#OverlayPlugin Themes

Hosting on the web

Hey guys i decided to start pushing all of the udpates to a web hosted solution so by pointing at the Hosted Docs we can keep everyone up to date without having to have you guys download the files every time.

The Base URL is http://ffxiv.evileeyore.com/

If you want to use RDMTY then you would put in http://ffxiv.evileeyore.com/rdmty_default.html

Updates in the future will make this simpler and allow things like http://ffxiv.evileeyore.com/rdmty

Usage

git clone or download the ZIP package to a directory (i.e. your ACT directory)

In ACT -> Plugins -> OverlayPlugin.dll settings, for URL, browse to the folder where you extracted the ZIP and then select the HTML file of your choice.

Contributing Your Own Layouts

Naming

Give your HTML files a descriptive name, i.e. your tag_description.html Use a single CSS and JS file for all of your similar themes.

• CSS - your tag.css
• JS - your tag.js

Future

In order to make it easier to maintain, as well as customize, let's try to standardize the layouts. Let's split the HTML file into separate CSS and JS files (use rdmty_compact_dps.html as an example for now).

In In the future, React will probably be dropped in favor of something a bit more familiar (probably just templates using handlebars). However if you are going to be using a framework please inlcude your source files so we can help contribute to keeping the files up to date. IE: .jsx files.

If you want to build a bit complexity and want more than 1 app js file please create a folder for yourself under app/YOUR_OVERLAY/ This will help keep the repo as clean as possible.

Directory Structure

• app - Your JS application files (not third party libraries)
• css - CSS files
• images - Any image resources should be put in here
• lib - JS library files

The user currently has only one interface to customize the layout from ACT (without modifying any files): selecting the HTML file. Make the HTML file as descriptive as possible and try to not modify much code in the HTML file (besides customization variables and CSS/JS file names). This way, if we were to get support for more customization options in ACT plugin, it would be easier to modify the themes for this.
