You can create your own theme by modifying the configuration file.
It is possible to modify:

  • Sprites like: cursor, fonts, virtual keyboard, buttons, icons…
  • The palette
  • The SFX
  • The screen size…

Use Shared Themes

Use other's themes by replacing your configuration cart by the theme cart.
The path to the config.tic file is displayed by the config command.

Use_theme

You can also choose to use only part of the theme by using the load function to load only the code, sprites, palette... to your config.tic cart.

Example Themes

Red Theme by Skeptim

I changed the palette keeping the Sweetie16 colors but reorganizing them, and I re-drew most of the sprites.
The theme cart is at https://tic80.com/play?cart=3609

MypkaXMAS by MypkaMax

This theme was designed to celebrate Christmas 2023.
In addition to changing colour numbers used by the code editor, this theme also adds a custom palette, sound effects, font and even the keyboard graphic.

Invert by Luke

After canceling the Descriptive theme, I got this idea.

Can't give the link, because in progress.

Editor screenshot as cover image

Running a cart with an empty TIC() function will display the cover, or if there is no cover, it will keep the screen as it is. Therefore one can switch to the editor of choice, run the game with empty TIC() function to get the editor displayed in game and press F7 to get this editor as cover.

function TIC()
end

That works better with some editors than others.
