True per-window focus-aware transparency would require touching
ChatLogWindow and SettingsWindow individually (both upstream code,
both prone to cherry-pick churn). Instead expose a single opacity
slider that mixes a configured alpha into the WindowBg color in
PushGlobal — applies to every Hellion-rendered pane uniformly,
the game shines through, and form fields / dialogs / popups stay
opaque on top so input remains readable.
Default 92%, range clamped to 0.5–1.0 in the UI and 0x55–0xFF in
the alpha conversion so users can't accidentally make the panes
disappear entirely. Slider sits inside the Appearance section
right under the master Hellion-theme checkbox and is greyed out
when the theme is disabled.
Move from a local color stack inside Hellion-only surfaces to a
single push wrapping Plugin.Draw, so chat log, settings,
viewers, the file dialog and the wizard all render under the same
palette. The local Push() helper stays for explicit use, but the
two existing call sites (Privacy tab, FirstRunWizard) now drop
their local pushes — the global stack already covers them and
double-pushing would shift colors on every frame.
Palette grew from a single cyan accent into a three-tone HUD set:
Primary cyan-teal (#00B8D4) → buttons, checkboxes, slider grabs,
separator hover/active.
Secondary industrial amber → scrollbar grab and resize-grip
(#FFB300) hover/active highlights.
Tertiary slate violet → active title bars and active tabs
(#7B61FF) so identity beats out the cyan
accent without competing with it on
action controls.
Surfaces are deep slate (#0E1A20 windows, #102027 children, #162831
frames) with steel borders (#37474F). Style variables flatten the
default Dalamud rounding into something more geometric: 4 px window
rounding, 2 px frame/grab/tab/scrollbar, 1 px borders.
A new Configuration.HellionThemeEnabled (default true) and a
matching Appearance section at the top of the Privacy tab let users
turn the whole thing off and fall back to the Dalamud default look.
The flag is checked once per frame in Plugin.Draw — `using
IDisposable? _ = ... ? PushGlobal() : null` — so disabling has zero
overhead beyond a bool check.
ChatTwo's ColourUtil.RgbaToAbgr expects the input to be 0xRRGGBBAA
(see Settings.cs Ko-fi buttons, e.g. 0xFF5E5BFF for Ko-fi pink),
not 0xAARRGGBB. The previous palette was bit-shifted by one byte,
which is why the supposedly cyan-teal accents rendered as
half-transparent magenta in-game.
Replace the inherited upstream README with a Hellion-specific one
that lists the privacy/retention/cleanup/export features, links to
upstream and the relevant unanswered filtering issues, documents
the EUPL-1.2 license relationship, and acknowledges Infi & Anna for
the Chat 2 engine that everything builds on.
Add AI_DISCLOSURE.md with the goatcorp Pair classification, an
explicit list of what AI is and is not used for in this fork
(translations, visual assets and license-sensitive boundaries are
handled by the maintainer), and the tooling list. Drops in before
v0.1 so it's already in place when the repo goes public.
HellionStyle.Push() returns a disposable bundle of ImGui color
pushes (cyan-teal accents on a deep-slate frame with steel
borders) and pops them in reverse on Dispose. Privacy tab and the
first-run wizard wrap their Draw with `using var _style =
HellionStyle.Push()` so only Hellion-owned surfaces get the
HUD-flavored palette while upstream Chat 2 tabs render in their
original style — important so cherry-picks from upstream don't
fight with our color overrides.
