  • Scroll the chat smoothly
  • Show saturation in food tooltips as gold outlined food icons, like AppleSkin

  • Move the target card back to the top center, below any boss bars
  • Show on the target card whether the item in hand is the right tool

  • Keep a cancelled background import from starting again by itself
  • Stop the game from crashing when the HUD settings or the gallery are opened before any world was loaded
  • Size the Arkea HUD for the window so it fits a 1920 x 1080 screen at any GUI scale
  • Make the F3 cards smaller and hide the location chip and target card behind them
  • Show the HUD larger in the settings previews and keep the Vanilla preview from being squashed
  • Keep crisp chat text and the chat above the taller Classic+ HUD
