developers can easily make use of Ghidra's theming capabilities.</P>
<H2>Theme Resource Types</H2>
<P>When developing application code for Ghidra such as plugins, actions, etc., developers often
want to use a color, font, or icon. The key idea to support theming is to never directly
reference these resources. Instead, the developer should "create" an id string for the resource
and then in a .theme.properties file provide a default value for that id (and if appropriate,
also define an alternate default value if the theme is a "dark" theme).&nbsp; The way you
define and use these ids is a bit different depending on whether the resource is a color, font,
or icon. Colors and Icons are similar in that references are done using either GColor or GIcon,
Unfortunately, because of the way Fonts are implemented, there is no GFont, so using fonts is a
bit more involved.</P>

reference those resources. Instead, the developer should create an ID string for the resource
and then in a <CODE><I>module</I>.theme.properties</CODE> file, provide a default value for that ID.
(Also, you may define an alternate "dark" default value that will be used if the
current theme is considered a dark theme). The way you
define and use these IDs is a bit different depending on whether the resource is a color, font,
or icon. Colors and icons are similar in that developers use these types by creating either
<CODE>GColor</CODE> or <CODE>GIcon</CODE>.
Unfortunately, because of the way fonts are implemented, there is no equivalent
<CODE>GFont</CODE>, so using fonts is a bit more involved.</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Colors</H3>
<P>For colors, developers should use the GColor class. Simply construct a new GColor object
passing in the color resource id as the argument. GColor is a subclass of Color, so it can be
used anywhere a Color would be used. The developer then needs to provide a default value for
that id in the module's theme.properties file. So, for example:</P>

<P>The GColor class uses a delegation model where all method calls to GColor get mapped to
its delegate. If ever the color associated with a GColor's resource id changes, the GColor is
refreshed by calling the refresh() method. This is done automatically whenever the
Gui.setColor(id) is called or a new theme is loaded.</P>
<H3>Fonts</H3>
<P>Unfortunately, fonts able to use the delegation trick that was used for colors. Therefore,
there is no GFont class. Programming fonts requires a bit more work. If the use of a font is
in a renderer or in a paint method, imply get the font each time from the Gui class (Font

<P>The default values for resource IDs are defined in files that reside

modules make use of multiple files in order to better manage the volume of IDs. In this
case, the name of each properties file offers a clue as to its contents. Thus, for small
modules, those without many resource IDs in use, one theme properties file is sufficient to
easily define and manage all required IDs. But, we recommend larger modules use multiple
files, one for each sub-feature. The application will find all theme property files as long as

built-in theme, then the only choice is to save the theme with a new theme name. Saving the
theme will create a new xxx.theme file where xxx is the name of the theme. Otherwise, the
built-in theme, then the only choice is to save using a new theme name. Saving the
theme will create a new "xyz.theme" file where "xyz" is the name of the theme. Otherwise, the
existing theme file can be overwritten or a new theme name can be supplied to save to a new
file.</P>
<H2>External Icons</H2>
<P>When settings icons for an icon resource id, the user has the option of using a icon that
exists on the application classpath or using any supported icon file (.png or .gif) If the user
chooses to use an icon file, then that icon will be copied into an images directory in their
application directory (.ghidra). These icons are considered external in that if the theme were
given to another user, you would also need to give them the icon files.</P>
<P>When setting icons for an icon resource ID, the user has the option of using an icon that
exists in the application (on the classpath) or using any supported icon file (.png or .gif) on
the filesystem. If the user
chooses to use a non-application icon file, then that icon will be copied into an images
directory in their application directory. These icons are considered external in that if the
theme were given to another user, you would also need to give them these icon files, as they
will not exist in other application installations.</P>
<H2>Importing/Exporting Themes</H2>
<P>Themes can be shared with other users by exporting and importing themes. When exporting a
theme that doesn't use any external icons (icons not on the classpath), the theme can be
exported to a .theme file of the users choosing. If the theme does contain external icons, the
user has the option to save the theme as a .zip file which would contain both the .theme file
exported to a <CODE>.theme</CODE> file of the user's choosing. If the theme does contain
external icons, the
user has the option to save the theme as a .zip file, which would contain both the .theme file
and all the external icon files.</P>
<H2>LookAndFeel Notes</H2>
<H2>Look and Feel Notes</H2>
<P>Getting the theming feature to work on all the various Java LookAndFeels is a
challenge.&nbsp; Java created the concept of UiDefaults, which is a mapping of property names
to values. The implication is that users can change default values by setting values on the
UIDefaults. Unfortunately, not all LookAndFeels support this concept. Nimbus and GTK+, in
particular are problematic. Nimbus sort of honors values in UIDefaults, but only if they are
installed before Nimbus is loaded. So for out theming purposes, we had to extend the Nimbus
LookAndFeel in order to override the getDefaults() method (this is the method where
LookAndFeels populate the UiDefaults) so that we can install any overridden values from the
selected theme. Also, every time a Java defined property changes, we have to re-install the
Nimbus LookAndFeel because once it is installed, it no longer pays attention to changes to the
UIDefaults.&nbsp; The GTK+ LookAndFeel is even more problematic. It gets many of its properties

<H1>Theming Overview</H1>
<P>This document describes Ghidra's support for using and managing UI themes.
</P>
<H2>Goal</H2>
<P>The goal was to add a theming infrastructure/feature to Ghidra that would allow
users/developers to completely configure the colors, fonts, and icons used within Ghidra. There
are two main reasons for creating this feature. The first reason is to create the much
requested "Dark Theme". Many people find Ghidra's current color scheme to be hard on the eyes
and would greatly appreciate a color scheme that is not so bright.&nbsp; The second reason is
for accessibility purposes. For example, the themeing feature would allow for the creating of a
high contrast color scheme, or a color scheme that helps mitigate color blindness or a theme
that uses larger fonts.</P>
&nbsp;
<P>The primary goal of theming in Ghidra is to allow users to customize the appearance of the UI
and to share that customization with the community. We added infrastructure to Ghidra that
allows users/developers to completely configure the colors, fonts, and icons used within
the application. There are two main motivations for creating this feature. The first is to
provide the much requested "Dark Theme". Many users find Ghidra's current color scheme to be
hard on the eyes and have requested a dark color scheme. The
second motivation for creating this feature is for accessibility purposes. For example, the
theming feature allows the user to create a theme that uses high contrast colors and larger
fonts.</P>
<H2>Background</H2>
<P>Ghidra previously used hundreds of hard coded colors, fonts, and icons.&nbsp; They are
<P>Before theming, Ghidra used thousands of hard-coded colors, fonts, and icons. They were
defined throughout the code in a somewhat haphazard fashion. Many features use colors to convey
similar concepts, but no effort was even made to use similar colors for those similar concepts.
Also, these colors were generally chosen to work with one of the common "light" java look and
feels. They often look terrible when used in conjunction with other LookAndFeels, especially
dark ones.</P>
similar concepts, but no effort was made to use similar colors for similar concepts.
Further, these colors were generally chosen to work with one of the common default Java Look and
Feels. (A Java Look and Feel is a grouping of UI settings that define the appearance of the
application.) Those original colors often looked terrible when used in conjunction with other
Look and Feels, especially dark ones.</P>
<P>Ghidra does allow some customization of the current colors using "options", but this falls
short for several reasons. One problem is that not all colors or fonts are changeable via the
options. Another problem is that the options are tool based and you have to make the same
customization for each tool. A third problem is that options are unrelated to the LookAndFeel
option. In other words you can't have different option choices depending on the current
LookAndFeel.</P>
<P>Ghidra did allow some customization of the current colors using the Ghidra Options API, but
this was inadequate for several reasons. One issue with this approach is that not all colors and
fonts are changeable via the options. Another issue is that the options are tool-based and you
have to make the same customization for each tool. A third problem is that options are unrelated
to the Look and Feel; you couldn't have different option choices depending on the current Look
and Feel.</P>
<P>Also, all of Ghidra's icons are hard coded and many are not suitable to use in a dark theme.
Overall, the hard coding of colors, fonts, and icons and the limitation of options makes
creating a good dark theme virtually impossible. So to address these issues, a new theming
<P>As mentioned, all of Ghidra's icons were hard-coded, with many not suitable for use in a dark
theme. Overall, the hard-coding of colors, fonts, and icons and the limitation of options made
creating a good dark theme virtually impossible. To address these issues, a new theming
infrastructure was created.</P>
<H2>General Concepts and Approach</H2>
<P>To achieve a theming capability in Ghidra, we had to implement the following concepts.
First, provide a level of indirection when using colors, fonts, or icons in code. Second,
introduce the concept of a theme which maps the indirect colors. font, and icons to actual
values in the context of a java LookAndFeel. Third, provide access to (and the ability to
change), the colors, fonts, and icons supplied by the Java LookAndFeel. And finally, provide
the GUIs needed to allow users to switch between, create, edit, save, import, and export
themes.</P>
<P>To achieve a theming capability in Ghidra, we had to make the following changes:</P>
<OL>
<LI>Replace hard-coded values with a level of indirection for colors, fonts, and icons
using property names/IDs
</LI>
<LI>Create the concept of a theme that allows for the the property values to change
as a group and along with the current Look and Feel in use
</LI>
<LI>Create an API that allows for the introduction of system-level properties that can
be mapped to specific Look and Feel values in order to create reusable groups of properties
</LI>
<LI>Provide methods for changing the property values, along with the ability to create,
edit, save, export and import themes
</LI>
</OL>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Indirection</H3>
<P>The basic idea for indirection is to never directly use a hard coded color, font, or icon
when developing a feature in the application. Instead, these properties will be indirectly
<P>The goal of using indirection is to remove all uses of hard-coded colors, fonts, and icons
when developing a feature in the application. Instead, these objects will be indirectly
referred to by an identifying string such as "color.bg.mywidget", where the string will
follow a known convention that helps indicate its use. Default values for these identifying
strings will be specified in data files that exist in the module where the code that defined
id is located. Also, the values associated with these ids can be either a concrete value such
as an actual color, font, or icon, or the value can be just an identifying string to
different property. This allows users to change individual values or entire groups of values

the ID is located. The values associated with these IDs can be either a concrete value such
as an actual color, font, or icon, or the value can be defined using a different property name,
allowing for properties to be defined by other properties. This allows users to change
individual values or entire groups of values with one edit.</P>
<H3>Theme</H3>
<P>A theme is simply the object that specifies all the values for colors, fonts, and icons
used in the application as well as the LookAndFeel. The idea is that there will be a set of
themes to choose from and by simply switching the theme, the LookAndFeel and all the colors,
fonts, and icons can be switched out at one time. The set of themes to choose from are a mix
of built-in themes and saved custom themes. There is one built-in theme for each supported
LookAndFeel, which will use the values from the LookAndFeel as well as all the default values
for the defined property ids. Users will be able to create custom themes where they can
basically change any defined color, font, or icon, including those supplied by the associated
LookAndFeel for that theme.</P>
used in the application, as well as the Look and Feel. This allows there to be a set of
themes to choose from and by simply switching the theme, the system will then update the Look
and Feel along with the colors, fonts, and icons, all with one action. The set of themes to
choose from is a mix of built-in themes and saved custom themes. There is one built-in theme
for each supported Look and Feel. The chosen theme will use the UI values defied by the Look
and Feel, as well as all the values for the defined property IDs. Users are able to
create custom themes to change any color, font, or icon defined by the application, along with
UI values supplied by the associated Look and Feel.</P>
<H3>Look and Feel Values</H3>
<P>The Java LookAndFeel is specified by the active theme. The Java LookAndFeel objects also
<P>The Java Look and Feel is specified by the active theme. These Look and Feel objects
define colors, fonts, and icons indirectly using identifying strings such as "Button.font"
and "Menu.background". These values determine the default values used by all GUI elements
unless overridden by developers in code when they create the components. Uses have the
ability to change these values in the same way as values defined by Ghidra code. This will
allow users to generate themes that completely change the look of the GUI with out the
developers having to explicitly set a color, font and icon on every component as they get
created in code.&nbsp; Another concept used by Java LookAndFeels is that many of the
individual components share the same colors and those shared colors are defined using a group
key such as "control", "text", or "menu". The idea is that by changing a group color, all
components that share that group color are changed together. Or an individual components
color can be changed by changing its specific key such as "Menu.background".</P>
and "Menu.background". The Look and Feel mappings determine the default values used by all
GUI elements
unless overridden by developers when they create the components. With theming, users have the
ability to change these Java Look and Feel defined values in the same way as theme properties
defined created by application code. Another concept used by Java Look and Feels is that of
shared UI patterns.
Look and Feels typically share many of the same colors and those shared colors are defined
by the Look and Feel using a group name/key such as "control", "text", or "menu". This allows
for changes to be made at the group level or for the individual property. The theme
framework captures this Java grouping information when creating a theme that for a given
Look and Feel.
