How to add custom themes? - summermusic - 2025-01-03
Hello musical friends! In the 7th CrowdSupply update, it was mentioned that easy addition of custom themes via the SD card is a planned feature. Is this implemented? And if so, where would I actually put these theme files? On a gut feeling I tried to save the simple example as theme.lua to the root of the SD card which didn't seem to work.

Custom themes go in a "/.themes/" directory in the SD card root. You can find the docs on this here: https://cooltech.zone/tangara/docs/themes/

i am absolutely not smart enough to figure out how to make one myself, at least not until there are more examples to rip off, but i would love to know if anyone else has tackled this and made their own!
Particularly I'd love to see/make/use colour variants of the high-contrast theme :3

The hicon theme is particularly easy to modify; since its only two colors you can just change these lines:
Code:
local text_color = "#000000"
local background_color = "#FFFFFF"to whatever colours you want
Here I've attached one where I've done that with these random colours, you have to rename it to remove the `.txt` though, the forum wouldn't let me upload a `.lua` file.
