A theme editor coming for Ndless 3.1
« on: July 05, 2012, 11:32:11 am »
On 3.x development OSes, TI had started to develop a theme editor.

But for some reason, that functionnality was totally removed from the released OSes.
All what is left is a hidden "theme.csv" file at the documents root with some RGB colors specifications, but which seems totally ignored by the OS as I've allready managed to modify it without getting anything special on the screen.


Fortunately, Levak has worked very hard on a theme editor/loader for Ndless 3.1.
Use your favorite colors or greys on your TI-Nspire!  ;D

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

If anyone wants to make a documentation concerning all "names" here is the beta version : http://levak.free.fr/ftp/nspire/ThemeEditor/

Notice that this version is not complete yet for one reason : my laptop went out of battery in th plane. Basically, it can loads a theme where the path is indicated in the config file, but cannot save it. Each modification you make is lost on each reboot.

This is why this version is open for documentation but not for usage.

Since there are like hundreds of "names", I wish some people will help me to make a "link" between those names and helpful pictures.

edit : also, there are fails in the gradient system, but that's not my fault, it is TI's code that doesn't handle (or handle only some) specifics couples of End/Start colors.

Do you think that in the future pictures can be implemented as background? Say, like on the main menu you see "Omnimaga" in blue in the background?
You just lost the game.

No you can't the way it is coded.
Or we have to modify the core code which is not thinkable.

Someone should make a theme with #9EAB88 and #1A1C16.

(Those are the colors of a TI-83 Plus screen, by the way. At least according to WabbitEmu.)

now if only we could customize the colors on a TI-83 Plus ;D

Looks pretty great. I wonder if one day we will be able to change the GUI or borders entirely?  For example if somebody wanted his Nspire to look exactly like Windows 98 or Mac OS X

It """""""""can""""""""" be made the way it is coded. But trust me, you're dreaming :D
Anyway, I should stop say that it can be made, since everything is possible with Ndless.

Well... any reasonable thing. On an unrelated note, what would I need to get started with c development?
edit: anyways, will create a separate topic for that... so don't answer that last question here.
