[Guide] How to Make and Download Themes - Beginner's Guide

Send me your CSS(Upload and link me) I'll check it. If i find no problems, then the image does not fit

 

i culd totally sweep u all lik a total baws 8) i love using hacked pokes

 

Well since my Pokemon Online is never going to work for me I shall start making themes. My Pokemon Online will open but when it does my screen shrinks and I am not very happy.
Currently:
Making a Unova Region Theme/will be out in 2 days time.

 

I am trying to get into Theme making as well as scripting. Any tips? Or, some request for themes?

 

Spoiler

VPS try to make a happy tree live theme[/HIDE]
Can you? :)

 

How did you use an image as the main PO menu background?

 

Read the tutorial and you'll know

 

Never mind, I found it out. It wasn't made clear in this thread.
Thanks for the 'help' though.

 

Anybody got a clue on how to separate MainWidget?

Code (text):

1. MainWidget {
2.     background: #abf4cc;
3. }

Is what mine is and this is what I'm getting:




etc etc. It outputs correctly and all that jazz, but I don't want the same color everywhere ^^;. I've tried a couple different things but no dice :s.

 

Did you try including the Mainwidget code under Mainchat? Then it can apply specifically to that. Just a thought, try it and give me feedback!

 

Either what you suggested won't work or I'm misunderstanding you. Maybe post an example?

Edit:
What about how to distinguish between the different buttons?

I might want the ones on the left to be different from the other ones.

I found Save Profile, Box Center, and Delete Profile; but I couldn't get Clear Profile or Pokedex to work (I think I know why Pokedex doesn't though.) Moogle is a cheater. Let's all tell her to make a thread with all this stuff :00.

Code (text):

1. TrainerMenu QPushButton#saveProfile {
2. stuff
3. }
4.  
5. TrainerMenu QPushButton#boxCenter {
6. stuff
7. }
8.  
9. TrainerMenu QPushButton#pokedex {
10. stuff
11. }
12.  
13. TrainerMenu QPushButton#newProfile {
14. stuff
15. } //for clear profile
16.  
17. TrainerMenu QPushButton#deleteProfile {
18. stuff
19. }

Just in case someone has the same problem in the future ^_^;.

 

hi I need some help its too complicated

 

It would help to give specifics. What exactly do you need particular help with?

 

Hey Samphire, I could use some help.... I was going through the default.css and can't seem to find where I can change the userlist background, any idea?

 

Hi,
it should be this one:

Code (text):

1. Client QTreeWidget {
2.     background-color:#D9EBFA;
3.     border:1px solid black;
4.     border-radius:2px;
5.     }

 

Hey trying to add some buttons when you battle, trying to use -

And the only thing that pops up are the basic buttons, even using themes with that style added into them, they still dont pop up.
But I have ver 2.2.3 so wondering if that has something to do with it?
Thanks
Aeo

 

Do you have the box for old school battle buttons checked on your PO client? That might be the problem.

 

Indeed it was checked, unchecked and tada! =D

 

Wow, just been browsing through. Didn't know the theme can actually be used for changing the battle window background. I'll probably have a go at this when I get time. :)

 

"Default CSS" link won't work.

 

You should also mention the program Paint.NET, which is basically the rival to GIMP.

Paint.NET to Gimp like Coke to Pepsi.

The website is: http://www.getpaint.net

 

This is so...tedious. I have literally downloaded GIMP ( not even sure what it does *sad emoticon*) and Notepad++ and I still can't figure out what's next. In addition, the link for the CSS template isn't working for me. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you for your time.

Another Issue, I can not seem to find out how to open a theme I have recently downloaded. Some instruction is desired in the subject. Also, correct me if this is not the appropriate place to inquire assistance on the topic of themes, I am a bit new.

 

oh my god....... My brain really hurts after reading that

 

By open, do you mean using the theme in the client, or opening the Theme folder itself?
A successfully installed theme wil be in your Themes folder, so find your program folder for Pokémon Online, open it, and in there you will see a folder marked 'Themes'. Open that up and you will see folders for all installed themes.

To use a theme on the client, on the top menu bar you will find one that says 'Themes' so long as the theme is installed in the 'Themes' folder, you will find it in the dropdown list. Select it to use it. For themes that have cosmetic changes such as custom user icons, you will need to exit out of the main chat in order for these to change, as they will not do so automatically and have to be reloaded by going out and back in.

I hope this starts to clear things up.
In regards to the making of a theme, it is something that I would sugest you only do when you feel comfy enough. If you don't know how to work your tools, then it is not wise to create a whole theme by yourself. I would suggest duplicating a theme like Classic (one for safekeeping, and one to edit), and trying to edit small pieces at a time, so your learn what changes what to learn your way around how the themes work.

 

mkay thanks :D

 

Um im trying to make a theme for shiny ninetales but i need ALOT of help, think you can pm me?

 

If you are planning to make a theme from scratch, I would strongly recommend looking up CSS (Cascading Style Sheet). I've studied it here http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

For editing pictures to go with your theme, I would use GIMP free image editing software.

To make the CSS easiler to read, I would use Notepad++ for editing the default.css file in the theme folder.

If you don't want to spend too much time editing a bit of CSS code and continously reloading the theme to see the effects, everyone is welcome to download my Princess Luna theme. I've commented all the CSS code on the edits effects. There's just a few unknown sections that I can't idenfify but most of everything that is viewable is commented.

Also, you don't have to use mine. You could use others as a template and just make edits to your liking.

Hope this helps.

 

Can You DL Themes In Android? (Or Make A Version You Can)

 

At the moment. Android version of PO doesn't support themes. I hadn't updated yet so I maybe wrong. I don't think there are any plans at the moment of one being implemented unless someone offers to help develop one in spare time. But it would be nice to choose a background for each menu and change text colour.

 

I"ll try it

 

Hello. I hope this is the right Thread to post my question, but how can i fix this?

I have this problem with any theme i downloaded so far.

 

That's because themes don't update their battlefields to match the newest version. To fix this, just simply move the battlefields folder in classic and replace the one in the folder of the theme you are using.

 

Thank you for the quick help :)

 

Hola Nexus, ¿como hago para poner el background del main menu de Pokémon Online en mi trainer info? Esa que tiene un Latias y un Latios.

Espero tu respuesta. Gracias.

 

Code (html5):

1. <img src="pokemon:num=380&gen=6&shiny=false&back=false">
2. <img src="pokemon:num=381&gen=6&shiny=false&back=false">

Place this in your trainer information. Also you can edit the values of the img tag to your preference.
