The download worked OK and the theme loads OK. I notice the theme properties are not populated. Is that intentional? If not, open the theme in the editor, click on properties to add a description, author and preview image.

Nope, not intentional; total oversight. Thanks, Scook for picking that up.
 
Can you check it for me? It's changed.

May want upload the file as Mercsten.sth so that the file and preference drop down name are the same.

Worked out a nice way of hosting and displaying thumbnail which links to  a larger picture.
 
see example of Scook's in the opening thread : Sonar Utils and resources

I think I cleared that up a bit as well. Can you check it?

Properties are still empty and the file name is now "Mercsten, a Tungsten-Mercury Hybrid theme.sth" which is OK if a little verbose. Since the user themes reside in a themes folder, I think adding theme to the name is redundant. I would still suggest Mercsten.sth might be enough if the properties page was completed for the theme.

Here is another alloy of tungsten and mercury.

Tuncury can be found in the themes area here
I also sent a link to the theme to user Elffin the current maintainer of the SONAR Resources and Utilities thread





That looks really nice!
 
If I get time, I may eventually do a deep red (like a garnet red) theme or a medium green theme (both over the Tungsten background, tough I may darken that a bit as well).  This was time-consuming, however, and I had to redraw a number of markings on the buttons when the lasso tool seemed a bit rough.
 
My wife said that I looked physically "drawn" after doing it. I guess I'm a bit obsessive.

Thanks
Yeah, it is a lot of work especially for those of us who don't work with image editors very often.

Thanks again, Scook.
 
Verbosity's my middle name (my parents were slightly odd). I did shorten it just now.
 
Third time's a charm?

Looks good.
