Hi guys, I’ve been a keen user of Torque now for a few years but only last week I discovered that I can actually change things like the color scheme of my dials using the properties.txt file in the themes folder on my device. On top of that I found out about the day/night setting of the themes.

Now comes the hard part (at least for me): I like to have the same theme day or night (ultra minimalist red, to be specific) but I like to alter the color of the night theme slightly to better fit the car (the white text of the standard scheme needs to glow blueish at night), (how) is this possible? I can only find and alter a “day” properties.txt file..

Thanks very much!

I was about to ask the same question…

Why isn’t this documented on the wiki?

There should be a hidden folder…

/.torque/themeDirNight

which contains the same files for your
night time theme.

First of all, thanks for the reply.

I’ve been searching very deep, turend my whole device upsidedown (as a matter of speaking obviously 😉 ) but there is no nightfile on it. What am I doing wrong?

I have to say that I’ve read the wiki on themes top to bottom before asking it here but there is no mention of this on it.

Right, by restarting the device (I’m a professional driver so I use torque daily for many hours and I actually have a device especially for it in my car) for the first time in more than a year I’ve found the .themeDirNight file and made all the needed changes. Thank you very much for the help there

Next question haha,
I wanted to change the start and stop angle of my Turbo boost dial for the day theme to the same setting as the night dial. I tried to do this by copy and paste the code but it doess’t work.

dialStartAngle_ff1202=50 dialStopAngle_ff1202=90

Is there some sort of error in this code?
