A theme editor coming for Ndless 3.1

[Levak]

You may not noticed that Theme Editor was silently updated in order to add the Random and Invert features, both on the entire colors and only one color from the color picker. Keys are obviously "i" and "r". Also, I added a dummy readme.

I'm surprised nobody made a version of the Windows 3.1 Hotdog Stand theme with this!

Nice themes guys

[critor]

Do you think that it is too long to design a full replacement theme for the TI-Nspire, having to understand and customize those hundreds of widgets ?

Then the last build from Levak is for you!
You can now randomize current/all colors in order to automatically build your own theme by pressing 'r' in the editor.

It seems I'm lucky this evening - 1st hit on the 'r' key gave me this:

Seems you did get lucky--when i was trying it last night it took me about four times to get a titlebar gradient that wasn't destroyed lol
and then I looked at the homescreen


I'm thinking of making a theme based on a certain firefox theme (ft evo) I used to like  and use  a lot  before an update ruined it.
Or I might just end up doing 8 ultimo (current theme yay?), or both, idk.

Edit:
Theme based on an omnimaga site theme V5 Retro. Haven't seen a light-colored custom theme yet so I guess this fills some sort of hole
If you notice something bright red let me know (PM, email (see profile), post, w/e), b/c it's prolly something I was looking for and couldn't find where it affected the os, and tia

Edit2: Fsr my ftp went down (so much for 99% uptime mr. 000webhost) so screenies uploaded here.
Edit3: ..and ofc it's back up in the next half-hour..leaving the uploaded screenshots tho because why not

Figured I might as well post the theme I use on a daily basis
Originally based on the Firefox theme 8 Ultimo (see post ↑), tweaked a bit over time for readability and stuff.


(looks better when not murdered by gif limitations)

Not as polished as the other one, but still usable

Never got around to finishing documenting this, so if someone else wants to then have at it

Okay, so I made a documentation of the all of the different parts of the Nspire theme.
Of course I was “only” able to find about 210 of the 353 different parts. I have my Nspire next to me with those 143 parts in red, and I searched around and found no changes.
If you can find any of these parts, please comment about it.

This should allow making themes to be a whole lot easier, as all you have to do is just look through the documentation, have the theme editor open, and then just change each color as you want. And you probably won’t have to even exit out of the theme editor.

Also, when you are stuck in a frustrating game of hide and seek, any thing is funny, but ComboBoxInactiveVerticalLineInsideArrow is a horizontal line inside a arrow.
And ScrollbarDisabledArrowBox does nothing because ScrollbarEnabledArrowBox covers for both of them

[Deep Thought]

That's great! Should make theme editing a lot easier

[Sorunome]

Documentations is where i get to lazy.....lol, nice work!

[Deep Thought]

Just saw Darl's themes. Those are awesome.

And I just got an idea for an app people might find useful. Who would be interested in a utility to generate a theme graphically?

I'll need to look at how the Nspire ThemeEditor stores its themes, but it's definitely possible

[_Nicco_]

Wow I didn't know that there were themes for the Nspire!

These are really cool

Very good idea

[aeTIos]

^I second.

[Rhombicuboctahedron]

What do you mean by graphically? If you mean an image, I don’t think that it could be possible, because I think the original basis of the theme editor was an excel sheet with a bunch of rgb values

What I think might be nice is a theme creator.
Have the theme editor right next to an emulator that shows the place where the theme would be, changing in real time with the theme editor. Also, it could have a few preprogrammed layouts, like you enter the rgb value, and it automatically changes all of the values to be based on that, such as gradients starting at a lower rgb value, and ending at a much lower rgb value, and text being at a much higher rgb value.

Oh, and the i and r keys are nice for inverting and random, but a key for making all the same color of the current r, g, or b value, or r, g, and b for the whole theme, would be nice too

And Darl181, I found a few of the red sections (although you either forgot to make other parts red, or you found some things that I could not, in which case it would be cool if you could show me )
Check box is activated when you try to save a scratchpad
Inactive arrows are when you can see the arrow but can’t click it, because there is another dialog box open

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah it would be nice. I like how on some sites or forums when editing CSS for example it shows a real-time preview of your edits.
