INet-Themes

Starting with JPortal v1.3 you can build themes from internet resources. You can find the corresponing menu button as seen in the below picture:



INet Theme configuration Menu


Themes are stored in a local directory in the "Themes" folder. A Theme consists mainly of image files, which must fit certain dimensions and a naming scheme.

The INet Themes enable you to build local JPortal themes from internet resources, without distributing the actual image files (which might in some rare cases be of dubious origin) - which reduces size of theme packages considerately.

The INet-Themes are still being worked on, but with the few features already finished you can achieve nice results.



INet Theme configuration


Here you can see the basic configuration screen.

In the upper third,
you can see the "usual" stuff. Name the theme, save, load etc.
You also see two additional buttons:

  1. Create Local theme (see below)

  2. Proxy Configuration (which opens a modal dialog where you can configure your proxy settings if needed)

The name you give here will also be the name of the to be generated local theme!

In the second third
you will be able to give the general theme setting which can also be configured for "local" themes. When generating a theme with INet resources, these setting will be used for the local theme. As of now there are only three settings available - but that might change in the future.

In the third third
you can actually configure the INet resources.
Each theme consists of a number of images (as of now a total of 24 images). For each image there is a "Theme ID". Each image can be configured by its own. If any image is not configured, the settings from the "default" theme will be taken. The Theme-ID can be selected, next to the selection the "real-name" of the image as it will be saved to the theme directory will be displayed.

Some images of a theme must have a fixed size, e.g. small mana symbols have a size of 16x16 pixels. If the image must have a fixed size, scaling values (see below) will be set correspondingly and changes are not allowed!

You can edit all images in one go - image information for one theme will be kept in memory - nonetheless it is never a bad idea to save often.

Below you can edit the settings for the chosen Theme ID.
