    Copying and pasting - Registers PyRadio Themes Top
    
 
    PyRadio comes with 6 preconfigured (hard coded) themes:
    
 
      
-
    1. dark (8 color theme). This is the appearance PyRadio has always had. Enabled by default.
      2. 
-
    2. light (8 color theme). A theme for light terminal background settings.
      3.

    3. dark_16_colors (16 color theme). “dark” theme alternative.

    4. light_16_colors (16 color theme). “light” them alternative.

+
    
+
    Furthermore, a number of themes (these are actual files saved in the themes installation directory) are also available:
    
+
      
+
    • classic_by_obsdg
      
+A clasic theme by The OpenBSD Guy, originally created on OpenBSD.
      • 
+
    • cupcake_by_edunfelt and fairyflossy_by_edunfelt
      
+Two themes by edunfelt inspired by the base16 project.
      • 
+
    • gruvbox_dark_by_sng and gruvbox_light_by_sng
      
+Two themes based on the gruvbox theme.
      • 
+
    • pastel_based_by_sng
      
+A dim but colorful theme.
      • 
+
    
+
    Contrary to the old styling method, which was terminal and palette dependent, a new styling method has been implemented; actual CSS colors can now be defined.
    
+
    Theme sample / template:
    
+
    # Main foreground and background
+Stations            #8b8198 #fbf1f2
+
+# Playing station text color
+# (background color will come from Stations)
+Active Station      #d57e85
+
+# Status bar foreground and background
+Status Bar          #fbf1f2 #d57e85
+
+# Normal cursor foreground and background
+Normal Cursor       #fbf1f2 #dcb16c
+
+# Cursor foreground and background
+# when cursor on playing station
+Active Cursor       #fbf1f2 #d57e85
+
+# Cursor foreground and background
+# This is the Line Editor cursor
+Edit Cursor         #fbf1f2 #bfb9c6
+
+# Text color for extra function indication
+# and jump numbers within the status bar
+# (background color will come from Stations)
+Extra Func          #69a9a7
+
+# Text color for URL
+# (background color will come from Stations)
+PyRadio URL         #a3b367
+
+# Message window borser foreground
+# (background color will come from Stations)
+Messages Border     #a3b367
    
+
    Pressing “t” will bring up the Theme selection window, which can be used to activate a theme and set the default one.
    
+
    Note: If the theme selected in the “Theme selection window”, (or requested using the “-t” command line option), is in any way invalid, or is of the old format, PyRadio will fall-back to the “dark” theme and will display a relevant message.
    
+
    The “Theme selection window” will remain open after activating a theme, so that the user can inspect the visual result and easily change it, if desired. Then, when he is satisfied with the activated theme, the window will have to be manually closed (by pressing “q” or any other relevant key - pressing “?” will bring up its help).
    
+
    CSS color themes restrictions
    
+
    Using CSS colors imposes a couple of restrictions on the type of terminals PyRadio will be able to run:
    
+
      
+
    1. The TERM variable must be set (Linux and MacOs only).
      
+
      
+PyRadio will set it to “xterm-256color” if not set.
      
+
      
+Furthermore, if TERM is set to anything like “xterm”, ”screen” or “tmux“, PyRadio will set it to”xterm-256color*” as well.
      2. 
+
    2. Terminals that do not support at least 16 colors will not be able to display any of the new themes. The same goes for terminals that do not support changing their colors (through the curses library).
      
+
      
+These terminal will default to the old “dark” theme, displaying whatever colors the active palette dictates.
      3. 
+
    3. There are a couple of terminals (that I know of) which will permit changing their colors but will not be able to present the changed color on the fly.
      
+
      
+This means that, in order for a theme change to take full effect, PyRadio will have to be restarted.
      4.

    Furthermore, three 256-color system themes (these are actual files saved in the themes installation directory) are also available:

    2. pink_by_sng
      3. 
-
    3. purple_by_sng
      4. 
+
    4. Save the theme provided as a template above in their themes folder using any (short) file name and a “.pyradio-theme” file extension.
      
+
      
+For this reason, a folder called “themes” will probably have to be created in PyRadio config directory (~/.config/pyradio or **%APPDATA* on Windows)
      5. 
+
    5. Customize it as desired
      6. 
+
    6. Load it from the “Theme selection window” (it will be found under “User Themes”).
      7. 
 
    
-
    The visual result of an applied theme greatly depends on the terminal settings (e.g. foreground and background color settings, palette used, number of colors supported, real or pseudo-transparency support, etc.)
    
-
    Pressing “t” will bring up the Theme selection window, which can be used to activate a theme and set the default one.
    
-
    Note: Themes that use more colors than those supported by the terminal in use, will not be present in the Theme selection window. Furthermore, if a such at theme is set as default (or requested using the “-t” command line option), PyRadio will fall-back to the “dark” theme (or the “light” theme, if the terminal supports 8 colors and default theme is set to “light_16_colors”), and will display a relevant message at program startup.
    
-
    The Theme selection window will remain open after activating a theme, so that the user can inspect the visual result and easily change it, if desired. Then, when he is satisfied with the activated theme, the window will have to be manually closed (by pressing “q” or any other relevant key - pressing “?” will bring up its help).
    
-
    The use of custom themes and theme editing is not implemented yet; these are features for future releases.
    
+
    Converting old themes
    
+
    An old theme (using the old format) can be asily converted to the new format, using the script found at this gist.
    
+
    Note: In order to get the color intended to be used, the same palette as the one used when the original theme was created, must be used.
    
 
    Using transparency
    
 
    PyRadio themes are able to be used with a transparent background.
    
 
    Pressing “T” will toggle the transparency setting and save this state in PyRadio’s configuration file (transparency is off by default).
    
 
    Setting transparency on, will actually force PyRadio to not use its own background color, effectively making it to display whatever is on the terminal (color/picture/transparency). The visual result depends on terminal settings and whether a compositor is running.
    
-
    When the Theme selection window is visible, a “[T]” string displayed at its bottom right corner will indicate that transparency is on.
    
+
    When the “Theme selection window” is visible, a “[T]” string displayed at its bottom right corner will indicate that transparency is on.
    
 
    Mouse support Top
    
 
    Being a console application, PyRadio was never intended to work with a mouse.
    
 
    Furthermore, when using the mouse on a console application, the result is highly dependent on the terminal used and the way it implements mouse support.

+\fBConverting old themes\fR

+An old theme (using the old format) can be asily converted to the new format, using the script found at \fBthis gist\fR (\fIhttps://gist.github.com/s-n-g/65aa6ae12e135481bf3a503ece4e92d2\fR).
+
+.IP \fBNote:
+In order to get the color intended to be used, the same palette as the one used when the original theme was created, must be used.
