Nice, it no longer needs XQuartz to run. https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0/?latest=1 Edited November 2, 2019 by Badruzeus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdesign Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hmm, I guess no one is trying to edit or create vector themes I've got a question. I was just trying to scale Clovy from 1366x768 to 2560x1440 to make the icons appear not so large and change the font from Roboto to Avenir. I choose just the background element and scaled them and changed the fonts. That worked perfectly and now the icon are smaller on the screen. But, now all the menus are non existent, none of the labels show up. What am I doing wrong? Even if I just change the background elements and not touch the fonts the same thing happens.

pkdesign Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I was editing the files with Adobe Illustrator. I thought that was fine. So I decided to edit one item at a time. I opened the original Clovy with TextEdit, changed the indicated line to "Avenir-Medium" (the postscript name for the font) saved and restarted. This did not change the font. I tried HelveticaNeue but that did nothing either. Although, if I open that file in Illustrator, the font change is there.

Slice Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 But where is the font? Illustrator thinks it is in the system. Clover does not. It works before a system loaded. Clover want the font to be embedded in the theme or attached in the same folder. See theme "cesium" with five fonts used. Two embedded and three attached.

pkdesign Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I think I finally have this working! It is a bit complicated but ultimately rewarding. I have two questions, 1) I see no icon for "Boot UEFI internal from System." This seems to happen in several themes including Clovy: 2) I see a "selection indicator" in the template which seem like an alternative to "selection big" but how do I activate it rather than the selection big"?

Slice Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Selection_indicator was invented for BootCampStyle. If you want to see it you have to edit your theme.svg <clover:theme BootCampStyle="1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Just tried latest Clover release 5117 with BGM SVG and the UI is correctly rendering it again. Nice! And I no longer have a hang after choosing to boot an OS (which I used to get many moons back). Well done Clover devs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdesign Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Okay, I think I've finally finished my first SVG theme and got it just the way I want it. It is designed for 2K or 4K displays but will work with a 1920x1080 display. If this is correct and meets your approval I'd love to add it to theme repository. I have no idea how to do that.

blackosx Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) @Slice I posted the other day that I could load my BGM_SVG theme with r5117 but I've not been able to load it again since.

Success!

EDIT2: Moving forward, can there be some kind of list of all new additions to Clovy theme which other themes MUST also add? Or can VectorGraphics.cpp be changed to not fail parsing because of a new missing element? EDIT3: It seems my Silver vector theme already had selection_indicator in place and I added it to CloverSgvThemeBuilder in back in January 2019. So my bad for not updating BGM_SVG.

blackosx Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Problem solved. It was due to BGM_SVG not having 'selection_indicator' in theme.svg file. This check in vectorGraphicsApp.cpp returns error status when 'selection_indicator' is missing so theme parsing fails. Can you maybe add a message to bootlog to highlight required missing elements in svg theme file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything in the theme is vector based. There are no raster images at all. Theme scales beautifully up and down. My only comment is that the icons appear small-ish at lower resolutions, not rasterized. I don’t like giant icons at 2 and 4K so they are drawn at 152 px. How do you keep hard drive icons always a particular size relative to the screen, i.e 144px icon no matter if your screen resolution is 1980 or 2560 or 3840 Edited May 20, 2020 by pkdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
