Hi! I'm MingoMongo. Here's a theme I made for Cockatrice born from my love for "Dark Modes", modern graphic design, and my disbelief that Cockatrice's default theme was so... default. I made a lot of compromises making this but I think you'll enjoy it just the same! Thanks to Artemis' MTGO Theme and Ahzmund's Tabletop Theme for giving me a great place to start and lending some resources! I would also like to apologise that this isn't entirely "dark", but the chat and plaer systems have non-adjustable colours means some backgrounds have to be light :(

BEFORE DOWNLOADING: Mac users will experience a pattern of 3 lines over the right of the deck editor (https://imgur.com/a/Xus6zi2), this is a known issue and seems to happen with all mac themes. Additionally, all platforms will experience some alignment issues with lists and their headers, this is unfortunately not fixable with the theme due to Cockatrice's code. There is also one button I cannot change. sigh. I've done all I can to minimize these glitches, but they should be expected.
Also, if you're interested in editing this theme, here are the Illustrator and Photoshop I used to create the graphics.
- Download the Source Code zip from above and drag it to the correct directory below. If you haven't installed a theme before the "themes" folder won't exist, so create it!.
- Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Cockatrice\Cockatrice\themes
- Linux: ~/.local/share/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/themes
- Mac OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/themes
- After, unzip the folder then drag the first folder out. Essentially, you want the folder order to be: /themes/DarkMingo-Theme-for-Cockatrice-1.0/ then all the contents. If there's another folder inbetween the theme won't work.
- Then go to Settings > Appearance on Cockatrice, then select the theme from the dropdown, then restart Cockatrice to get everything showing how it should.
- Mac: 3 lines appear on top of the deck editor when QWidget's color property is changed
- Space at bottom of theme combobox dropdown and only on that dropdown, doesn't matter unless you change theme a lot. Seems to be linked to QWidget?
- Headers in shortcut menu change when hovered
- Headers in server replay storage don't color the empty header that should fit the rest of the way
- Mac: QMainWindow::separator images do not appear
- Middle-click card info has the ugly QFrame style with sharp edges, not sure how to change it.
- The glow on active phase buttons and battlefields
- ChatView's alternating row colors
- QTreeView's "has:children" items are locked for font weight and font size
- QHeaderView's single-side borders and :selected are broken, icons customisation is very limited (???)
- Hyperlink colors
- Scaling the Cockatrice logo with the QTreeView
- Server online icon
- Any icon that isn't saved locally
- If two buttons are after the same file you can't make one of them have a different icon.
- The list of "settings" icon container height
- QLineEdit clear button has no property to change it.
