About

This place hosts themes and the resources that these themes depend on.

How to use

Themes from this repository can be accessed directly in the launcher, under Settings > Appearance > Themes menu.

Adding a new theme

To add a theme, fork this repository and create a new folder with your desired theme name inside of the themes directory.

An example theme's file structure can look like this:

├── themes
│   ├── <your theme name>
    │   ├── background.<png|jpg|gif|(other common image types) ; mp4|mov|webm>
    │   ├── metadata.json
    │   └── theme.css

Obtaining your theme through the launcher

Jiayi can export your current theme and fill out the required metadata. You can find this functionality in the themes menu.

Manually creating your theme

You will have to create your own metadata.json and get your hands on the assets for your theme.

A metadata.json file should have an author and any applicable tags for your theme, and could look like this:

{
  "author": "DeathlyBower959",
  "tags": ["sunset", "aesthetic", "red", "orange", "gradient"],
  "raw_tags": ["dark", "light", "animated"] // these are the only supported raw tags
}

Theme metadata is validated automatically.

You can obtain your theme.css file within the launcher. Go to Settings > Appearance > Show theme to reveal your theme in File Explorer, and drop the file inside of your fork.

When you're finished, open a pull request. Every theme is manually reviewed, and all correctly formatted themes will be accepted, no matter how good or bad it looks.
