Version 0.4.3.0 Released! Overlay theming introduced!

Hey everyone!

Chronos has been updated and now supports overlay themes!

You can create themes by editing a .chronosoverlay file. These files can be found in your ChronosServer or ChronosClient folder under OverlayThemes. Simply copy the default theme (1.chronosoverlay) to your desktop (don't make a copy in the same folder) and then edit it as you like! Next, head to the basic settings page of Chronos and add your new theme!

When you first start Chronos, your current overlay settings are preserved.

However, activating a theme (whether or not it is already active) will inherit the theme colors. You may put your own colors on top after that point by changing the usual overlay settings, but remember that activating a theme again will use the colors from that theme again.

So basically, load a theme up and change the colors how you want :).

I've started the ball rolling with a "compact" theme available on the downloads page. Be sure to let me know if you guys come up with any interesting themes!

By the way, if you need to change the colors of the timer progress bars in any custom themes you might create, you'll need to set Overwrite Windows Style to [True]. If you've loaded Chronos with the default green Windows progress bars and you've tried to change their color, try applying your theme and restarting Chronos to make it show up correctly.


Thanks!


Feina.
