Spit & Polish

A thin layer over Foundry VTT v14's own interface. It keeps core's calm, floating layout and smooths out its small inconsistencies instead of replacing it the way full UI overhauls do.

Features

• One edge line: everything floating over the canvas sits 16px from the screen edges.
• One look: consistent spacing and corners; the chat input matches the players list.
• No shadows: no text or box shadows in the interface and around windows. Sheets and chat cards keep their own.
• Even sidebar folders: nested folders line up, marked only by their colour stripe.
• Chat input: separate mode buttons, a shorter expanded input, and the formatting bar hidden by default (keyboard shortcuts still work).
• Macro bar: adjustable size, and an optional auto-hide: move the pointer to the screen edge under the bar to open it. The pin tab next to the open bar, or the Pin macro bar keybinding (no default key), keeps it open.
• Token HUD effects: names beside status icons in a wider palette, sorted alphabetically.

Module support

• Dice Tray: a neat row of equal buttons below the chat input.
• Token Action HUD: the look of the macro bar and scene controls, without glows. Flyouts open centred above the HUD at a steady width. TAH's Custom and High Contrast styles are left alone. An auto-hiding macro bar stays open while the pointer moves from it onto the HUD.
• Visual Active Effects: effect icons as regular interface buttons next to the sidebar, one column per kind of effect, with Foundry's own tooltip. VAE's offset and icon size settings no longer apply.

System support

• dnd5e chat cards: a thin frame with rounded corners instead of a thick bottom bar; whispers, blind rolls and emotes keep dnd5e's colour on the left edge. Card actions fill the card as full-size buttons with their labels, Apply and the damage multipliers match, and all share one bold label style.

Settings

All settings are per user and apply without a reload.

Requirements

• Foundry VTT v14
