Theme Override

Your own colors for the FastTools windows and the type picker, without touching the package.

Quick start​

  1. Open Tools → Aspid 🐍 → FastTools → Settings and find Appearance. The same section is in Preferences → Aspid.FastTools.
  2. Click Create template… and choose where in the project to save the file. FastTools writes a .uss file there and assigns it as the Theme override.
  3. In the file, uncomment the tokens you want and change their values:
:root {
    --aspid-colors-bg-dark: rgb(22, 30, 52);
    --aspid-colors-surface-card: rgba(32, 44, 72, 0.6);
}

Assigning or clearing the Theme override recolors the open windows at once. To return to the default look, clear the field.

Where it applies​

  • the FastTools window: Welcome, Asset References, Project References and Settings;
  • the FastTools pages in Preferences and Project Settings;
  • the type picker.
note

Fields drawn in a regular Inspector start from the dark palette on both skins and take part of their colors from Unity's editor theme, so the tokens change only part of their look.

Tokens​

The sheet is layered on top of the built-in palette, so declare only the tokens you want to change. On Unity's light skin the FastTools window and its pages take Aspid-FastTools-Default-Light.uss first, and the override still comes after it.

TokensWhat they color
--aspid-colors-surface-canvasThe window background under the dots
--aspid-colors-surface-card, --aspid-colors-surface-card-dimCards, buttons and input fields; the dimmer card
--aspid-colors-bg-*Boxes, buttons, help boxes and the picker, in four steps: darkness, dark, light, lightness
--aspid-colors-text-*Text, from the most prominent lightness to the dimmest darkness
--aspid-colors-shade-*Borders and dividing lines, in the same four steps
--aspid-colors-control-borderBorders of input fields and the slider track on the settings pages
--aspid-colors-overlay-*, --aspid-colors-slider-handleHover and control fills, scrollbars and slider handles
--aspid-colors-status-success-*, -warning-*, -error-*, -info-*Status backgrounds, texts (-text-), borders (-shade-), tints (-tint) and the dots (-blob)
--aspid-colors-switch-accent, -track-border, -handle, -handle-shadowSwitches. They are not set by default, so switches follow the editor skin
--aspid-icons-*The Home and Settings icons and the status icons

Aspid-FastTools-Default-Dark.uss in Packages/tech.aspid.fasttools/Editor/Resources/UI/ lists every token that has a default value.

Sharing with the team​

The assignment is stored in the editor preferences of this machine, per project, so each team member assigns the sheet themselves. Reset to defaults → Per-user clears it. The .uss file is an ordinary project asset: commit it to share the colors.
