  • Adding a Theme

    How do you add a new Theme? I can't seem to find a way.

    Hi,

    Just create a new directory in the themes dir, after that you can copy the contents of one of the other themes in it and change it to your needs. Now you will see it in the themes area in mystic config.

    gtX!

    Should be easy and straight forward if I remember:
    just drop into the \mystic\themes directory.


    Otherwise, :

    Others have already answered, but I'll give on m0re suggestion; go into /mystic/themes and 'cp -r' the default subdir to another ... 'newtheme' or whatever; this way, you'll start with all the files that 'should' be present.

    Hey dude! I actually don't know if this is totally necessary. I seem to recall reading that the 'default' theme is always a fallback if files are missing from another theme.

    I mean that its an easy way to 'start' a secondary theme. On linux;
    cd ~/mystic/themes
    cp -r themes/ new_theme/

    In Mystic -cfg, add 'new_theme' and its a starting point, with all orig/stock art that can be modified as 'new_theme' (or whatever you named it)... but maybe I'm wrong in how I add new themes. :P

    Yep! As long as you plan to modify every part of the theme :P

    The reason I think it might make sense to not do this, even though it works 100% and is a great foundation to begin on, is any change you want to make in your default theme then won't be reflected in the new theme unless you go change it there as well.

    Either way works, though!

    You know, maybe thats why I have such hard issues w/ creating a nice, full and complete theme in Mystic - guess I ought to try one from ZERO; maybe it'll be easier, or at least easier to SEE what needs to be done...
