Of course! Do so in the '''ThemeData''' sheet, which you can unhide from the '''Themes'''. The table uses names that should be self-explanatory. You can make use of the getRGB() function to create your own color in that table. Ex: =getRGB(255,255,255) is White. Black is 0.

Are Themes applies to all the worksheets?

All 'printable' sheets plus the Control worksheet have been updated to use Themes. Changes visible in other non-printable worksheet are artefacts that have been ignored thus far (You might see a background change in those sheets)

Can I create my OWN Theme

Of course! Do so in the ThemeData sheet, which you can unhide from the Themes. The table uses names that should be self-explanatory. You can make use of the getRGB() function to create your own color in that table. Ex: =getRGB(255,255,255) is White. Black is 0.


I see there is a "User Themes" area in the ThemeData worksheet. Why is that

If someone makes popular theme (one that others like), then I could add it in the Theme table. Of course, if you Donate specifically for your own custom built theme to be included in the Sheet, how can I say no?? :)


I want to share a Theme I created! How

       A: Save the character file, then with a text editor, find the tSel_Theme1 text in that file: This is your theme data. Remove the rest (Keep the header, and the header of the Theme section) and save the file under the .tosdata name. Post here!
   Q: What happens if I open a Theme that uses a Font not installed on my PC?
       Q: I dunno! You tell me what happens!
   Q: When I load a Character with a custom theme, the theme I created is not applied to my character!! Why?
       A: While any custom theme is saved with the Character, it is not applied automatically when this character is loaded: This is to prevent people from sharing themes that are not necessarily compatible on another system - specifically if that other system does not have a font used in the custom theme!
   Q: How do I know the color codes?
       A: A color is made with RED, GREEN, BLUE component/intensity. To define RED for instance, you use: =getRGB(255,0,0). I use a small graphics program to get the RGB color codes.. but you can use sites like this one to get the RGB of a color you want - then just plug that R,G,B into the function above, and voila!
   Q: How do I determine the Maximum Character number to use for a custom theme? :new:
       A: What I did to determine the current number of by trial and error: I applied the theme (i.e. the changed font type/size) and added a 20th level character with lots of text. I then checked the INFO section to see how it looked.
   Q: Can I tweak the maximum number of Characters used per line? :new:
       A:Yes: I added an optional adj. box on the back sheet to allow you to add more, or subtract to the maximum number of characters displayed per line
