Configuration

themes.d Directory

The themes.d directory serves as the repository for your theme files. By default, the Theme Manager looks for theme files in this directory unless specified otherwise.

Configuration File (hue.config)

The configuration file hue.config stores essential settings for the Theme Manager, including:

• default_theme: Specifies the default theme to load if none is specified explicitly.
• themes_dir: Defines the directory where theme files (*.theme) are stored.
• manifest_file: Indicates the file (MANIFEST) containing theme hashes for validation.
• log_file: Path to the log file (theme.log) for recording theme management activities.

Ensure hue.config is correctly configured to align with your environment and requirements.

Usage

Importing the Theme Object

To utilize themes in your script, import the Theme object from the src module:

from src import Theme

Managing Themes

Loading a Theme

You can load a theme using its file name or the default theme specified in hue.config:

theme_manager = ThemeManager()
theme = theme_manager.get_theme_instance('my_theme.theme')  # Load specific theme

Validating a Theme

Validate a theme against its hash in the manifest file to ensure integrity:

theme_manager = ThemeManager()
valid = theme_manager.validate_theme('my_theme.theme')  # Validate specific theme

Useful Tidbits

• Dynamic Theme Loading: Themes are dynamically loaded and can be swapped during runtime based on your application's needs.
• Logging: The Theme Manager logs activities to theme.log, providing visibility into theme loading and validation operations.
• Extensibility: Customize hue.config and extend the Theme class as per your project's thematic requirements.

Example

hue import ThemeManager


# Initialize ThemeManager instance
theme_manager = ThemeManager()
theme_manager.setup_logging()

# Load and validate a specific theme
theme = theme_manager.get_theme_instance('my_theme.theme')
if theme:
    print(f"Loaded theme: {theme.list_theme_attributes()}")

# Validate the loaded theme
valid = theme_manager.validate_theme('my_theme.theme')
if valid:
    print("Theme validated successfully.")
else:
    print("Failed to validate theme.")
