Themes?

[yanandcoffee]

I know that Life is meant to be super simple, but looking at the compilation of Lives, it seems like people's Lives could certainly use some more different kinds of flavoring instead of all looking the same; so I created a few themes to share, hopefully to inspire others to theme their own Life and share it with others.

To make Life simple, I don't think I'll add themes support, but you're free to host some themes/CSS on your own, perhaps by creating a life-themes repo and host the css files for other people to link to, via the customStylesheetURL config. This way, you can focus on maintaining your themes and I'll focus on maintaining Life.

Once you do that, I'll create a wiki page here to list themes (with screenshots) and obviously, link it from the README 😃

Sounds great :). I've created a life-themes repo for purely themes here: https://github.com/yanandcoffee/life-themes

I may create a Github page for demoing the different themes on one page so it'd be more interactive. Will post back on that soon.

Live theme demo/skinning available here: http://yanandcoffee.github.io/life-themes/

Theme selector at bottom. There's a slight conflict with the selector and Life's slider, but for demoing purposes, should be okay.

Hey, that's really cool! Regarding the README steps for How to theme your Life, I would prefer to simplify that by just editting config.json and point customStylesheetURL to perhaps http://kaizora.github.io/life-themes/dist/v1/playful.css.

So it's one CSS file per theme and pointing to your repo instead of hosting it themselves.

Thanks! That makes sense. I've updated the README to reflect those changes :).

Wow. Its cool 👍

@kaizora you could actually put your sass/scss files and build files in your repo too 😉

I'll be linking to your themes soon. Thanks!

@cheeaun 😄 Uploaded!
No rush :). And thanks to you for creating such a neat tool.
