Themes not loading from specified directory

[dipyamanroy]

Downloaded the Dark Matter theme style from as found here, https://github.com/openmaptiles/dark-matter-gl-style. Placed it in a themes folder, however OSMDashboard did not recognize. I could not find an appropriate tutorial on how to add and change map themes. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately OSMDasboard only supports xml render themes as described here: https://github.com/mapsforge/vtm/blob/master/docs/Rendertheme.md

Thanks for responding so promptly. Is there a way to convert a respository with a theme (https://github.com/openmaptiles/dark-matter-gl-style) as I shared previously to the required format automatically?

Being a layman, I may not have the necessary skills to make my own theme with the permissible format.

I don't know any way to convert it. Maybe you can also ask in this repo, if they can provide the theme in other formats.

Alright. Do you know any themes (other than the default) that work on OSMDashboard that I can try out?

I know that these two map sources offer their own themes:

• Freizeitkarte Android
  • OpenAndroMaps

Sometimes a theme only works properly with a specific type of map and vice versa. That's why these two offer their own themes.

Much appreciated, will look into these. I'll close the issue. Thanks for all the help.
