Nord (themes/nord_theme.tres) uses the app icon's blues, darkened, with Nord's Snow Storm text, Frost and Aurora accents and the playing song in Aurora yellow. Its shapes are round: pill buttons and tabs, 14-16 px corners, soft shadows on popups, cards and the player bar, rounded scroll bars, sliders and text fields, and seven Aurora/Frost colours for the score graph. Classic stays the default. The player bar now has 16 px to the song buttons, the player list, Quiz settings and the window's bottom edge, and the right edges line up at 1856. The volume icon is a flat button with a PlayerIcon style, so each theme colours it; it was nearly invisible on Original web's light grey bar.

# Themes
|
||
|
||
The whole look of the game comes from a theme. Scenes and scripts never set colours,
|
||
font sizes or style boxes themselves; they name one of the theme's styles instead, and
|
||
`tests/integration/test_theme.gd` checks that it stays that way.
|
||
|
||
| Theme | File | |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Classic | `main_theme.tres` | The default. Also the project theme (Project Settings → GUI → Theme → Custom), which the editor shows |
|
||
| Original web | `original_web_theme.tres` | Looks like MusicFrontend, the web version: orange-bordered buttons, `#333` header and popups, `#424242` panels, `#4e4e4e` alternating rows, a yellow playing song and a light grey player bar |
|
||
| Nord | `nord_theme.tres` | Dark blues from the app icon (`#1e4a69` window, `#1a3e5a` panels, `#29577f` buttons) with Nord's Snow Storm text, Frost and Aurora accents: Aurora yellow `#EBCB8B` for the playing song and highlights. Round shapes: pill buttons and tabs, 14–16 px corners, soft shadows on popups, cards and the player bar, and rounded text fields |
|
||
|
||
## Picking a theme
|
||
|
||
The themes are listed in `Settings.THEMES` (`data/settings.gd`): an id, the name shown
|
||
and the file. The player picks one in Settings → Theme, and it applies at once.
|
||
`Settings.apply_theme()` sets the theme of the root window, which every control without a
|
||
theme of its own uses, and saves the id as `theme_id` in `settings.cfg`. The saved theme
|
||
is applied when the game starts.
|
||
|
||
Code that reads theme colours itself redraws on `NOTIFICATION_THEME_CHANGED`, e.g. the
|
||
score graph and the popup backdrop. `Settings.theme_changed` is emitted after a switch.
|
||
|
||
To see the pictures of the screenshot tour in another theme, pass its id:
|
||
`godot --path . -s tools/take_screenshots.gd -- <dir> original_web`.
|
||
|
||
## Making a new theme
|
||
|
||
1. Copy `main_theme.tres`, e.g. to `dark_blue_theme.tres`.
|
||
2. Open the copy in Godot (double-click it) and change its colours, style boxes and font
|
||
sizes in the theme editor. Keep every style's name.
|
||
3. Add it to `Settings.THEMES`. `test_theme.gd` checks that it has every style, colour and
|
||
size that `main_theme.tres` has.
|
||
|
||
The **font** is the theme's default font, Godot's own Open Sans with Noto Sans JP for
|
||
Japanese text; see `fonts/README.md`.
|
||
|
||
Icons (play, restart, add player, the slider and switch knobs) are not part of the theme;
|
||
they come from the image files in `icons/` and Godot's built-in theme.
|
||
|
||
## What is in the theme
|
||
|
||
**Godot's default look** for every kind of control the game uses (Button, Label, Panel,
|
||
CheckButton, sliders, scroll bars, text fields and so on), copied in so it can be changed
|
||
here.
|
||
|
||

|
||
