Allow Bar Color customization to be token-based

Hi everyone,

The title pretty much says it all.

I've been running into an issue, that I think is mainly QoL but also probably very easy to implement (?).

Basically, in my game, characters can have all sorts of ressources:

• Energy, usually associated with a yellow color
• Rage, usually associated with a red color
• Mana, usually associated with a deep blue color
• Runic Power, usually associated with a light blue color

and I run into the issue of representation. Because it's only possible to change the General Bar Colors for all tokens, I can't use "Blue" for all tokens because it's not the color of Energy or Rage. So what I've done is used a generic light-grey color for all ressources, but I don't think it would be impossibly hard to make it so that a token's bar color is set in the token setting page, and is set to a default value (the general game value) until changed if need be.

The way I see it is:

The little colored dots next to Bar 1, Bar 2 and Bar 3 could be the same square entities as "Tint Color" for the auras below. That way, you can customize the way token bars look, especially in games that use different kinds of ressources. 

This issue may have been discussed before, I've searched on the forum for a bit but didn't find anything.

Cheers.

Apologies if you already know this but, as a gamemaster, you can change token status bar colors under the My Game Settings Gear tab.

Look below the Personalization & Display header and you'll see "Token Status Bar Colors" click on any one of the three buttons and set a hex value there. It will be global for all tokens in your game.

Because this setting is global for all tokens, I assume that's why the devs put it under the Gear tab on the right instead allowing you to change it in individual token settings dialog boxes.

On the other hand since status bars could represent different things for different tokens, you are allowed to set those three bars to different attributes on the base character sheet you've assigned to your game.

Thanks for your answer, and no worries. I do for a fact, know that Token Status Bar Color can be changed for every token in the General Settings.

What I was suggesting is a way to change it for each individual token. One token could have Green/Red/Grey bars and the other Green/Blue/Grey for instance.

Thanks for the suggestion!
