It's weird. If i change directly the value in Core folder the changes shows.

But if i do a simple mod (only Defs\HistoryAutoRecorderDefs\HistoryAutoRecorders.xml) and load only this one mod (with CCL if it matters) it seems that my changes doesn't override vanilla value

thx myself and everyone on the Slack o7

Ahh, you just had to remove the RGBA from the xml.  It may have also worked by limiting the range for the values used in RGBA from 0.0-1.0.

Glad you got it working though.

[kaptain_kavern]

Yep thx

Looks like talking to myself in the Help section actually help me :p

and thanks for the insight

Next future goal for me : use colorpicker from CCL in order to let user choose colours himself

It always helps to have a rubber duck.

kaptain, see my relations tab ModConfigMenu and the CCL MiniMap ModConfigMenu implementations for how to call the ColorPicker, it's a bit tricky because a wrapper and callback are needed for the Color struct.

Thank you friend.

I will take note of that and i will re read it when i feel able to understand (after digging where you told me)
I will may be need to talk to myself in this thread again. Sorry ^^
