With the new Fire Theme The caller's caddy gets a new look: warm, strong, and energetic.
But what exactly is a theme?
A theme determines the visual appearance of the Callers Caddy. This includes colors, backgrounds, borders, spacing, lines, and other user interface details. The functionality remains the same, but the interface has its own unique style.
Where can you find the theme settings?
The themes are located in the Callers-Caddy folder in the subfolder:
skin
Each theme has its own folder there. Each theme folder currently contains two important files:
skin.json
Here, the colors are primarily adjusted for each element type.
skin.qss
Here, further style properties are set, such as borders, spacing, line thicknesses, or special representations of individual elements.
The file skin.json It's relatively easy to understand if you want to adjust colors.
""title_bg": "#c8c8c8""
The file skin.qss In contrast, it looks more like a CSS file from the internet. For example:
QDockWidget::title { background-color: {{title_bg}}; padding: 6px; border: 1px solid {{border}}; border-bottom: 2px solid {{border}}; }
You should only make changes here if you know what you're doing. Small changes can quickly have a major impact on the interface.
How to create your own theme
The easiest way is not to start from scratch.
Choose an existing theme that's already roughly in line with what you're looking for. Then copy the entire theme folder and give the new folder a descriptive name.
After that, you only fit initially. a color in the file skin.json Then restart the Callers Caddy and see what has changed.
If you like the change, you can move on to the next color.
This way you work your way step by step until your own theme looks exactly the way you want it to.
In short
The new Fire Theme This is another step towards individual callers caddy.
You can adapt the Callers Caddy not only functionally to your working style, but also visually to your taste.
And if you like, you can even create your very own theme and share it with other callers.
