Allow labels to be drawn on top of tokens

[anon79340347]

Emoji ON tokens would be pretty amazing for flexibility. You can add a token name as an emoji which is amusing to use as is but how much cooler would it be if you could drop a bunch of emoji goblins on your players

Moved this feature request out from Different Shape Tokens since it’s fairly self-contained.

There’s been a little discussion of having labels drawn on top of tokens in a prior thread but there’s no thread dedicated to it until now. From Feature Request: Tokens with Art - #18 by johncs :

I’ve thought about making it so that when a token label could fit within a token, it renders on top of it like this. I think the interface would be a little weird, especially while editing the label, but it could help the label clutter for a decently common situation.

I haven’t given dev time to improving the label clutter in awhile, and this is just one possible solution to that problem, so I’m not sure whether it’s the best one/a good one to do.

In theory, it seems reasonable though. And is certainly a solution I plan to explore a bit when I turn my gaze to token labels again.

something like this for single character / emoji labels? could use the existing colour palette label logic to pick the font colour.

I’d love that - only issue I can think of is FoW indicator isn’t easy to see then… but on the other hand FoW on tiles under the current label is difficult to see so…
