New to HUD programming #179

Closed JeffYen95 closed 3 months ago

JeffYen95 commented 3 months ago

Hi there,

I know this is a stupid question, but I'm not a programmer. May I know which software do I need to install to edit/modify the theme? I did downloaded the source code.zip but it doesn't change anything to the HUD if I done any changes on it. I read through the whole theming.md but I still don't understand how to create a theme or modify.

Much appreciate if I really learn something on this.

Thanks.

In terms of software, you only need a text editor, like Windows' Notepad (not Word or Wordpad or anything like that though).

You don't need the source code ZIP to create a theme; all theme files, i.e. the entire fennec directory, are embedded in cs-hud-win.exe/cs-hud-linux.
You need to create a folder in the cs-hud directory that gets created next to cs-hud-win.exe when you run the HUD for the first time (e.g. cs-hud/my-theme). Inside of that directory, you can override files from the fennec directory by just creating them (or append by creating a .append. file), e.g. cs-hud/my-theme/css/vars/colors.append.css.

Does that help?
