Ready-to-use themes for Frescobaldi

frescobaldi-themes

This repository contains ready to use themes for Frescobaldi and a template to use with base16 theme generators.

How to install a theme

1. Choose a theme file from themes directory and download it.
   • To do so:
     • Navigate to a file and display it
     • At the upper right corner of the displayed content click on the "Raw" button
     • Save the file using your browser's facility
     • Clicking on the link to a theme file and using "Save as..." will not save the actual XML file but the HTML used for displaying it in the Github website.
   • Alternatively you can
     • Download the complete repository as a ZIP archive
     • Clone the repository
2. Open Frescobaldi.
3. Navigate to Theme Selection window (Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors).
4. Click Menu right to the current scheme name and choose Import... option from the drop-down list.
5. Find the previously downloaded file and open it.
6. Apply changes and now your Frescobaldi should be prettier :-)

Contributing

If you have a better aesthetic sense than me, you are very welcome to propose changes to this project :-)

Especially: If you also think Frescobaldi deserves a nicer themes manager and know some Python (ideally along with some PyQt) then have a look at this feature request and consider contributing.

frescobaldi-themes's Issues

Cannot import themes into Frescobaldi 3.0.0

Hi,

First of all thanks a lot for that nice idea. Unfortunately on trying it out, Frescobaldi refused to import the theme.xml file in Settings > Menu > Import always returning the same error message, no matter which theme I try to import:

Kann die Quelldatei nicht lesen: (i.e.: Cannot read source file)
/home/falter/Schreibtisch/base16-ashes.xml
not well-formed (invalid token): line 44, column 91

I opened the xml file with a text editor, and it seems that the culprit is the word/term 'data-pjax-transient'. I have no clue unfortunately what this means, but hopefully this points you in the right direction. Hope you can fix it - or am I missing something?

Thanks for troubleshooting

There are themes with black background for viewing the music

I have taken a look at a couple of themes in my Frescobaldi and basically like them, but the ones I have looked at (not all of them have this, and I have not checked every single one) have a black background for viewing the music. This is obviously not very effective if your notes are black, too. It can be changed, of course, in the Frescobaldi settings, but it would be better if none of the themes came with a black background for the music viewer.
