3 months ago dnd5e 3.0.x default sheets now feature a spectrum of color going from a safe blue color to a danger error color, depending on how full the bar is. There is also a very pleasing gradient on the filter. This is something that we should consider emulating.
The encumbrance bar is kind of just using the default sheet color and only customizes the experience a little. Consider one of the following options:

Monkeyy OP — 12/07/2023 7:16 AM This is kind of related to general aesthetic redesign, but is also an entirely new feature to Tidy5e so consider it a suggestion/feature request/stretch goal?
At the moment Tidy5e uses the same kind of generic blue encumbrance bar that the default sheet uses. I suggest co-opting (stealing) the bar redesign from @4535992's Variant Encumbrance + Midi module (pictured below). I tend not to use the Variant Encumbrance module due to its heavy calculation overhead, but from an aesthetic point of view I think it both looks good, and helps to better convey information on weight level through the colours. Since this would be purely visual (not applying active effects etc.) I think it could potentially fall within the realm of being added to the sheet itself.
Interested to hear anyone else's thoughts!

Monkeyy OP — 12/07/2023 11:13 AM 🫣 When I tried this before, I think I must have used the wrong combination of options. But yes, you can, thanks! I still think it is worth consideration of such a feature for the visuals of the sheet design.
An alternative would be replacing the bland blue colour with the sheet accent colour for example, making it more congruent 🙂
