Looks good to me. I have tested 2 situations:

1. embark screen
2. mass migration

I was worried that during mass migration, when most of the migrants are off-screen, they wouldn't be shown after the changes. But they are shown, as they used to be.

Migrants that did not enter the map yet are in the "active" vector but with an "inactive" flag. The whole migration wave should still be shown as soon as the migrants are announced.

New version released: 40.1.2

Bug fixes

Changelog:

• removed memory layouts for DF 0.42.05 and older
• fixed unit list during embark and fortress mode
• fixed "Armor (any)" and "Clothing (any)" preferences

Custom roles or columns created since 40.0.0 using "Armor (any)" or "Clothing (any)" preferences are broken. Delete the preference from the role or grid view and re-add it again to fix them.

Windows builds are also available on DFFD (win32, win64).

• added focus and needs in the dwarf tool-tip (optional)
• added focus and need columns

Wonderful, managing needs should be so much simpler now. Thank you.

I made a copy of the needs gridview and added a bunch of labors to it (like bonecarving next to crafting need) and moved a few things up and down. Reread, closed and reopened the grid and then therapist itself, the needs stay white with tooltip "not needed" while the added labors look normal. Doing it the other way around, adding a need to another custom gridview, which is a wild mix of roles, traits and labors, has the need column working just fine, edit: nope, after restarting the crafting need column now displays happiness level. The original needs view works. What am I doing wrong with my new needs grid, I only started playing around with custom grids a few days ago?

To install the new therapist I emptied the dt folder of all files, moved everything from the new download there, left the folder under appdata alone. Peridexis LNP 0.44.12-r01, windows 7, 64 bit

I did see that bug during development, but I forgot to fix it. Sorry, a fix will be coming soon.

[Rafatio]

Good to hear its not me. No matter, in the few minutes since posting I'm already deeply in love with the new features, even if they're a little clumsy to use until its fixed. My dwarfs love the targeted crafting program too :-)

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this in a thread where you're testing and announcing a major update, but:

Every once in a while I'll see a screenshot with a dark grey "night mode" Dwarf Therapist. It looks glorious.
Unfortunately, asking around, it seems it is Windows High Contrast mode, which plays very badly with some other things I use (and in playing with it just now, it didn't seem like DF/DFHack/DT liked it much either. I had some really long input entry lags.)

Is there a feature like that in Win64 DT that I just can't find, or some simple setting I can change in a file? A proper night mode, say bay12forum grey or brown background, would be a valuable quality of life improvement for me and I believe many others who are likely to play in the dark with old eyes.

This must be the adwaita dark theme I use on Linux, I don't think you will find it for Windows. This is done with Qt style plugins. I've made this simple fusion dark style plugin for testing dark themes on Windows (it is based on this palette). Place the plugin (fusion_dark.dll) in a "styles" directory in DT install dir. Then create a shortcut to Dwarf Therapist.exe and edit it: add " -style fusiondark" (without the quotes) at the end of the Target. There is also this style that I could try to turn into a plugin. Or you can try making a style sheet.

Edit: Jorgen-VikingGod/Qt-Frameless-Window-DarkStyle as a plugin (without the frameless window part and normal font size), same as above place the dll in the styles directory and start DT with "-style darkstyle".

[clinodev]

Thank you so much, Clément, the fusion_dark.dll method suits me very well!

Is this something I can share widely, perhaps after hosting the file on DFFD so as not to strain your filehost?

This will work very well for me, but I still think it would be a good idea to include an option like this internally in the settings. I spend enough time answering questions in the /r/dwarffortress subreddit to know the simple 4 step installation process you laid out would put many people off.

Thank you again!

[Clément]

I edited my message while you were posting, there is a second plugin to test.

I should be possible to add a style selection in the options. On Windows, I think the built-in styles are "windows", "windowsvista", "fusion".

[clinodev]

DarkStyle has better popups; I'll use that one.

Thanks again!

Are custom grids supposed to be fixed in this version? They're differently broken now. Trashed my old needs(COPY) and made a new one. Not empty this time but every column displays what the first, socialize, correctly shows. The tooltips also read "spending time with people" no matter which need. Thats right after copying, haven't changed a thing yet, just refreshed and restarted.

Default needs view continues to be unaffected. And this time needs columns added to a different grid seem to keep working. Its definitely improving.

Edit: weird, I could break the seemingly working mixed-grid-with-two-needs by adding a labor, white needs again. Removing the labor again fixed it. Bonecarving if it matters. There are already several labors on this grid, only adding another breaks it. Adding a skill instead broke only one of the two needs, seems rather unpredictable.

[Clément]

I forgot to fix the copying for the need. Only the saving part was fixed. It's uploading.

For the labor issue, test again with the next version when it is available. If there is still an issue, export your custom gridview, and copy its content here (use a [​code] tag).
