Give your buildings a fresh coat of paint
Guide: Your first paintjob
• Recolor Menu can be found in the calendar HUD 🖌️
• With recolor open, Left-Click a building to select it, select a pallet color and hit apply.
Global Paint Brush Tool
Left-Click to apply your selected pallet color to a building.
Right-click building's to eyedrop it's global color for reuse; Escape cancels the tool.
Mesh Overrides
• Click More > to see mesh options for the selected building.
• Each mesh uses the global color by default, original or otherwise; Browse and select a building's individual meshes, select a pallet color to preview that change, and use the right apply buttons in Edit Mesh to override the selected mesh with the active color.
• Once done, you can save the selected Building's full color template in Mesh Templates tab for reuse.
Preview your color pallet choice before applying it to the building.
Mesh Eyedrop Tool
• Left click to copy a building's mesh overrides and left click again to spread them to other instances of the same building—Right click goes back a stage or exits the tool; Escape cancels anytime.
• Loading a saved Mesh Template will load it to the mesh eyedrop tool, ready to go.
Both paint tools can be added to Tool Shortcuts & Not Enough Keybinds' live rebind can give them binds.

[FRESH ICONS] * Recolor's menu buttons now use a white artist-palette icon 🎨 * Gave Mesh Eyedropper a distinct cube-and-pipette icon in the toolbar and Recolor menu, so it's easier to tell apart from existing vanilla icons. [FIXES] * Global Paint and Mesh Eyedropper shortcuts now toggle their tools consistently, with their highlights matching the active tool. * The toolbar Recolor button now opens and closes the menu on every click, with its highlight matching the open window. * Oversized paint-tool selections now show the 256-building limit while dragging and keep the warning visible after release.

* Added search bar to mesh template library. Search by building name to find existing templates; right click to clear the search. [IMPORT/EXPORT] * Added a simple Import/Export for mesh templates; Give the export a name, and import it to other saves. * Importing adds to existing worlds templates while skipping duplicates and no longer-available buildings. Importing does not remove existing saved templates in a world. * Delete a selected exported library file from the import/export popup, with a confirmation showing its filename. Templates saved in your world are not removed by this process. [RECOLOR MENU BUTTON SETTINGS] * Choose Calendar, Tools, or Both for the Recolor menu button. Left-click opens the palette; right-click opens the expanded library. * Optionally open the palette when activating either paint-tool shortcut. * Translates the new controls and help across all 21 supported languages. * 1.0.9b added a couple missing tooltips from original 1.0.9 release.

Changelog
* Verified compatibility with Captain of Industry 0.8.7d. [PAINT TOOLS] * Global Paint and the application stage of Mesh Eyedropper now support single clicks or area dragging. * Both tools can work with Recolor closed. Toolbar shortcuts no longer force the menu open, and closing the menu keeps the active tool and active pallet/mesh-template. Close the tool, not just the menu, to stop painting. [MESH TEMPLATE LIBRARY] * New expanded Mesh Template view with four cards per row and building groups. Open it directly by right-clicking Recolor's calendar button, or use the title-bar expand button. * Groups templates by building type; expand to see all saved templates per building and drag handles to reorder building groups or individual templates within a group. * When expanding a building group, Dims other groups to 50% opacity for better readability. Restore full opacity when collapsed. * Save Mesh Template buttons available in both Edit Mesh or mesh template tab. * Added a Settings option to return to Edit Mesh after loading a template or to keep library view open for repetitive mesh painting. * Raise the template limit from 40 to 512 with cached thumbnail preview sequencing. [LANGUAGE] * Complete the library and area-paint translations across all 21 supported languages and update tooltips for the new workflow.
