Themes
CemUI ships with 2 default themes, Fluent and Flux. Fluent is the original CemUI 2.0 design theme. Flux is our uniform theme following our own custom design specs, based on a mix of several existing specs.
Custom Themes
CemUI supports loading 3rd party themes. Themes can be loaded from %appdata%/CemUI/app_data/themes. Each theme must have an index.html file, config.json file and a thumbnail.jpg file. config.json stores the basic settings for the theme. It is an object with these properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| title | Theme name |
| description | Theme description |
| theme_color | Theme color (HEX) |
Events
To fully utilize themes you will need to hook into the many events emitted (not all possible events are documented) See the Events section of the wiki for documentation
I found a bug!
Given that this project is still very early in development, bugs will probably be common, and vary from person to person. If you find a bug, we ask that you follow this format for reporting the bug on the Issue Tracker on the repo:
-
A detailed name describing the bug (no "A bug happened" type titles!)
-
A detailed description of the bug
-
Exact steps to reproduce
-
A screenshot/video of the bug/error message
-
List games affected (if applicable)
-
If possible, a video or gif showing the exact steps to reproduce (There are many free video recorders out there. It doesn't matter how you record it, as long as it's recorded)
-
And above all: stay calm. Currently there are only 2 developers working on this project, and for one this is the first NodeJS app they have worked on. Also given the nature of how Electron packages apps, bugs may not occur on our end but will on yours. Please be patient while we attempt to fix the issue.
