Themes

Version 1.7 brings basic support for themes, and 1.9 extends it to include keyboard shortcuts and support for multiple theme files.

Creating and editing themes

Look at the Theme class in katrain/gui/theme.py.
Make a theme<yourthemename>.json file in your <home dir>/.katrain directory and specify any variables from the above class you want to override, e.g.

{
 "BACKGROUND_COLOR": [1,0,0,1],
 "KEY_STOP_ANALYSIS": "f10",
 "MISTAKE_SOUNDS": ["jeff.wav","what.wav"]
}

All resources (including icons, which can not be renamed for now) will be looked up in <home dir>/.katrain first, so files with identical names there can be used to override sounds and images.
If variables are specified in multiple theme files, the latest alphabetically takes precedence. That is, each later theme file overwrites the settings from any previous one.

Installation

To install a theme, simply unzip the theme.zip to your .katrain folder.
- On Windows you can find it in C:\Users\you\.katrain and on linux in ~/.katrain.
- When in doubt, the general settings dialog will also show the location.
To uninstall a theme, remove theme.json and all relevant images from that folder.
