was wondering if someone could help me, not a power user so please bear with me.

i have downloaded a font and saved it in a fonts folder in mydocs, when trying to import font from theme customiser, i open the folder and it is empty, what am i doing wrong?

Just tap the folder name one more time once you've navigated into that folder and the import process will start.

Example:
- tap top menu => import fonts
- tap "N900"
- tap folder called "fonts" (this is just an example)
- tap the folder name again to start import

That's how Qt folder chooser works. You want to choose folder, not single file. You can place multiple fonts into that folder and the importer will import all of them at once.

Hi d-iivil, first of all congratulations for your newborn.
Let me explain my reason for overwrite: suppose I want to create a new theme, based on Theme A, I make changes and save as MyTheme. Later if I change my mind and make it different, let's say based on Theme B, I change to Theme B first, make mods and now it's time to save as MyTheme, which is impossible as Theme Customizer say it exist.
If you change the "save as new" to just "save as" and ask "overwrite y/n?" if already exist, I think will be nice. Not a big issue but just my 2 c.

Your explanation makes sense, I'll add the overwrite option in next release :) I guess I need to make it so that it's only possible to overwrite themes that are created with theme customizer so users can't accidently (or on purpose) overwrite system themes etc...

Hi d-iivil, I had problem changing iconsets from one to another and I would get the stock icons instead of the custom ones. Uninstalling some of the custom themes (the ones not using theme-customizer) seemed to solve the problem, so my best guess that they aren't compatible. I'll give you a list of them if you're interested.

The save and reboot function didn't/doesn't? work for me either. Well up to the shutdown part it did... Didn't test them since though and can't remember if it worked before.

More of a feature request: What do you think about making the app more of a theme manager. I mean adding features like downloading themes and icon sets and maybe fonts via apt-get/wget, preview them before download. Possibility to change everything indipendently without having to mess about with the files...
It would be the best (in my opinion) if themes and such wouldn't even show up in the default app manager, although thats probably not up to you or me.

Nevertheless, thanks for the app, I think it already is a good-to-have, but I think it easily could be a must-have, just keep it up mate.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the icon teme post but ill try here.

Im trying to customise the HydroCarbon theme with theme Customiser to use the AwOken Icon theme, pretty sure im doing it right but when i save and reboot im getting the same icons back, anyone had similar issues with this or another icon theme set?

(using latest version of theme customiser via -dev repo, installed it and it instantly had an update wich i ran so im on 0.9-52)

Link to the icon theme im using: Aw0ken

Link to the theme im trying to customise: hydrocarbon-theme

Is it perhaps that the HydoCarbon theme type has compatability issues with customiser?

thanks for the work done on the customiser btw :D
