- Q: Can I change the color of the text?

- Q: Will this addon affect my FPS?
- A: No. vNotePad is built to be extremely lightweight. It only runs intensive "OnUpdate" logic when you are actively interacting with the window (moving or resizing). When idle, it consumes virtually zero CPU.
- Q: Is there a limit to how much I can write?
- A: Each page supports up to 99,999 characters. You can track your current character count in the bottom-right corner of the window.
- Q: Can I use this with other UI addons like ElvUI?
- A: Yes. vNotePad is a standalone frame that acts like any other WoW window. It is fully compatible with major UI suites like ElvUI, Bartender, and WeakAuras.
- Q: Does vNotePad support cross-realm notes?
- A: Yes. Because the notes are stored at the Account Level (not the character level), any notes you write on one character will be immediately available when you log onto another character on the same account.
