RE: Bitshares UI customization guide!
hey bro i might be looking at this a little naively, but messing with the theme section basically gives you a bunch of skins yeah?
also i duno how stupid this sounds, but could i get the "environment" running on windows?
Yeah, by adding themes to the theme drop down you provide a skin for everyone using the web wallet you've customized. We've only really got 5 or 6 themes (several exclusive skins to rudex/openledger/btsabc), we should have many skins like you see in IRC/Text clients! :)
It needs node.js v6 (not tested v7) and nvm, if you have those on windows then I don't see why not!
if i have luck setting up i think the rest is easy, ima see if i can get it started
Cool, looking forwards to any cool skins you can come up with :)
hey bro I am actually still trying to do this, I got some advice from Alfredo on telegram and found it was easier to download virtualbox and install ubuntu, I have it working now though, i cant seem to get it to load up my theme,
The missing translations you were mentioning, i think im getting this issue, was the resolution to make sure you had it defined in the 3 locations you mention? or is there another issue i didnt understand?
Searching for 'olDarkTheme' showed entries within each of the translation files located at "\web\app\assets\locales".
Within each of the 'locale_xx.json' files (replace xx with language), there is an entry for theme names which I have previously missed:
So it would appear that you need to provide a translation for your new theme in the following format:
Google translate should be sufficient..
Give me a shout if this works :)
hey bro, this was it exactly! strangely enough the only other language I know besides english is turkish, your example couldn't have been better xD
i think im basically set to go now, hopefully i can put together a few themes people like, i might also put together an idiots guide for windows to the setup once i get a theme completed
thanks for all your help and patience so far :)
How did you get on with making your bitshares theme?
hey bro! It was a little harder than I anticipated, it took me a few days to setup the environment, I started with a duplicate of one of the others and started doing a bit of a hit and miss change of colors, but I think it took me a bit longer than I was expecting and I kinda dropped off it, I think I still have a couple images of some color sets I was trying to create.
another unrelated obstacle was the virtual system not playing nicely with my computer, I dont really have a big PC and just use a surface, they seem like theyre running well but overheat and blow something out, I started to get a few really wierd problems popping up and it made me hesitate to keep going, on that note, my cousin said he might be getting a new one and might be passing his old one to me, thats a beast compared to this little thing, I might try it again and maybe ask more questions and maybe try to help make the process easier to customize, maybe even just add some comments to the code to help pinpoint whats where
Sorry I didnt have any exciting news :( I will have to check it out again sometime I think :)
Great to hear you've got it working, I'm looking forwards to the themes you're able to put together!
Please do consider creating a Steemit thread showcasing your designs when ready, i'll be upvoting them for sure! ;D
