![]() ![]() If you’re not used to Nord, I recommend you try this out. Overall, if you’re used to coding in Nord, you’ll feel at home with this. If you press F9 and start writing in the Distraction Free Mode (or the Composition Mode, as they like to call it), even that matches the Nord Theme. Every single color that can be customized has been customized to match that of the Nord color palette. Like all good things in life, this isn’t free. You can pay as little as 3 USD, or as much as you want. It took a few hours, hours I should’ve been writing, hours I shouldn’t have wasted like this, but hey, I’m done now. ![]() I’ve been tinkering with it over the past couple of hours, and given how much I love the Nord Theme now (the palette of this entire website is based on that), I decided to create a Nord Theme for Scrivener. Until I write another book about Creating Themes for Scrivener, that’s all the specs we have.I never thought I’d type that line, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. Windows Themes are found here: Scrivener 3 Themes (Windows) You can learn from other Themes just by unzipping and analyzing them. I can look those up and post those here, but I believe the software also has to implement the usage of Theme settings for anything to work. There are some specs on the Qss and Q-? platform the program is buid on. But nothing beats hand-on experience and discovery. Several posts in this Forum describe the way to create a Theme, which taught me a lot. The process of creating a Theme for Windows, I’ve described in mijn book. The color and style names are somewhat descriptive. The default palette is also already annotated by the Developers, the Qss sparcely. ![]() I’ve annotated the Palette file with all the UI-elements a particular color setting is affecting. I’ve created a Theme called Primar圜olors, I use not for esthetical reasons but purely for testing what Palette and Qss settings have what effect in the UI. “My White.scrtheme”, you’ll need to do Window > Theme > Import > My Custom White.scrtheme to have it show up under the list of Custom themes Confirm via Window > Themes that White is active (has the checkmark).Completely close/exit all Scrivener projects and shutdown Scrivener.Make White the active them via Windows > Theme > select White (you will lose any changes you’ve made to Default, but that can’t be helped) (you should get a message “please restart to apply the new theme”).You can’t save changes to the Default theme, which is why Save Theme to File is greyed out. But I can also see that the active theme is Default, because that’s the one with the check mark. In your screenshot I can see White theme under Custom Themes, so you did Import it. The second problem is that I cannot save a Theme to File. Then I did Save Theme to file and created a custom. From File > Options, I changed Highlight and Corkboard Backgrounds and Target Progress Bars > Start Color / End Colors. I loved it, but decided to tweak a few settings for my eyes. Main Editor > Colors > Text Selection TextĪnother example: Some kind person created and uploaded the Dark Forest theme a while back. Main Editor > Colors > Text Selection Background Main Editor > Colors > Current Line highlight (also applies to Comp Mode) Textual Marks > Colors > Spell check underlineĬomp Mode > Colors > Text Selection Background For example, for a few themes I’ve had to change the options below to better match the theme’s colors: I mean making changes via File > Options. By customizations, I don’t mean hacking a theme like mentions. scrtheme files, based on customizations I’ve made to various default themes and themes people have uploaded to this forum. When I want to change a non-appearance or non-theme setting, I make the change using File > Options and then Save Options to file, creating a new version of this file. prefs file that contains my preferred Options. prefs file to switch to a different look. prefs files with that non-appearance change, otherwise I’ll lose the non-appearance change the next time I load a. Then one day I decide I want to make a non-appearance settings change. For example, lets say I had three different “looks” that I regularly switch between, with a. scrtheme files to manage appearance changes.Īlthough I rarely change non-appearance settings, sometimes I do, which made managing my appearance changes using. Initially I took the same approach with v3, but eventually I realized that it worked better for me to use. I can easily load saved Options if my mood changes and I want a different look. I have successfully altered the Appearance of key items in Scrivener and saved the Appearance Options. ![]()
