Theming

Installing a custom theme

To install a custom theme (.ttheme file), place it in the theme folder inside Tauon's user data folder.

Tip: You can find the user data folder by going MENU > Settings... > Functions > Open data folder.

Creating a new custom theme

To create a new user theme, look in this repos theme folder and copy an existing theme file. Give the theme a new name by renaming the file.

Edit the values in the file to change colours.

Columns view

You can change the colours for individual columns by adding lines using the name format column- plus the name of the column.

240,50,50		column-codec
50,240,50		column-comment
50,50,240		column-title
240,50,240		column-album-artist

You can also specify the columns playing row colour by using a + like this:

240,50,50		column+codec
50,240,50		column+comment
50,50,240		column+title
240,50,240		column+album-artist

Notes:

• Some elements are hard-coded or are generated during runtime, so are not directly changeable from a custom theme.
• Add the line light-mode if your theme is intended to be light. (Though light themes are not recommended)
• Not all built in theme files are up to date with all possible fields. Consider referring to multiple themes when creating a new one, or just use an existing theme that is most close to your intended style as a template. In particular "Neon Love" and "Sunken" have additional complexity for defining colours of settings and dialogue boxes.
