RE: Bitshares UI customization guide!

in #bitshares8 years ago (edited)

hey bro i might be looking at this a little naively, but messing with the theme section basically gives you a bunch of skins yeah?
also i duno how stupid this sounds, but could i get the "environment" running on windows?

Sort:  

Yeah, by adding themes to the theme drop down you provide a skin for everyone using the web wallet you've customized. We've only really got 5 or 6 themes (several exclusive skins to rudex/openledger/btsabc), we should have many skins like you see in IRC/Text clients! :)

It needs node.js v6 (not tested v7) and nvm, if you have those on windows then I don't see why not!

if i have luck setting up i think the rest is easy, ima see if i can get it started

Cool, looking forwards to any cool skins you can come up with :)

hey bro I am actually still trying to do this, I got some advice from Alfredo on telegram and found it was easier to download virtualbox and install ubuntu, I have it working now though, i cant seem to get it to load up my theme,
The missing translations you were mentioning, i think im getting this issue, was the resolution to make sure you had it defined in the 3 locations you mention? or is there another issue i didnt understand?

Searching for 'olDarkTheme' showed entries within each of the translation files located at "\web\app\assets\locales".

Within each of the 'locale_xx.json' files (replace xx with language), there is an entry for theme names which I have previously missed:

  "settings": {
    [ irrelevant text ]
    "themes": "Tema",
    "darkTheme": "Koyu tema",
    "lightTheme": "Açık tema",
    "olDarkTheme": "Openledger koyu",
    [ irrelevant text ]
  },

So it would appear that you need to provide a translation for your new theme in the following format:

"yourThemeName": "yourTranslatedThemeName"

Google translate should be sufficient..

Give me a shout if this works :)

hey bro, this was it exactly! strangely enough the only other language I know besides english is turkish, your example couldn't have been better xD

i think im basically set to go now, hopefully i can put together a few themes people like, i might also put together an idiots guide for windows to the setup once i get a theme completed
thanks for all your help and patience so far :)

How did you get on with making your bitshares theme?

Great to hear you've got it working, I'm looking forwards to the themes you're able to put together!

Please do consider creating a Steemit thread showcasing your designs when ready, i'll be upvoting them for sure! ;D
