    Excuse me Picky, but where might one find the elusive "AppData"? I did a computer-wide search and didn't find anything that had to do with Vortex. It certainly isn't in the Vortex root directory. I seem to be at a loss as to where I might locate the required folder. Thank you for your time.

      Do Windows + R and type %appdata%

    If the folder doesn't exist, you must create it. You can also download this via the "Find more" button on the extensions screen.

    Because it's something I slapped together in about an hour? :P

    Alright. Thank you for the answer. That was pretty much what I thought the code was showing as well. Worth a shot, though.

    Maybe I'll take a look at the code again and see how rusty my knowledge is (haven't even looked at CSS in 6 years). I wonder if some kind of condition could be added. If light flag is active, then background is blah,blah,blah color. Maybe even make the text a faded grey or something. Eh, I'll look. Can't hurt to try after I get my modlist finished and working together (installing on a new machine).

    Hey,

    As far as I know, the only thing that tells you it's a light plugin is the icon. The best you can do is use the "flag" filter to show only light plugins.

    I don't see the themes folder, may I ask how I can add them?

    Hi pickysaurus,
    You seem to be well versed in this so I will ask you. I have a tendency not to "see" the flag for light/espfe/esl mods. Whether out of willful ignorance or a floating blindspot I have in my eye. Is there any way to actually change the mod name background or even the entire entry row for a light mod to a different color, that way they are easier to identify? I had thought to use the developer tools to change it, but my CSS is rusty at best and a cursory examination of the code did not seem to differentiate between light mod's and regular mod's background colors. Not a huge deal if it can't be done (at least with my current (laughable) skills in CSS. Its more of a convenience issue.

    Thank you for the colours anyway to get high contrast colour themes?

    Thanks Picky, it makes sense that there is a color theme for the Nexus site. You should bundle this with Vortex itself
    However, it's best to be able to install themes and translation files by drag and drop like extensions. Until then, you can bundle the following batch command for the user (I'm using this script in Vortex translation, seems useful enough for the user).
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    @echo off
    if "%APPDATA%" == "" goto LERROR
    if "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%" == "" goto LERROR

    set DEST1=%APPDATA%\Vortex
    set DEST2=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Vortex

    echo (Some description here)
    pause

    xcopy /S /Y ".\themes\*.*" "%DEST1%\themes\"
    if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto LERROR
    xcopy /S /Y ".\themes\*.*" "%DEST2%\themes\"
    if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto LERROR

    echo Installation succeeded!
    goto LEND

    :LERROR
    echo Installation failed...
    goto LEND

    :LEND
    pause

    I like that Skyrim has a colour named after it
