XYstylEZ - 1170 Themes Pack, plus Loader/Deletion Tool
Posted: 27 Mar 2014 04:48
Hi.
In the process of optimizing/bug-tracking the logic for producing auto/random/controlled themes, I gathered several of them. Some were just too good to ignore, some needed minor tweak, some still need fine tuning but the base is good enough to save time, very few are 'conceptual'. Plain trash, sometimes. Errors and duplicates removed*, here is a good collection so you may have something to play with when it comes to XY customization. I also included v1 themes (plus few additions) - they are the ones popping some basic intro screens.
This is a joint operation attempting to deliver the best of all worlds concerning theme management/creation, this time focusing on speed.
Easy:
1. Unpack the attached zip, move the whole folder under "<xyscripts>\Themes" - select the unpacked folder and use the following script, if you want to do it automatically:
2. use the attached MegaThemesLoader.xys > it'll pick a theme from the MegaPack and automatically apply it. Don't like the theme? Run the script again - it takes 3 or 4 runs to get something you like. Want to get rid of a theme? Then...
3. run the MegaThemesLoader_DeleteCurTheme.xys > the theme is flushed from your system, permanently. Alternatively you could move it somewhere else, but that's up to you. Ask for help, I'll be glad to answer.
The MegaThemesLoader contains the Smart Backup code, which periodically saves your xyini into "<xydata>\AutoBackup\[1-3]".
UDC+CKS are great to play with 2 and 3.
This is my last take on the Themes thing, although I mentioned some other complimentary tools which I may or may not develop-and-publish over time, but chances are heavily increased if one asks for them.
I'm amazed on how fun/productive this thing can be. Should've developed it years ago.
