  • WWIVconfig ThemeChange

    From Patch #1@142.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Tue Apr 16 08:50:17 2024

    Is there a way to change the 'theme' in WWIVconfig? I am taking a deep dive into the configuration of the system but the default color schemes is hard to read.

    Yes, I am going blind. =)

    I know Mystic has like 2-3 themes. Maybe we can have a sight friendly theme for wwivconfig as a feature request.

    I can definitely get behind that. Right now I have a working version on a Windows machine so I can see the menu options and know what to select when I see it in Debian, but a selection of theme's/color schems sure would be nice.

    Sounds like a good idea. Maybe a plain theme and the new theme that has been in use for the last 5 years.

    There's not a way to set the theme from the binary but the code was written to allow it easily.

    See https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/blob/main/localui/colors.cpp#L63

    All of the colors are defined in this file with a comment saying ideally they'd come from an INI file or more likely a JSON file now-a-days.

    It'd be a good project for someone wanting to contribute to WWIV.
