📜 Scripting Guide: Create Your Own Theme
Creating a theme is easy. Just create a .lua file in the config/keystrokes/ThemeManager/ folder. Here is a starter template:
-- Save this as "my_custom_theme.lua" in config/keystrokes/ThemeManager/
-- Optional: This runs once when the theme is loaded or selected
function onThemeLoad()
-- Sets the default color of the menu sliders (R, G, B, A)
setMenuColor(255, 165, 0, 255) -- Default to Orange
end
-- This runs every frame for every key and mouse button
-- Parameters: label (String), isPressed (Boolean), x, y, w, h (Position/Size), r, g, b, a (Menu Colors)
function renderKey(label, isPressed, x, y, w, h, r, g, b, a)
-- Combine the R, G, B, A values from the menu into a single color
local menuColor = bit.bor(bit.lshift(a, 24), bit.lshift(r, 16), bit.lshift(g, 8), b)
if isPressed then
-- Draw a solid background using the menu color
fill(x, y, w, h, menuColor)
-- Tell the mod to draw the text in Black
setTextColor(0xFF000000)
else
-- Draw a semi-transparent black background when not pressed
fill(x, y, w, h, 0x80000000)
-- Tell the mod to draw the text in White
setTextColor(0xFFFFFFFF)
end
