🎨 Themes

📍 Where to find themes?

Community-made themes are available here.

🛠 How to create themes?

You can use the visual theme editor:
➡ WebUI

Alternatively, you can manually edit a theme file by:

1. Exporting the theme from your bitwig.jar using Bitwig Theme Editor.
2. Modifying the color values in the exported file.
3. Applying the theme back to Bitwig using the editor.

📖 How It Works

1. Run the export command to extract the current Bitwig theme from bitwig.jar.
   • The exported file will be in JSON or YAML format.
2. Modify the color values in the exported theme file.
3. Run the apply command to apply the edited theme.

🎉 Done! Your Bitwig Studio now has a custom theme!

Note: RGBA values (instead of RGB) are not supported since it may cause UI glitches.
However, you can use RGBA where it is already present in the theme file.
