Chromatics 3.0.3

Please uninstall Chromatics 2 before installing Chromatics 3, or extract Chromatics 3 to a new location.

While Chromatics 3 is in beta, only the portable version will be available for download

Documentation
Please find the new Chromatics 3 documentation here.

Prerequisites
.NET 6 Desktop Runtime
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2022

Important Notes
This is a pre-release version of Chromatics 3.0, as such it is expected that there will be bugs, possibly major bugs which can cause crashes or other stability. While I've done my best to test all the features extensively for stability, every PC is different and I can't possibly account for every variation - that's why we do these Beta releases! If you do come across issues, please let me know by posting in this channel.

Chromatics 3.x is a complete rebuild of Chromatics from the ground up and should be considerably more CPU & memory efficient than 2.x. However please keep an eye on performance and report any issues you find, especially when running for a long time.

Changes

• Support for FFXIV 6.4
• Updated RGB.NET to latest developer build.

Known Bugs
Theses are bugs that I have already identified and don't need to be reported on.

• Important: Chromatics may take up to 30 seconds to fully shut down and restore lighting to defaults upon closing or updating.
• Previewing layers on a device excessively can cause the lighting to flicker.
• Layer help text doesn't always scale to the rich text box correctly.
• Interface can lag when dragging and resizing the window on high resolution monitors with non-standard DPI's.
• When changing key mappings on a layer, sometimes you need to disable and re-enable the layer or preview the layer before the lighting will apply.
• When de-selecting keys from a layer, they appear gray instead of taking the colour of the base layer. Previewing the layers should fix this.
• Only one keyboard layout en-us is available on the mapping tab. This is a QWERTY keyboard so if you use a different layout, such as AZERTY you will need to map keys accordingly.
• Lighting may flicker at times.
