INSTALL

Deluge 2

1) Stop deluge-web:

pkill deluge-web

2) (optional) Backup old files:

sudo mv /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/icons/ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/icons.bak & sudo mv /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/images/ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/images.bak

   Possible alternative location (python version may differ):

sudo mv /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/icons/ /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/icons.bak & sudo mv /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/images/ /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/images.bak

3) Install the theme:

sudo wget -c https://github.com/joelacus/deluge-web-dark-theme/raw/main/deluge_web_dark_theme.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar -xz -C /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/

   Possible alternative location (python version may differ):

sudo wget -c https://github.com/joelacus/deluge-web-dark-theme/raw/main/deluge_web_dark_theme.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar -xz -C /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/

4) Edit web.conf to set the theme. Scroll to the bottom and change "theme": "gray" to "theme": "dark"

nano ~/.config/deluge/web.conf

   If the web.conf file is not there, it might be here instead:

sudo nano /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/web.conf

   If a file called web.conf~ exists, delete, or edit it as well. Otherwise this will overwrite web.conf when deluge-web is restarted.

5) Edit index.html 

sudo nano /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/index.html

   Possible alternative location (python version may differ):

sudo nano /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/index.html

   and add the following meta tag on the empty line 19 in the header:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">

   This prevents scaling issues on mobile devices.

6) Restart deluge-web

7) (optional) You can change the accent colour and row colours by editing this file:

sudo nano /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/themes/css/xtheme-dark.css

   Possible alternative location (python version may differ):

sudo nano /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deluge/ui/web/themes/css/xtheme-dark.css

   Replace the variable values --accent: 156,39,176; with any RGB value.
   Note: If you don't see the updated accent colour, force reload the deluge web-ui page with Ctrl+Shift+R.

8) Enjoy! :) tip

Deluge Docker

1) Stop the deluge docker container. List your docker containers with this command to find the ID sudo docker container ls

sudo docker stop <Container ID>

   If you are using compose, use this command:

docker-compose down

Install Option 1

2) Mount the theme as a volume with compose.

   2a) Create a directory to save the theme locally:

mkdir ~/docker_config/deluge/ui -p

   2b) Download and extract the theme into the directory:

sudo wget -c https://github.com/joelacus/deluge-web-dark-theme/raw/main/deluge_web_dark_theme.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar -xz -C ~/docker_config/deluge/ui

   2c) Edit docker-compose.yml and add the following under deluge:volumes::

- ~/docker_config/deluge/ui/icons:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/icons
- ~/docker_config/deluge/ui/images:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/images
- ~/docker_config/deluge/ui/themes:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/themes

   Note: Your path may differ slightly. Such as /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/deluge/...

   Example:

deluge:
    image: linuxserver/deluge:latest
    container_name: deluge
    volumes:
      # dark theme
      - ~/docker_config/deluge/ui/icons:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/icons
      - ~/docker_config/deluge/ui/images:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/images
      - ~/docker_config/deluge/ui/themes:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web/themes

   See compose-example.yml for a full file example.

   Continue to Step 3

Install Option 2

2) Install theme directly into the container.

   2a) Find the deluge docker install path:

sudo find / -type d -name 'web'

   Example: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/<NUMBER>/diff/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web

   2b) Install the theme. Replace <PATH> in the install command with the path found previously which contains diff and ends with /ui/web

sudo wget -c https://github.com/joelacus/deluge-web-dark-theme/raw/main/deluge_web_dark_theme.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar -xz -C <PATH>

Post Install

3) Edit web.conf to set the theme. Replace <PATH> with the path to your deluge config defined in docker-compose.yml or docker run command:

sudo nano <PATH>/web.conf

   Note: You can also search for it with sudo find / -type f -name 'web.conf'

   Scroll to the bottom and change "theme": "gray" to "theme": "dark"

   If a file called web.conf~ exists, delete, or edit it as well. Otherwise this will overwrite web.conf when deluge-web is restarted.

   4a) Find the deluge docker install path:

sudo find / -type d -name 'web'

   Example: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/<NUMBER>/diff/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/ui/web

   4b) Edit index.html. Replace <PATH> with path found in Step 4a.

sudo nano <PATH>/index.html

   and add the following meta tag on the empty line 19 in the header:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">

   This prevents scaling issues on mobile devices.

5) Restart the deluge docker container:

sudo docker start <Container ID>

   If you are using compose, use this command:

docker-compose up -d

6) (optional) You can change the accent colour and row colours by editing this file. Replace <PATH> with the path found in step 4a:

sudo nano <PATH>/themes/css/xtheme-dark.css

   Replace the variable values --accent: 156,39,176; with any RGB value.
   Note: If you don't see the updated accent colour, force reload the deluge web-ui page with Ctrl+Shift+R.

Windows

1) Quit Deluge.

2) Download deluge_web_dark_theme.zip

3) Extract the files from the zip into this folder C:\Program Files\Deluge\deluge\ui\web and click replace existing files when prompted.

4) Edit web.conf with Notepad in this folder:
(Change "Text Documents (.txt)" to "All Files" in the Open dialogue).

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\deluge

   At the bottom of the file, edit "theme": "gray" to "theme": "dark"

   If you run the deluge daemon via nssm, you will also need to edit an additional web.conf file here:

C:\config_location

   If a file called web.conf.bak exists in either location, delete, or edit it as well. Otherwise this will overwrite web.conf when deluge-web is restarted.

5) Open Notepad as Admin and edit index.html in this folder:
(Change "Text Documents (.txt)" to "All Files" in the Open dialogue).

C:\Program Files\Deluge\deluge\ui\web\

   and add the following meta tag on the empty line 19 in the header:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">

   This prevents scaling issues on mobile devices.
