Configuration
Chromatic Subtitles creates its config at: config/chromaticsubtitles.toml. If a legacy Colorful Subtitles JSON config
exists at: config/colorfulsubtitles.json, it will be converted to: config/chromaticsubtitles.toml on first launch.
The legacy JSON file is left in place.
During development, an existing config/chromaticsubtitles.json file can also be converted to the new TOML format if no
TOML config exists.
Colors can be configured with the simple color form:
default_color = "white"
[colors]
music = "dark_purple"
record = "dark_red"
weather = "aqua"
block = "green"
hostile = "red"
neutral = "yellow"
player = "gold"
ambient = "gray"
voice = "light_purple"
ui = "blue"
or with the table form when a custom background color is needed:
default_color = "white"
[colors]
music = "dark_purple"
record = "dark_red"
[colors.weather]
text = "aqua"
background = "#002233"
[colors.hostile]
text = "red"
background = "#330000"
default_color also supports the table form:
[default_color]
text = "white"
background = "#000000"
Colors can be Minecraft formatting color names, such as dark_purple, or hex colors, such as #AA00AA.
