Creating New Themes
|
|
===================
|
|
|theme_new| **Create a new theme:**
|
|
This will bring up the *Theme Wizard*
|
|
|
|
.. image:: /pics/theme_manager_wizard.png
|
|
|
|
Click :guilabel:`Next`. You have 4 choices in the drop down menu for Background
|
|
type: Solid Color, Gradient, Image or Transparent.

|
|
|
|
**Solid color:**

|
Select solid color and click on the black button next to Color. You have the

|
|
|
|
**Gradient:**
|
|
Choose the two colors, :guilabel:`Starting color` and :guilabel:`Ending color`
|
|
that you want to fade together and the Gradient drop down will let you
|
|
determine the directions of the fade.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: /pics/theme_manager_gradient.png
|
|
|
|
**Image:**
|
|
You have the ability to use an image for your background. OpenLP accepts a
|
|
variety of image types. JPG is the most common format of images but can
|
|
cause previews to be slow. If you experience this you may want to convert
|
|
your image to PNG as it previews quicker than other formats.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: /pics/theme_manager_image.png
|
|
|
|
**Background color:**

|
|
than your projector display setting.
|
|
|
|
**Image:**
|
|
Click |buttons_open| to find and select your image.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** When possible, try to use the same size image as your projector is
|
|
displaying unless you want a background color for a border.
|
|
|
|
**Transparent:**
|
|
Using the transparent theme will use whatever wallpaper or background color
|
|
that your desktop is using for the theme background.
|
|
|
|
When finished with your selection for background, click the :guilabel:`Next`
|
|
button.
