Scheme files will determine what to do with your files within ./images/ and alter the aesthetic and operations of your theme. You’ll be able to change variables per program here such as;
The alignment of the navigation buttons in the footer.
Colour and transparency of all text + backgrounds.
Positioning of text.
Hex codes are 6 digit sequences that determine the colours of different elements.
Alphas range from 0-255, with 0 being invisible and 255 being opaque.
Below you will find all the available attributes you can change in a scheme file, and explanations for every line.
Tip: Refer to the Theme Structure page to find the muxprogram list. Each individual page can have unique properties by creating another.txtfile within the./scheme/folder with matching names to that program.
Scheme File Line-By-Line
