ROTunes User Manual

Themes

ROTunes supports multiple themes or 'skins'. These are stored within the !ROTunes.themes directory and consist of a directory for each theme.

Each directory should be named the same as the theme required, which are then automatically detected when you load ROTunes. Inside each directory should be three sprite files and a text file. The format of these is pretty specific, as ROTunes will reject invalid files.

PreviewA 160x108 preview image (to display in the choices window). The spritename within the file has to be "example" and is a 256 colour sprite with a palette and no mask.
The file should be no more than 20K in size.
spritesThe main icons for the toolbars etc.
These should use the same names as those already supplied, and also be the same sprite info (no. of colours, mask, palette etc) of the existing ones.
The file should be no more than 128K in size.
The 'tile_1' sprite is the 'library' background.
tileA 256 colour background 'tile' which should be no more than 32K in size.
coloursA text file containing various colour definitions for the display windows. At present only four values can be defined;
source-hlight:Colour of the highlight bar in the left (source) column
background:Main background colour (wimp colour 0-16)
alternate:Colour of alternate striped bars in display.
grid:Colour of vertical grid lines
With the exception of the window background colour, all these values should be in standard hexadecimal rrggbb format.
