requires a LOT more code to set up.
A would be far easier on the development side, would be the right amount of options for a lot of people, and I'd personally be beyond happy with that amount of customization. B is certainly a lot of work, and is overkill for most people without accessibility needs, but would be cool in terms of maximizing accessibility.
I like collaborating on small scale accessibility work so I'm down to talk more about it if there's anything you're curious about lol <3
Yeah, I changed the way the label gets updated. Figured that accidental mistakes while editing the label wouldn't get registered unless the user hits enter.
I'm really glad you like the mod. Right now, the code is a massive 2k line file, so I'm rebuilding it from scratch to make it more modular and easier to maintain. As part of that, I'm planning to support all types of storage: tables, cabinets, and of course, safes too.
HI, I'm same as Dzionse. Absolutely loving you mod as it makes shelving more useful.
I have a request to make. Can you make the text box unselected by default? the reason is when using the packager MK2 (and only that) if you start packing items without clicking outside the text field then when your done the label is just "dddddddddddd".
I didn't want to add it to the bug section as its not a bug. thanks JM
My only feedback would be is when a shelf is accessed, the label text is highlighted by default which can cause you to have a mis-input and delete you label name. Which you know if you are spamming E for trash pickup near your pots - this can happen very easily lol
Any way to change this ? Worth a thought anyways !

Cheers!
Some sort of quick minimize feature would still definitely be cool though if you ever had the time.
Cheers!

trying to do it in main menu now.
Uninstall and reinstall the mod.
EDIT: All of a sudden it works after I tried using it on a work station instead of shelves.
EDIT2:Figured out what I did wrong, wasn't pressing enter after typing the label.

"Auto focus input" = false

Check the mod description under installation
Also could we get configuration to disable the mod for certain objects. Such as containers versus stations?
Fixed the UI positioning and added separate settings for stations and storage.
