Can't set the color theme!

[akefirad]

Firstly the documentation says:

Additional color themes can be found in the colors repository. These color themes are bundled with all releases of Lite XL by default.

Is that true? I can find only three color themes; fall, summer, and textadept. Where exactly are themes stored?

More importantly, I can't set the color theme correctly:

-- light theme:
core.reload_module("fall")

But when I open the editor I can see that it couldn't find the theme : init.lua:921: module 'fall' not found:. The paths that the editor tries to find the color theme seems interestingly. Shouldn't it be blah/blah/blah/color/<theme>.lua (in both application and user folders)? (When I copy the theme file to one the paths in the above picture, it works.)

I'm using the latest version 2.0.3 on Mac.

Thanks for the great work and support.

If you download a prebuilt release, you should have all the color themes integrated. For example download lite-xl-luajit-linux-x86_64.tar.gz from the releases page; inside the archive you can find the directory lite-xl/share/lite-xl/colors/ with 22 color themes.

core.reload_module("fall")

You have to use

core.reload_module("colors.fall")

I see. Thanks for the reply.

But out of curiosity, why are color themes not bundled with other distribution, like .dmg?

It looks like a packaging issue. I'll open a bug report.
