Theme Tool

Theme Tool for Sailfish OS is a little handy utility to check out the details of your current ambience. It shows sizes and colors of various elements, and it can also change the system font size - conveniently even from the cover page! It automatically updates its contente whenever ambience change is detected.

This app is not intended to replace the SDK emulator bundled Components app, but complement it. I personally find the Components app too crowded for quick glancing, so I created this application with a selection of ambience-related items, such as colors and font sizes.

Development is done with SFOS 3 in mind, but I'll try to keep it compatible with SFOS 2, too. Please comment here, or preferably create GitHub issues, if you find compatibility issues. It's cumbersome to run old version of Sailfish SDK on one computer (previous version checkboxes only include SFOS 3 releases), so some changes may break the compatibility.

I created this tool for myself, but I hope it could be useful to other people, too. Any suggestions or comments are welcome!

If you like this app and would like to support me, you can buy me a nice hot cup of coffee!

Siis miten tämän pitäisi toimia? Saan vain muutettua fontin kokoa...

Ohjelman tarkoituksena on näyttää eri teemaelementtien koot ja värit, ja tietoa käytössä olevasta tunnelmasta. Fonttikoon muuttaminen on ainoa asia, jota sovelluksella voi "tehdä" (ja sekin on itse asiassa olemassa alun perin siitä syystä, että SDK-emulaattorissa ei voi asetuksista muuttaa fontin kokoa).

Starting the app I get a white screen. I'm on SFOS 2.2.1.18. Is it necessary to move to 3.XX to get it to work, or is there a workaround ?

I haven't tested the app with other than SFOS 3.2.0, but I think 2.x versions can be added in the emulator. I can check it later.

In the meantime; could you create a ticket in GitHub, start the app from terminal and post the output in the ticket? Thanks!

plan to provide Chinese translation for it

Done; now the application is translatable!

Sure! I'll add the translations mechanics in GitHub, so you can translate it.
