How do I use the themes in the root 'themes' folder?

[crimsonnight]

There's only 1 landscape theme in a folder and I'm not a fan - there are some good looking themes in the root folder though, 'LandscapeMagicBlue_theme' etc. How do I use one of these themes instead of the ones in the folders? Cheers

Hi @crimsonnight
The files in the root folder are only examples: you would find a background file and an example of what could be done by creating a theme with this background.
They cannot be used as theme because they do not have a specific folder and the theme.yaml corresponding file has not been written to specify where the content would be displayed over the background.
If you want, you can implement one of these examples as a theme yourself:

• create a folder for this theme in res/themes
• move the corresponding background file
• copy a theme.yaml from another theme (like the other landscape theme)
• edit the theme.yaml to show sensors over the background at the right place to recreate what is shown in the example file

FYI I try to do this work when i have some free time, but as you can see it is a time-consuming task because every data needs to be positioned manually at the right place - no theme editor for now.

Thought that might be the case - might be worth just labelling changing the filenames to include 'example' or something.
And cheers, hopefully something uploads them at some point (don't think I have the technical skills!)

Update: i uploaded the complete LandscapeMagicBlue theme to the master branch, you can try it if you want! There are 2 circles that do not have data in it for now but they will be filled in a future version

Oh great cheers, I'll check it out! :) I managed to create my own theme in the meantime, but it's just a modded version of the included landscape theme.
