Christmas theme 2018
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2018 10:07 am
The 2019 version of the MythCenterXMAS-wide theme is now available in the theme chooser as version 1.8 for 29.0 and 30.0-pre (master). This version contains all new background images and despite global warming it's still snowing
I noticed a bug in the theme updater in that it never removes old files that are no longer in the theme. Depending on what version of the theme you previously used this can cause some of the new background images to not show, it picks the old background*.png files rather than the new background*.jpg ones. Simple fix is to run in a terminal :-
That will remove the old png files that are no longer used. If you get 'No such file or directory' that's OK it just means there is no old pngs to remove.
I'm toying with the idea of making a kids version of the theme that will essentially be the same but will have different backgrounds with pictures of Santa, reindeer, presents etc. I may throw in a few animated gifs of santa, snow men etc. Anyone interested in something like this?
