Randy Mac version 0.03b released — surprisingly usable on Waze considering it was designed for a paper map. Changed the nav line to light blue for visibility. See post for details.

Color scheme: "Randy Mac"

Post by sketch
I wanted to try my hand at theming, so to start out I did one called Randy Mac, based on the atlas we all know.

changelog

0.03b
  • Replaced default travel line with light blue travel line—much easier to see against the map
0.02b
  • Replaced green travel line with default color for now
  • Lightened city layer significantly and replaced red city border with darker yellow
  • Increased saturation of water features - more blue, less gray
0.01b
  • First release!

Randy Mac 0.03b

I haven't done anything with text colors yet except on water features to match the water. The yellow background is the cities layer. Non-city background is pretty much white.

Originally I had a green nav line, but it didn't stand out enough against the map elements, and it didn't match the bubbles anyway. It'd be great to change the bubble colors too, but I don't know the parameters. I imagine it'd be possible if we could find out the parameter names.

Nice, I hope that one day the client will have a real night mode, not these bright buttons and white menu UI as operation at night is pretty annoying.

New night theme matching my Mazda6's dash... however these bright green navigation instructions colours are hardcoded in RoadMap source in navigate_bar.c. I asked alpha to move them into theme or preferences file.

Dear me, I just wanted to get back to my old night colors and was greeted by a b&w broken map. It turns out if you replace the schema file that is currently being used, it gets broken .. and stays broken until you reinstall :/ ugh. Not sure how long ago I tried that last time, must have been version pre-4.0, but it certainly did not break the client back then.

You surely can try ;)
Although I wouldn't expect a lot from that, the mapping of landmarks has changed a few times, who knows what are the "internal" types/names now ..

depends on what your display type is - tft, slcd, amoled, samoled .. the color presentation can vary wildly between the display types and even between different displays of the same type.

The last two digits are definitely some kind of opacity / alpha controls.

Labels.BgColor is used - it's the font outline for Road names, City names, etc.

You can try changing the Labels.BgColor from FF0000FF to FF000000 in a few steps and observe the red outlines fade away in the client.
