Hi, @avalon60, you can make a wiki page for the documentation. It will be easier to find and edit them.

Hi @Akascape. I'm pretty new to this. I put an entry into the Wiki section and it appeared as a link. This link takes you to the docs. Is there a better way of doing this?

[Akascape]

@avalon60
Yes, there should be a separate link for the docs, you just need to share the Home page link where there will be different content links. And each content can be a new page on the same wiki.

Pretty epic idea to be honest.

Hi, wonder if you can help.
really been struggling with this install.
I believe everything is set but when I try and launch I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\n1589h\PycharmProjects\Lab\ctk_theme_builder\ctk_theme_builder.py", line 14, in
from lib.control_panel import ControlPanel
File "C:\Users\n1589h\PycharmProjects\Lab\ctk_theme_builder\lib\control_panel.py", line 3, in
import customtkinter as ctk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'customtkinter'

I know customtkinter is installed as I can run scripts with it fine.

Hi @stevenhunt77, did you get this sorted? If not, how are you trying to launch the app?

[stevenhunt77]

I did in the end. Had to create a whole new venv for some reason. But main thing is I got it running haha

Getting error
TIMEOUT: Waited too long for preview listener!

Ensure that only one instance of CTK Them Builder running on Port 5051, and that no other process using port.

Please help

Hello @sandipsable506. You can ignore the "Please upgrade..." that's an erroneous title.

Please see below:

1. What version of CTK Theme Builder are you using (Tools > About)?
2. What O/S are you running it on?
3. What did you do to get that message to appear?

Thanks.

[sandipsable506]

I am using CTk Theme Builder 2.4 version, o/s windows 10, python version 3.11.0
First I was problem on running bat file, when i ran it nothing happen.
So i tried running directly ctk_theme_builder.py file in spyder, Than I was getting ui and when I change them getting multiple same window not getting preview andgetting above error.

[avalon60]

I wonder if this is a Windows10 issue. I re-tested Windows11 yesterday without a hitch.

You can't run the ctk_theme_builder.py file without setting the virtual environment, which is what the .bat file does for you.
When you ran the .bat file, was it from a command window? If so were there any messages printed?

I would also be interested to see what the command and output looks like, when you ran theme_builder_setup.py.

Thanks,

Clive

When I try to run ...\apps\ctk_theme_builder> .\ctk_theme_builder
VS Code auto opens the .py file, rather than the .bat file launching the theme builder program

running Python 3.11.8 and VS Code 1.87
Windows 11
ctk_theme_builder-3.0.1

[avalon60]

I suspect you have a Windows file association thing going on. Can you try adding .bat to the end of the command. Ie .\ctk_theme_builder.bat

[MawiRecon]

turns out the simplest solution is correct. Yeah that was the case.
I uninstalled VS and the program opened just fine.
Redownloaded VS code and unchecked the option to auto open relevant files in VS code.

Thanks for the response.

[avalon60]

Hi @MawiRecon. FYI, I had another person with a similar issue. The file association issue, in respect of VSCode, will be fixed in the upcoming version (possibly released this weekend).

Version 3.1 will have a few improvements:

1. Themes can now be Imported / Exported via the File menu;
2. The preferences screen has been somewhat redesigned (tidier look);
3. Further Improvements to the installation routines;
4. Clear (runtime) Log function has been added to the Preferences dialogue;
5. A display of the log file size is added to the Preferences dialogue;
6. A new theme "Cobalt" has been added.
