Ignore all this, MapTool now uses a different theme library - leaving the page here for future updates

MapTool uses the TinyLaF look-and-feel library for the look and feel of MapTool. MapTool uses the default theme of TinyLaF by, well, default but this can be changed by placing a different default.theme file where it can be found when MapTool starts.

For MapTool v1.5 and earlier, the preferred location is in the home directory of your user account. A theme placed there will be loaded by any version of MapTool no matter where it is installed. Alternatively you can put it in the MapTool working directory alongside the .jar file where it will only be seen by that particular install of MapTool.

For MapTool v1.5 or earlier the theme file must be renamed to Default.theme to be automatically loaded. Case doesn't matter on Windows but may on Linux and MacOS.

For MapTool versions 1.6 and later the theme can be chosen via the Themes menu in MapTool and can have any name you desire.

Theme Locations

Theme locations apply to MT versions 1.5 or earlier. For 1.6 and later use C:\Users\[user]\.maptool-rptools\themes\ui

User Home under Windows:

%USERPROFILE%

(The placeholder %USERPROFILE% points to your user home directory, e.g. C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME. You can type this in the explorer or any file dialog.)

MapTool config directory under Windows:

%USERPROFILE%\.maptool-rptools\config

Working directory for default installation under Windows

%USERPROFILE%\appdata\local\MapTool\app
