You can create a new one from scratch or tweak an existing one. Creating a new one is straightforward -- all you need to do is define a set of colors and a set of styles. Just follow the example of existing themes. If instead you want to use an existing theme like -"light" but only change the font face and font size, you do not have to copy the -whole theme to your *~/.textadept/themes/light.lua* before changing the font -settings. Tweaking themes is very simple with Lua's `dofile()` function. In your -*~/.textadept/themes/light.lua*, put: +"light" but only change the font face and font size, you have two options: call +[`gui.set_theme()`][] with additional parameters from your +*~/.textadept/init.lua* or create an abbreviated *~/.textadept/themes/light.lua* +using Lua's `dofile()` function. For example: + -- File *~/.textadept/init.lua* + gui.set_theme('light', 'font', 'Monospace', 'fontsize', 12) + + -- File *~/.textadept/themes/light.lua* dofile(_HOME..'/themes/light.lua') - buffer.property['font'] = 'font face' + buffer.property['font'] = 'Monospace' buffer.property['fontsize'] = size -This loads Textadept's "light" theme, but applies your font preferences. The -same technique works for tweaking individual theme colors and/or styles. +Either one loads Textadept's "light" theme, but applies your font preferences. +The same techniques work for tweaking individual theme colors and/or styles, but +managing more changes is probably easier with the latter. + +[`gui.set_theme()`]: api/gui.html#set_theme ### Language-Specific |
