.attheme editor blog

Have you ever wondered what does the button titled ”Download the workspace” do? This button is very useful if you make use of custom palettes! Let's see how.

Let's define a color in the theme's custom palette, one of the ways you can do it is ”Edit the theme's custom palette” at the top → ”Add a new color” (define as much as you want and choose colors you like). If you download your theme using the button in the bottom right corner or ”Download .attheme directly” and open this file in the editor again, you won't see the palette you defined. What a pity!

If you use the ”Download the workplace" button, you'll get an .attheme-editor file. And this is not a theme you can apply in Telegram. The editor saved its internal representation of the theme. If you open the file in the editor, you'll see the palette in its original state. The editor saves everything in this file, including the theme's name and the custom palette. You may rename the file, but the editor will show the name saved in the file contents and not from its name.

This button will become even more useful with updates. We're planning on making linkage of variable, just like .tdesktop-theme does. When downloading an .attheme, all the linkage will have to be resolved and you won't be able to restore it back from .attheme. But with .attheme-editor, you'll always have a version of your theme with all linkage saved.
