Aura Customizer

The Aura Customizer extension is a free, optional enhancement to the Auras Visualized extension.  This extension is intended to be edited by the useruser, and so is not packaged in the traditional .ext format.  Aura Customizer can be downloaded at the link below.  The reason this extension is not offered on the forge is that any changes made to the forge product could be overwritten by the FG update process.

Download and Install

Download the extension zipfilezip file HERE.

Extract the zip directly to the Fantasy Grounds extensions folder.  This should create a new folder "AuraCustomizer" in the extensions folder that contains the files.
