📖 Overview

Themes in PortProtonQT allow customizing the UI appearance and sounds. Themes are stored under:

• ~/.local/share/PortProtonQT/themes.

---

📁 Creating the Theme Folder

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/PortProtonQT/themes/my_custom_theme

---

🎨 Style File (styles.py)

Create a styles.py in the theme root. It should define variables or functions that return CSS.

Example:

# Sound effects mapping
SOUNDS = {
    "app_start": "app_start.wav",           # Application startup
    "app_exit": "app_exit.wav",             # Application exit
}

def custom_button_style(color1, color2):
    return f"""
    QPushButton {{
        background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0,
                                    stop:0 {color1}, stop:1 {color2});
    }}
    """
