Hello.
Tell me how it is done?

Sorry for not responding, as I haven’t been frequenting this site forum last couple of years, as it’s been stressful, and I’m sure you don’t need to know the biggest reason for that, as the whole world is facing it still, as 2022 starts…

if you need to refer back to your previous posts where you mentioned me, feel free, but, in answer to your question as to how it is done, I assume you are talking about how making a theme zip is done, in which case you would just go to your torque themes directory, if it is available to you, and put all the files therein into a zip file, after which you would then upload the file to some place like Google drive and then share it with those you would like to be able to use it and download it. If you were meaning something else then I am not quite sure what you meant. Also, if you were to make a theme zip and not get the directory structure completely correct, don’t worry, as I’m sure it would still work for my needs.

Hi!

I have released a new theme plugin template/example app on github https://github.com/piemmm/torque-theme-plugin for anyone to make themes with

The plugin allows themes to be sent to torque (and appear in the themes list directly) in the app so the user can simply choose them in the theme activity

This will be active in the next beta update sometime next week in version 1.10.260

Hi

The theme author needs to update their theme distribution using the example code located at: https://github.com/piemmm/torque-theme-plugin

This is due to Android 12s new restrictive permissions which means the old distribution methods will no longer work. However the new theme method is considerably better (and the example code is simple to adapt) – please encourage the theme authors if you can

Hi!

Not yet (but that’s a good idea and I’ve added it to the list of things to do)

I’ve had a look at legacy themes tonight as well, and have added a workaround to let people import legacy themes until the authors update – this will make it into tomorrows beta

Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and have been using Torque Pro for a few years. I own a 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 DI-D (PSA engine) and since I have an Android car stereo, I wanted a theme that would match the analog instrument cluster; I downloaded the Mazda 3 (for day) and Mazda 6 (for night) themes from the available themes, I changed the “Fonts” of both themes, replacing them with “Font – Eurostile Bold” (similar to analogue instrumentation) and I set the colors (in the property.txt file) of the numbers and text with color code FFFFFF (white) while the indicators and lines were coded with the color 80000. Once this was done, the instrumentation appears to be like the original one. I hope I have been helpful to other users.
