I made a version of this mod with settings support (the fluid colors in the names was what bugged me personally, too distracting).

notnotmelon, I don't really want to fork (and maintain) this, I'd much prefer if you'd just pull the changes into your version. If you want you can also give me collab status here and I can do it for you, but it's really just uploading the zip as everything is ready made (hopefully).
