Enchilado's Theme/s

Post by enchilado »

When I can't think of anything else to do I'm going to work on new themes for the TMW client. This first one is quite simple but so far I like how it's turning out, and I'll be using it myself.

It's based on the Classic theme, as in the colourscheme, but has a torn, lumpy look to everything. This is difficult to pull off on things that change size, but if I do it right it should look nice.

So, first theme: no name yet, I've just got it called 'enchilado' but it's easy to rename it whatever you like. A lot of the stuff is still the same as Classic - that's because I've only done a small amount of work on it, eventually it will have a different image for everything. If you try it, please give me tips on anything to do with it.

Using the theme with 4144's patch
If you don't have his patch, you can still use it by placing it under /tmw/data/graphics/gui/. However this has extra .xml files, and no window.xml, so I don't know exactly what you'd have to do there.

Under Linux (or Ubuntu, anyway) goto the 'mana' folder: /usr/share/games/mana/, probably. Go /data/themes/ from here, and there should be a few folders. Extract enchilado.zip here, and the next time you start your client "enchilado" should be listed under Setup -> Theme.

I imagine it would be very similar under Windows, only the /mana/ folder would be in a different place.

If you're not interested in this, please don't post here. Thanks :D

Maybe I didn't say it clearly... it's almost 3 AM, I'm really tired... what I meant was, in the /gui/ folder of the normal client, there is no file called window.xml. Whereas with 4144's patch there is, and that's the version I was editing. So I don' t know what will happen if you replace the contents of the /gui/ folder with the contents of this .zip. You can try it, but it may stuff up your gui...

Why does it only work with newer 4144 releases? Can't it work with the mana nightlies too?

Actualy nighlies always have less features.

This theme should work with nightlies, but players cant switch back to normal theme without changing config or theme files.

Also you can open folder ~/.local/share/mana/
create folder themes
and extract this archive to it.
Same in windows, but different folder.

Enchilado, you forget add colors.xml.
Old client dont need it, but recent need. In this file saved interface colors.

Can i add this theme in my patched client?

colours.xml? Okay. And yeah, add it to your client, although it's not finished yet.
