Frequently asked questions

How do I change the tooltip color in Coloured Tooltips?

Open config/coloredtooltips-client.toml in your instance's config folder and edit the color value, which is written as an ARGB hex string. Save the file and the change applies to tooltips rendered through Forge's tooltip code.

What is an ARGB hex string and how do I write one?

It's a hex color like a normal RGB code but with two extra characters at the front for transparency, so the format is alpha-red-green-blue. For example, fully opaque white would start with FF followed by the RGB values.

What do the first two characters of the color value do?

They control the alpha, or transparency, of the tooltip background. Lower alpha values make the tooltip more see-through, while higher values make it more solid.

Why won't my tooltip color change after editing the config?

Make sure you edited coloredtooltips-client.toml and not another config file, and that you saved the file before relaunching. If the game was already running when you edited it, restart so the config is re-read.
