Save and load prifiles #10

Closed in4matix closed 8 months ago

Awesome extensions. Working great in Ubuntu 22 with Yaru Shell. How about an option to save and load profiles?

neuromorph commented 10 months ago

Thank you :) , happy to hear that.

Yes, saving and loading profiles will make it easier to switch between them. It is on the cards, I will get to it as time permits.

Maybe, initially an option to Export profile to a file and Import from file will help. Thereby, one can have many profiles saved and load one from them. I'll look into it for next updates.

Thanks for writing, I am keeping this open.

Another potential possibility is to save profiles as themes, then people can create themes and share their themes?

neuromorph commented 9 months ago

A new update is live now (v17/v18). It contains options to Export theme-settings to a file and Import theme-settings from a file. This allows to save many themes and import the one desired. The same file can also be shared . It does not have a mechanism to save all the theme-profiles within the extension (like Custom OSD) and so they can be saved externally as exported files in a local directory.

You can try it out.

Awesome dude! You should create a repo on Pling. They have Shell themes, Plank themes, etc... so how about OpenBar Themes...

neuromorph commented 9 months ago

Thanks, there's also options for Auto-theming that you can try out.

That's a great idea about Pling! I will look into it.

Auto-theming works great!! Just using a stock background, after second try it produced a really neat theme (attached). I think Auto-theming should be like the default... The other settings are okay, but a bit too complicated for the average Joe, like me... ob1 ob2 ob3 I went straight to Auto-theming, without even looking at the other settings... OB_Auto_Theme_02.zip

Auto-Theming: Thank you! You are correct, going through all the settings can be a lot. Auto-theming is an easier option. It can at least get very close to a good theme very quickly and then maybe one or two settings could be tweaked further if one wants. I did not make it default since it would have overwritten the settings that people have already configured. Now they have an option to export current settings before trying out auto-theme.

Import/Export: Before closing the issue, it would be great if you can confirm whether the Exporting theme to a file and later importing the theme (or importing to a new installation) works as expected.

Thank you for the feedback.

Okay, on a fresh VM, installed OB, imported my saved theme, awesomeness!! (For Gnome 42) Screenshot from 2024-03-03 09-12-37 Screenshot from 2024-03-03 09-12-59

Great! Thanks for verifying. I am closing the issue.
