Theme Development
So you want to make your own theme for Ultimate Status Bar. Maybe the current theme's aren't good enough for you, maybe you're just curious as to what's involved, maybe you just want more unicorns? Who knows? Not me for sure.
Firstly: the theme editor is only half built. but it's better than nothing for now. I will finish it off one day, honest.
Anyhow, here's what you'll need to do.
- Install the theme editor version of USB
- Open the USB preferences
- Scroll all the way to the bottom and select the "openThemeEditor" checkbox (yeh I know it's supposed to be a button or a link but the safari extension code won't let me do that)
- The theme editor should open
You should load a theme to base your theme on and then edit the css in the textarea (USB should autoupdate with the new css).
NOTE: The "save" button doesn't work, you'll figure that out pretty quickly, and when you want to use images then you need to host them on the interweb and link to them via an http url (file:// urls generate a security warning and are not loaded).
When you're happy with your new theme zip up the css and images and send me a copy (werehamster@gmail.com). I'll check it over and tweak it if it needs to be tweaked, then include it in the next release.
Happy theming:)
