Research Tab Colors

Description

This mini-mod adds color coding based on tech level to the vanilla research window!

The color codes are based on the research projects' tech level and is intended to help identify tech levels when used in conjunction with mods like Tech Advancing.

Technical Details

This mod uses a single Harmony transpiler on MainTabWindow_Research.ListProjects and replaces the invocation of Widgets.CustomButtonText with a pass-through method that changes the bgColor field based on the tech level of the research projects and whether it is finished, available, or unavailable. This mod will not do anything if you are not using the vanilla research tab.

Links

This mod was created for Killadrix[www.twitch.tv], a RimWorld streamer on Twitch.tv. If you drop in, tell him, "the head maid sends her regards".

Seems that Vanilla Research Panel - Queue overwrites this mod (not via patch) so there are no colors.

@Dawnmist maybe someone can create a patch for Anomaly specifically?

@Aelanna - thank you! I can confirm that it's working nicely for me now, and I really appreciate you implementing it. :)

@Dawnmist - Thanks for the report, this should be fixed now!

I love the colors - but with the new books in Anomaly it's possible to be part way through researching multiple things at the same time. The base game shows the progression of the research as an progress bar/shading on the skill, but this mod is currently hiding that progression. i.e. if the research topic is 20% researched, the left 20% of the topic would be coloured as if the research was complete, and the other 80% as if it wasn't complete, so that progress to completion can be seen without having to click on the topic to check it.

Would it be possible to update this mod to also show the progress of each research in the research view, so we can have both visibility of progress AND the color coding based on tech level?
