Custom Color Scheme #93

Closed johannes84ernst closed 2 years ago

johannes84ernst commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I'm really in love with Stochas. What an amazing sequencer!

I just found the "custom" color scheme setting - but its the same color scheme as the dark one.

Is there a possibility to download/install a custom color scheme or a way to change the colors inside the plugin?

Best regards,

Johannes

Hi Johannes, Switch to "custom" scheme. This will create a file called stochas.skin which will initially be the same scheme as the dark scheme. On windows, go in windows explorer bar and type %APPDATA%\AudioVitamins, on mac look in ~/Library/Application Support/AudioVitamins to find the file. It is a text file, and you can use html color codes, so easiest to find one of those sites that has a color picker that shows you the codes. The changes get picked up either when you reload stochas, or switch back and forth between standard and custom color.

Here is the color scheme that I'm using which was created by one of the users on the discord ( @rovingeye ) which I am using right now. They have a zip file which has a few schemes (here is the link https://discord.com/channels/744319641211633774/751879869385932961/880589188368572508 and I should probably drop that somewhere on the website...).

FYI, on GNU/Linux, the steps would be:

  1. Activate "Cust..." in Settings/Color Scheme
  2. ~/AudioVitamins/stochas.skin now exists.
  3. Tweak or overwrite

The dark theme provided in the .zip above is great and it really deserves to be distributed in a release.
