[THEMES] Ventoy visual customization
#1
As noted by Ventoy's developer, theming info should be posted here at "Ventoy Plugin Forum".

To make finding them easier, I decided to kick-start this thread devoted to theming Ventoy.

For preliminary info, check the Theme Plugin help at https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_theme.html.

Feel free to roll in your own; to make it easier for everyone, please follow some simple guidelines when posting:

  1. Write the theme's name or some unique identifier in the "Post subject";
  2. An image is worth a thousand words, so post a screenshot if you can;
  3. Post a clean clearly readable link to any related site/downloads, please.

Although there's no lack of related resources and info on the net, here's a rather complete video about creating a Ventoy USB just to help out any beginners -- theming info starts at 3:28". 

Next, I'll be posting my current theme.

Unfortunately, I had a catastrophic Windows laptop crash after I posted this that rendered me unable to post the info/files I had gathered.

While I work at fixing it, here's a couple of local pointers.

Midas, thank you for your tutorial and sharing of your customized skin.
The only thing that I cannot figure out is how to enable memdisk hint that shows that memedisk has been selected.
On the default ventoy theme, the hint is displayed above the memdisk hotkey.

Maybe developer can answer this question. 
Simply adding + hbox into the theme.txt, doesn't make memdisk hint show up.

You need to add the following hbox in theme.txt as ventoy default theme.

Code:
+ hbox{
    left = 30%
    top = 95%-25
    width = 10%
    height = 25
    + label {text = "@VTOY_MEM_DISK@" color = "red" align = "left"}
}

How do you customize themes live?

I can't restart every time I want to change any detail, right?

I personally use RmprepUSB for testing.
It launches ventoy in a window (like a virtual machine).
So there's no need to juggle with rebooting between the OS and ventoy, just relaunch ventoy from RmprepUSB to check the changes.
