Animated, smooth color-transitioning rainbow frames | Fully vanilla | Config | Supports Jade, Enhanced & Chromatic Tooltips | MC 1.21.2+
⬇ Download on CurseForge
Overview
Chromatic Frames is a separate resourcepack that changes only the frames/borders of any inventory/game menu tooltip to loop through all the colors of the rainbow. Fully animated and no mods needed. Optional Jade, EnhancedTooltips & Chromatic Tooltips support. Can be configured with Respackopts.
Features
- Chromatic Tooltip Frames (in Inventory & Game Menu)
- Chromatic Frames for Jade's Create, Classic & Dark Themes
Jade custom themes can be disabled by setting the selected theme's style in Jade's settings to "slim". Additionally, a configuration guide for adjusting animation speed has been included.
Compatibility
- Gets overridden by Legendary & Obscure Tooltips, a supported alternative is EnhancedTooltips
- Acts as an add-on for many tooltip resourcepacks (e.g. Chromatic Tooltips)
- Made for 1.21.2+ as it relies on a recent vanilla feature for inventory tooltips
- Custom animated Jade themes only work on versions 1.21.6+
- Experimental support for Hypixel & Wynncraft (using another tooltip resourcepack with a default scaled tooltip background such as Chromatic Tooltips is recommended for those).
