Creating new themes

[schiegl]

I know that the themes are located in src/resources/themes. But is there a way to edit/create themes without compiling Albert? Maybe editing them in realtime. As you can imagine it is very time consuming to compile after every change.

You dont have to recompile, to make themes. But realtime editing does not work either :D.
To make albert recognize new themes restart albert.
To reload a theme change the theme once.
Watching the files would be a solution, but I dont think this will make sense for the production use.

Oh ok. But where do I put the themes so that Albert finds them?

EDIT: Nevermind I found /usr/share/albert/themes. I only looked in the home directory

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Systemwide: /usr/share/albert/themes
User session: ~/.local/share/albert/themes/

in case people comes from google because the docs suck balls, this is the themes path for albert launcher on linux: /usr/share/albert/widgetsboxmodel/themes/

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Please do not create themes for widgetsboxmodel-qss. I will drop it in the next version.

[ManuelSchneid3r]

@rursache why does the documentation suck?

For whoever is searching this, the location in macOS is /Applications/Albert.app/Contents/Resources/widgetsboxmodel/themes/
