Looking for small feature ideas + Themes Prototype
Hey everyone 👋
If you read my previous posts, you know that I really don't want to hide any important features of the Mod Manager behind a paywall. That's still my main rule, so the app will always stay free and fully functional for everyone.
At the same time, I really want to show my appreciation for those who support me here and give something extra back as a thank you. Finding things that aren't actually important for managing mods, but are still nice to have, is pretty hard to navigate.
So, I was hoping to get some ideas from you! What kind of small, non-essential stuff or cosmetic extras would you like to see as supporter perks?
To give you an example of what I mean: I just released the new Alpha version 2.1.2, which includes a new Theme System. It’s currently available for Silver and Gold Supporters (Tiers 2 and 3). You can pick from a couple of default themes or build your own custom look. I think this is a good example of something that's nice to have, but definitely isn't needed to manage your mod files.
If you want to try it out, you can download Alpha 2.1.2 directly through the Mod Manager if you have the Alpha Channel enabled, or grab it from the Alpha download page.
Since this is still a prototype, please let me know if you spot any areas in the app where the themes aren't fully integrated yet so I can fix them.
Anyway, let me know what you think of the themes, and if you have any ideas for other small features I could add, please leave a comment!

As part of the theme what about the ability to change the font or add a custom one? I thought of it because I was messing around with Gshade which also lets you make custom themes and you can select ttf files on your computer to change the font. I know nothing about programming so not sure if this is something complicated to implement but it would be a nice touch!
I'm already working on this. You'll be able to add custom fonts by including a TTF or OTF file with your theme. This should be available in one of the upcoming alpha releases, likely sometime next week.
Hi there! I have an issue with the finding duplicate files tool/exact same file tool. I just tested the issue by making a duplicate of a file that I know it can see, but nothing showed up when I refreshed the scan. However, the duplicate by name one works just fine though! What should I do? Thanks so much in advance :)
The manager won't recognize some of the cc that's downloaded and it won't download that specific file when I try to redownload it. even if I download the pack myself from the website it refuses to acknowledge it.
Hm strange. Could you please send me the files in question via Discord or E-Mail. I would like to reproduce the issue in order to fix it.
