Very first steps with themes

**g0ntzal** · September 19th, 2023, 19:08

Hi friends,

I'm starting with some basic tests related to themes... I can see that Theme Dark contains a desktop image (1920x1080) covering the entire FG desktop area on my 2048x1152 screen. So I made a copy of the extension, changed the display name and replace the desktop image with my own custom 1920x1080 image...

... But my "new theme" desktop image does not cover the entire desktop area!!!

How can I get the same desktop behavior as the original Theme Dark?

Thanks in advance.

What is the frame definition for your "desktop" frame asset?

The Dark theme uses a simple tiled single asset. (i.e. only middle block defined).

The desktop background assumes a 9-slice frame definition; which tiles to fill the space. So, the definition and the graphic determine how it is drawn.
(i.e. if only middle defined, then the "middle" portion will be tiled to fill the space.)

If you are using a purely tiled background, then the edges of the middle tile will need to blend together to look good.
You can also define corners, left/right/top/bottom edges (also tiled); so that you can customize the edges of the screen.
