Using the library

Creating a theme

It is recommended to use the constructor that takes in a string name.

Theme myTheme = new Theme("Hello Theme Toolkit!");

Creating a color

There are multiple ways to create a color object:

From a Hex code string

Color myColor = new Color("#7F7F7F");
Color myOtherColor = new Color("7F7F7F");

From RGB float numbers (0-1)

Color myColor = new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);

From RGB int numbers (0-255)

Color myColor = new Color(127, 127, 127);

Modifying a color

You can modify color's R, G, and B float values:

myColor.R = 0.5f;
myColor.G = 0.5f;
myColor.B = 0.5f;

Or int values:

myColor.RInt = 127;
myColor.GInt = 127;
myColor.BInt = 127;

Assigning colors

A single Project Arrhythmia theme has 24 colors:

• 1 background color
• 1 GUI color
• 4 players colors
• 9 objects colors
• 9 background objects colors

You can assign a single color like this:

Theme myTheme = new Theme("Gray Background");
Color myColor = new Color("#7F7F7F");
myTheme.Background = myColor;

And an array of colors like this:

Color[] myColors = new Color[4];
myColors[0] = new Color("#7F7F7F");
myColors[1] = new Color("7F7F7F");
myColors[2] = new Color(127, 127, 127);
myColors[3] = new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
myTheme.Players = myColors;

Building the theme

You can either get a JSON object representing the theme or export it to a file. Note that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten.

theme.ExportToFile("my_new_theme.lst");
JSONNode json = theme.ToJson();

Example program

Full gray theme

using System;
using System.IO;
using SimpleJSON;

namespace PAThemeToolkit.Test
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Theme creation test");

            // Create a new theme
            Theme theme = new Theme("Full Gray");

            // Set GUI color from Hex string
            theme.GUI = new Color("#7F7F7F");

            // Set background color from RGB [0..255]
            theme.Background = new Color(127, 127, 127);

            // Set arrays of colors
            theme.Players = new Color[4];
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
            {
                // Set color from RGB [0..1]
                theme.Players[i] = new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
            }

            theme.Objects = new Color[9];
            for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
            {
                // Set color from Hex string (without #)
                theme.Objects[i] = new Color("7f7f7f");
            }

            theme.BackgroundObjects = new Color[9];
            for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
            {
                theme.BackgroundObjects[i] = new Color("#7f7f7f");
            }

            // Export to file
            theme.ExportToFile("full_white.lst");

            Console.WriteLine("Theme reading test");

            Theme readTheme = new Theme(JSON.Parse(File.ReadAllText("full_white.lst")));
            Console.WriteLine(readTheme);
        }
    }
