streamlining the editing process

Open geextahslex opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Problem is that you have to go trough hundreds of options, when all you want is to set font color to "A" and set background color to "B"

Describe the solution you'd like Something like an "easy-mode" where all font colors, and background colors are linked to one simplified window. An interface like "Dark background and light text" addon for firefox

example

Describe alternatives you've considered none

Additional context As we all know, everytime there is a major windows update the old themes brakes somewhere. So having an easier way to set up your desired theme would be more user friendly. As you can't make one theme and roll with it forever.

Thank you

There is the plan to export and import sets of properties. With this you could then create patches like "light text" , "dark text", etc. and also achieve a certain degree of streamlining.

It's an open task still. See #77 and #104.

It would be just a relief to setup a base theme (no fancy theme) without going trough hundreds of options. I atempted to do a custom theme but everytime I saw this huge list of variables I felt like "okay, maybe next time" ^^

I agree, it is hard to make a custom theme with msstyleEditor. For that, there is a better tool (WSB). The original goal of mssyleEditor was to modify / fix custom themes I didn't fully like. From there it grew and is now somewhere in between.
