Project Specific Themes

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows
1

Hello,

I was wondering how do i keep a theme for only a certain project but not have it go into all new projects? I have a theme i am trying to use for a novel but it will not open up new projects without it. And when i try to change to a normal theme in a new project, i lose the curated theme for the other novel

Themes are meant for the Scrivener interface, not for a project. If you want a different theme for each project, you will have to switch themes from the Window menu.

Hopping on here as well. I’m like a bad rash once I get started.
I am thinking what you want to do here, is a combination of things… and I may also be so far off to lunch–if so, please steer me right 4everwander.

BClarke is right. Themes are global, so for the whole software to use.

In your shoes, I would to three things.

  1. save my project with all its settings as a template.
  2. save my setup (two or three panels, how the binder is stacked etc as a layout. You can have many layouts–and you can load these as you see fit.
  3. Those theme options I yakked about in the other post, save them.

You can then change your entire setup for each project you work with, without changing the theme itself.

Does that help?

Edit: Apparently I cannot count… changed “two” to “three”.

I tried that but when I load and change the settings of a project, when I close it (even if I don’t close it) and open another project it has the same theme. If I change the theme on the second project, immediately the first is changed automatically to the same theme. I wanted to have theme different for each project, depending on the mood of project, the genre and so on…

As noted in the earlier discussion, themes cannot be set for each specific project. The theme settings apply to the entire Scrivener interface and cannot be selected for different projects.
