marcel

Dynamic theme library for the iced GUI framework

marcel introduces a new way to load and manage themes for the iced GUI framework, allowing the users to distribute and develop their own themes.

This crate integrates seamlessly with both iced in the GUI front and serde in the Serialization front, while being agnostic to the serialization format chosen by the user.

Usage

Add this to you Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
marcel = "0.1"

To get started check out the Github wiki.

File structure for packaged themes

The file structure of the themes is designed to be easily packaged and highly portable. The root folder can be stored as a compressed folder (.zip, .rar, etc...) and be used in any iced application through marcel.

<Theme Name>        # <-- Base folder of the theme
| - theme.xxx       # <-- File named 'theme' with the file format extension (JSON, RON, BON, etc...)
| - theme.meta.xxx  # <-- File named 'theme.meta' with the file format extension (JSON, RON, BON, etc...)
| - img/            # <-- Folder with the images and icons of the theme
| | - img.meta.xxx  # <-- File named 'img.meta' with the file format extension (JSON, RON, BON, etc...)
| | - image.jpg
| | - icon.png
| - font            # <-- Folder with the fonts of the theme
| | - font.ttf

theme.xxx contains the full theme contents. This file will be parsed into an iced theme.

theme.meta.xxx is an optional file that contains some metadata of the theme such as descriptions and information. This file is used for theme modification and UI/UX.

img/ is the folder which contains all the icons and images referenced in the theme.

img.meta.xxx is an optional file that contains some metadata of the images such as descriptions and information. This file is used for theme modification and UI/UX.

font/ is the folder which contains all the fonts used by the theme.
