readme

Note

The following readme may be incomplete, I am slowly changing it over for this theme, but it uses the base Zero Base Themes readme.

The extension & theme are in production, and not all syntaxes are finished yet.

To use - enable the developer options in your chrome://extensions window and load an unpacked extension, you can build this with grunt, and load the files it produces.

Seti-UI Dev Tools Theme

A port of the seti-ui theme and syntax highlighting to Chrome Devtools that use the Zero Base Template.

Contributing

Zero Base Themes is built on LESS. Grunt is used to listen for changes to LESS files and generates CSS. This means Node is required.

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repo: git clone git@github.com:WillsonSmith/seti-ui-chrome-dev-tools.git.

  2. Install dependencies: npm install.

  3. To use an existing theme: grunt. (If you're going to work on your own theme: grunt watch to listen for changes).

  4. Chrome > Preferences... > Extensions > DevTools Theme: Zero Dark Matrix = Enabled (also enable Allow incognito below if you wish).

  5. chrome://flags (make sure Enable Developer Tools experiments is enabled).

  6. In Chome Dev Tools > Settings (cog icon or Shift+?) > Experiments > Allow custom UI themes.

  7. Sometimes it's required to close and reopen the dev tools.

Contributing to Template Source

All template files are located in the /less directory. Files beginning with an _ indicate template partials. They are imported via build.less. Any addition/removal of template partials should be reflected in the build file.

Changing Themes

Copy /themes/_theme-template.less and modify color values accordingly. Rename the file and save in the /themes directory. Specify the theme of your choice in config.less.

About Canary

As of Version v. 33.0.1726.0, themes only work via extensions and the developer tools experiments.

There is a thread detailing how this method came about.. Feel free to voice your opinions there.
