About

This library is my answer to theming egui. There are other libraries, and approaches. I like this method because it is trait based, so many themes could be added to this crate for everyone to use.

Default themes

The library ships with the following themes if default features are left on. These should look great on Mac, Windows and Linux alike.

1. Standard Dark

   • Based off of the Gnome Adwaita color palette

2. Standard Light

   • Based off of the Gnome Adwaita color palette

Other themes

There are plenty of other themes that can be specified through features

1. Carl Dark

   • Based off of the Kde plasma theme

2. Nord (Light and Dark)

   • Based off the popular Nord theme

3. Tokyo Night (Dark and Storm)

   • Based off the VSCode Extension

4. Catpuccin

   • TODO

Install

The library is very flexible and doesn't force you to include themes you don't want.

This includes default features which is the Aesthetix trait, and the StandardDark and StandardLight themes

egui-aesthetix = "0.2.3"

Only includes the Aesthetix trait, no themes will be included

egui-aesthetix = { version = "0.2.3", default-features = false }

Include all the themes

egui-aesthetix = { version = "0.2.3", features = ["all_themes"] }

Only include standard themes and a specified theme (here carl is used as the specified theme)

egui-aesthetix = { version = "0.2.3", features = ["standard", "carl" ] }

Only include nord themes

egui-aesthetix = { version = "0.2.3", features = ["nord"] }

Only include tokyo night themes

egui-aesthetix = { version = "0.2.3", features = ["tokyo_night"] }

Usage

Here is the dashboard template from the above screenshots using this crate for its themes. The code is straight forward to read. Reading the egui-aesthetix source code and the dashboard code should give you more than enough information and context to use it in your own applications as well as implement your own custom themes using the Aesthetix trait. Happy Theming!!
