Making a whole thread since I might add to these or improve on them in the future. These took me minutes to conceptualize and/or modify so please understand that they will not be perfect and will likely even cause some bugs depending on the context you use them in. For example, other addon config, game settings, operating system, etc can change how these work. For that reason please always back existing files up before replacing them.

Description: I keep my item reader on the right, so it was pretty annoying to have no option to right-align the text. This modification for the item reader does a fine job at that for me, If you use other features of the item reader like the inventory or mag reader it will likely make them unusable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. You also may have to mess with the position values in your item reader settings if things don't show up as expected, I barely tested this outside of with my own settings.

Instructions: Take the Item Reader/init.lua and solylib/helpers.lua and put them in the corresponding folders in your EphineaPSO/addons directory (replace the existing ones after backing up originals).

This shit is annoying:

When you're in the game's main menu, the addon UI just goes all white and is hard af to see. According to Ender, Soly fixed this issue in the source code but never re-deployed a new version. I built the Release version from source and it fixes it for me. Will it do the same for you? Probably. But make sure you back up your shit first just in case.
Instructions: put the dinput8.dll and dinput8.pdb files into your EphineaPSO directory. Restart game.

I have no idea why this is not a toggleable setting by default (at least I don't think it is). Addons menu is set to always be visible when you first launch the game:

This change will make it so that it starts invisible (as if you've toggled it off with the `~ key), and it's so simple I am not even going to provide you the file just instructions on how to change it:
  1. Navigate to your ...\EphineaPSO\addons\core_mainmenu\ folder
  2. Right click the init.lua file and open it with any text editor (like Notepad or Notepad++)
  3. Modify the line that says local window_open = true to instead say local window_open = false
  4. Save the file
  5. Restart your game if it's already running I guess

Don't use this, they introduced the /banner chat command to disable other peoples' drop banners for yourself. Coincidence that they changed that right after I provided this workaround???? Yes actually.

Description: I found server-wide banners annoying since they happen so often and there is for some reason no setting to disable them despite the admins already having the capability to do so. As such, this is a copy of the xpbar addon with settings changed such that there is a translucent bar at the top of your screen that will effectively hide server banners. The bar is translucent so it looks a bit less intrusive than an entirely black bar while still hiding the banner text enough that I really don't notice the banners during normal gameplay.

Instructions: Put the entire XpBar2 folder into your addons folder. Don't change the folder name or it won't work.

If you have any questions, please keep them to yourself I'm really not trying to put that kind of effort into this. /hj

updated with "Base Plugin - Fix Whiteout In Menu"
 
Added "Start Game With Addon Settings Menu Closed" and deprecated "Server Banner Hider".
 
BTW, it wasn’t a coincidence that the /banner command was added after your add-on debut. You were the inspiration, rich. You were the goal. YOU WERE THE ENDGAME.

We have /banner all because of you and your determination to hide those banners.

Salute!
