Hey there, intrepid trader! 🌟 Tired of staring at the same ol' screen all day? Want to add a little spice to your trading life? You've come to the right place! We've got three amazing color themes that’ll transform your Quantower platform into a visual masterpiece. Whether you're into the dark, mysterious vibes of Dracula, the gothic intensity of Dracula Pro Van Helsing, or the gentle, eye-soothing contrast of Solarized, we've got you covered.
Let's dive into how you can install these themes and give your trading experience a fresh coat of paint!
Get a sneak peek of what each theme looks like before you dive in! Here are the images for each theme:
Dracula: Classic and cool, with a purplish undertone that whispers “I stay up late... trading.”
DraculaPro: For those who want their trading screen to feel like it’s been dipped in midnight oil.
Solarized: A soft, balanced palette that keeps your eyes fresh, even when the market is burning.
Decide which theme best suits your trading persona and copy the css content from that file:
Dracula: Classic purplish dark color theme, perfect for late-night market hunts.
Dracula Pro Van Helsing: Dive into the gothic depths with the Dracula Pro Van Helsing palette. Beware: It’s very dark and very stylish.
Solarized: Go easy on the eyes with the Solarized dark palette. It’s like trading in a serene zen garden where everything is washed out a bit.
Now let’s get into the nuts and bolts. Here’s the roadmap:
-
Navigate to your Quantower root directory. This is where all the Quantower magic happens. Think of it as the Hogwarts of trading.
-
Within your Quantower root, go to the
Settings\Themes
directory. IfThemes
doesn’t exist yet, no worries—just create it! -
Inside the
Settings\Themes
create a new directory with the name of your chosen theme:Dracula
,DraculaPro
,Solarized
- pick the one that speaks to your soul — or your eyes. -
Inside your newly created theme folder (e.g.,
Dracula
), create another directory namedcss
. Yes, it's a directory within directory — like Russian nesting dolls, but more technical.
-
In the
css
directory, create a file namedcolors.css
. -
Copy the CSS content from the corresponding file in this repo and paste it into your
<quantower>\Settings\Themes\Dracula\css\colors.css
file. (or\Solarized\css\colors.css
or\DraculaPro\css\colors.css
) -
Start Quantower, go to the first settings page and pick your new theme - should be visible at the top of settings pane. Voilà! You've just given your Quantower a shiny new coat of paint.
If you run into any issues, don’t panic! Just make sure:
- You are in the correct Quantower directory structure
- The colors.css file has the right name and is in the right place.
- You’re using the correct CSS content for your theme.
Still stuck? Try turning Quantower off and on again. Just kidding — actually, that might work. If not, you might want to consult the all-knowing internet.
