I want to upload my costume theme for other people to use but I cant find it! I assume it would be an XML file under:
Blender/Resources/2.79/scripts/presets/interface_theme/ -CustomeTheme.XML- (Or whatever I called it)
I am using a mac by the way.
or in any of the other directories under “Blender” (2.71, 2.72…)
I tried viewing all my hidden files under those directories I could not find any XML files.
What would be causing this? Is it possible that I changed where my costume theme files are saved? If so how can I fix this???
Well, I am not on Mac, so I do not really know, how the [user-based] data are driven. But under windows, if You adjust or build a new theme AND you do NOT change the paths while saving, it’s stored in the [user-name]/AppData/Roaming/BlenderFoundation/Blender/[Version-Number f.e. 2.79]/scripts/presets/interface_theme/
So I guess it should be the seccond path, I copied into my prior post. But maybe someone from a Mac could check this. otherwise… well Do a long-run search for files with XML extension and see, where they might be on your computer.
Thanks Mike. I did a search for all the XML files on my computer and came up with thousands as you might imagine. Non of the files appeared to have the name I gave the theme when I created it in blender.
As now seems obvious something is wrong or not normal. Would uninstalling and reinstalling blender fix this? how far do I have to go to fix this problem? different OS maybe?
I did eventually find the files after looking at the file path blender gave me when hoovering over the theme. The files were under a 2.79 directory on a secondary disk I have. I needed to use the terminal to unhide my hidden files before I was able to access the Library folder.
here are the hide and show commands I used:
show - defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
hide - defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
