What is a theme?

A theme is the design of aseprite that you are using, they do not change the functionalities of the software, only the appearance.

Studio Theme / Default Theme

Make sure to download it as a .zip file.

Your theme looks really cool, congrats!!

GitHub is basically a website to host code and other files so multiple people can work on the same project at once.

This github "folder" has a bunch of cool themes: https://github.com/aseprite/themes

You (or me) can create a pull request, which is basically a request to add something to that folder, in this case, add you theme (or a link to download your theme) to that folder, then, the owner of the folder, in this case, aseprite, needs to accept that (also called a merge)

@horsse #saveCSGO
thanks brother I appreaciate your help. Unfortunately I'm not only unfamioliar with GitHub but also didnt understand your comment at all :P
But I will find couple hours this week to gather this around and double check all of it since I last time I shared pack of "skins" I accidentaly left out some unfinished edits.

If you are familiar with GitHub, you can try submiting a pull request to this repo: https://github.com/aseprite/themes

And then contacting the lead developer, dacap, to accept you pull request

If you don't use github, you can send me the link to the themes you made and I'll submit the pull request for you, crediting you, of course

There is a "configs" button on top of the layers names, if you click it it will let you select where the layers UI show up

here's a walkthrough: https://imgur.com/a/61m0iqE
