INFO

A strong theme helps your project feel more professional and memorable. Even small changes to color, spacing, and typography can make your game feel uniquely yours.

How to Use It

1. Open the GUI Theme Editor.
2. Choose the interface area you want to customize.
3. Adjust settings with sliders, toggles, and color pickers.
4. Check the live preview as you make changes.
5. Export the generated gui.rpy code when the theme looks right.

When It Is Most Useful

• You want to move beyond the engine's default look.
• You need your UI to match a specific mood or genre.
• You are polishing the presentation for release.
• You want dialogue, menus, and buttons to feel visually unified.

TIP

Start with a base theme and make small changes in stages. It is much easier to keep your interface balanced when you adjust one area at a time.

Extra Tips

• Preview on different screen sizes before finalizing the theme.
• Make sure text stays readable against backgrounds.
• Keep hover and selected states clearly visible.
• Save favorite color combinations so you can reuse them elsewhere.
