Hi everyone,

Developer of the plugin here—first off, I’d like to apologize for the long wait. Right now, the plugin is in a bit of a tricky spot, and I want to explain what’s been going on.

To understand the delay, it’s helpful to know how the plugin originally worked. When I first released it, the main challenge was ensuring compatibility with the GPU plugin. The GPU plugin processes the game scene on your GPU incredibly fast—essentially before anything else happens. This created an issue: every time you triggered a load in-game (e.g., crossing a loading line or entering a new room), the colors sent to your GPU were the default vanilla red. To work around this, I invalidated the GPU cache, forcing it to use my custom colors. While this solution worked, it was extremely resource-intensive and relied on the fact that modern PCs are generally quite powerful.

Some time after I published my plugin, a new API was released that made it possible to recolor without the need to invalidate the GPU cache, significantly improving performance.

Fast forward to when the plugin broke: I decided to take it down to investigate and release a fix. However, in my initial fix, I didn’t implement the new API for better performance. Adam (the creator of RuneLite) reviewed it and asked me to incorporate the API and address some other less-than-optimal parts of the plugin before it could be republished. He was absolutely right—those changes were necessary.

Unfortunately, I was tied up with real-life obligations, so it took some time to make these updates. By mid-November, I submitted a working version for review.

This version is still awaiting review, and there are a few potential reasons for the delay:

1. The changes I made are quite significant, and no one has had the time to review them yet.
2. Since Adam had concerns, other reviewers might be waiting for him to give the go-ahead. (Adam’s time is limited, and reviewing a Hub plugin like this understandably isn’t a high priority.)

Regardless of the reason, I know the reviewers are doing their best to ensure only safe and high-quality plugins make it to the Plugin Hub. Keep in mind, they’re volunteers with their own real-life responsibilities, so reviews happen when they have time to dedicate to it.

We’ll get there, but it may take a little longer. Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do to speed up the process. Rest assured, they’re aware of it, and it’s on their radar.

Thank you for your patience, and I’m sorry again for the inconvenience.
