The frob patcher only changes T3Main.exe, not any .ini files.
Does it just change certain lines, or does it rewrite the whole file? I don't like switching CDs back and forth, so I've already made a change to the .exe which I'd rather not lose.

It only updates a few locations in the current exe so you should be safe. just make a backup and you're safe in case it doesn't work out as you like

Should just overwrite the internal references to the frob shader, the rest of your changes shouldn't be affected. Best way to do it is just backing the file, trying the patcher and seeing if it works allright for you. If it doesn't, just restore the original file and there you go.

This is amazing - how fast Thief 3 modifications are coming It just came out a few days ago!

Yep...amazing what people can do when they're motivated by the effects of consolitis, eh? ;)
Hopefully Ion Storm (or whoever may or may not develop Thief 4) gets a clue and learns to do the PC version CORRECT next time...

Ok, I've run the frob patch, but honestly I don't see any real difference in-game. Could someone post a screenshot of what it should look like afterwards?

Um, select something...note the lack of blue. :rolleyes:

Maybe there's something I'm supposed to do but I'm not. I still see the blue frob. I unzipped the downloaded file, and ran the patch. Up popped a dos window saying hit a key to continue. I hit a key, window disappears. If it did anything, it was very fast. I've done it about three times now, and I still see the frob. Am I missing something?

I'd recommend people to try setting the frob color to 0.04 0.04 0.02
How did you determine those values? I know zilch about pixel shading, but I wouldn't mind testing a few settings. Is there a reference or software you use to determine values?
Many thanks to Myagi... the patch works perfectly. And thank you Mr. K for providing it.
