Title: [+][SUG][ED] Styles sorting in folding menu
Post by: Guigui on February 24, 2026, 10:16:52 AM
First I need to give many thanks for the new Style Refresh feature, it is brilliant.

Next in the styles selection folding menu, I understand that the original styles are at the top of the list, and that some special styles (named Special_xxxx) are at the the end.

Here come things :

1) Is it on purpose that the WL specific styles are also at the end ?

2) The lower-case styles are sorted after the upper-case ones. This makes it harder to find some styles if one does not remember how exactly they are written. Screen :

3) I created a new style named "Sonic", upper-case, and it appears among the lower-case ones. Screen :

4) In this new style "Sonic" I created no object at all, so it uses the default ones. But the exit does not appear in those default objects. Though the flag appears twice. This is the case with most styles I tried that do not include their own exit object. Screen :

5) Finally, the number of available styles is huge. Why not make the unfolding menu much higher to see much more of them at once ?

You're very welcome. Glad to know it's coming in useful :)

Yes, I set up my styles.ini so that the WL styles are at the end, and I just go ahead and ship my copy of styles.ini with NLCE/SuperLemmix for the simple reason that I regularly keep it up to date, so it usually contains every known style.

You can arrange the styles however you like by heading to Tools > Style Manager in the Editor. Here you will see a list of all the styles as arranged in styles.ini. You can add new styles, pin to top or bottom, sort, arrange, and rename them however you like. This will then get saved to your own personal copy of styles.ini (which is found in the styles folder itself).

The lower-case styles at the end of the list are ones that are present in the styles folder but not in the styles.ini file. To fix this, again go to Style Manager and choose "Add Style". You will then see a list of all style folders that haven't yet been added to the styles.ini and you can add them, rename them, and sort them into your list.

Yes, there is no default Exit object. Perhaps we should fix that. I'd suggest using the Pillar exit as default, since the Entrance and Water objects in the default style are both from Pillar. Crystal would also work well, as its arguably the most generic-looking of all the OG exits. Open to suggestions on this.

Sure, we can do that. I'll increase it by 10 or so for the next update.
