📋 About This Mod
Features
The FOMOD installer gives you the option to highlight the reference that you currently have selected using the console in a variety of different colours and transparencies. Specifically, these colours are:
- []Black
[
]Blue[]Cyan
[]Green
[]Magenta
[]Red
[]White
[]Yellow
All this mod does is change the iConsoleSelectedRefColor INI setting using an empty light-plugin, so as to not contribute to your load order. Therefore, you can easily add this setting to your Fallout4Custom. INI yourself instead of installing this mod, like so:
iConsoleSelectedRefColor = 0xAABBGGRR
The colour is written in a hexadecimal format, where:
-
[]AA: Alpha
[
]BB: Blue[]GG: Green
[]RR: Red
The console reference will remain highlighted for as long as it is selected, even when the console is closed. If you do not already have a Fallout4Custom. INI, or the setting itself, then you can go ahead and create them yourself.
To make things easy, all you have to do is use the FOMOD installer to pick the colour and transparency that you like, and then copy over the settings to your Fallout4Custom. INI. Once you've done that, you no longer need this mod. That is, unless you want to change your settings later.

Requirements
- []Fallout 4 version 1. 10. 162+
This requirement is only for the empty light-plugin that is used to apply the INI setting. Earlier versions of the game do support the INI setting itself, if you wish to manually add it to your Fallout4Custom. INI.
