Create a Blender Theme Better than Adobe Premiere Pro…Fast!

The Best Blender Theme Add-on is now available…that is…if you don’t wanna spend hours fine tuning hundreds of settings, to get a subpar Blender Theme. Now it takes just five minutes to get a Blender Theme on par with the quality of a theme that you would find in Adobe’s CC line of software.
So now you can say goodbye to the dull grey interface, on the most intelligent software in the world,…Blender(🙂)
I’m introducing the New FAST Theme Panel, in SUPER SOLID MODE! It sets many multiple similar Blender Theme settings simultaneously….Simultaneously….you can set all:
Editor Outline, Execution Region Background, Grid, Header, Inner, Inner Selected, Item, Line Numbers, Line Numbers Background, Navigation Bar Background, Outline, Panel Header, Panel Background, Region Background, Scrubbing Markers Region, and Tab Active, Tab Inactive, Tab Background, Tab Outline, Text, Tab Text Selected, Title, Viewport, Viewport Grid AND Windows Background….settings
All the settings necessary to make the Blender interface really pop…The FAST Theme Panel also allows changing of all Shade Top and Shade Down and Roundness settings at the same time. These are the settings that give Blenders Interface and Buttons that 3D look and shine.
CAVEAT: The FAST Theme Panel doesn’t give options to change the other colors like in the
“3D Viewport” section of Blenders Theme Preferences [Vertex, Edge and Face, for instance] and Collection colors for three reasons.One: those are easy to change in their respective categories in Blenders Theme Preferences because they are just in one section of Blender’s theme properties and are not repeated anywhere.
Two: This is designed change the parameters that are duplicated in multiple sections of the “User Interface” part of Blender’s Theme Preferences all the colors necessary to make Blenders User Interface really shine.
Three: The FAST Theme Panel would get too big and complex and this wouldn’t really be a fast process anymore.
Note: If this is not enjoyable…somehow let me know in the comments why, and I’ll figure out something…I am really good at that:)
Here is a video for you that will explain more:

I appreciate the work you have put into this. The Addon itself seems pretty usable and well-thought.
But one thing I must admit: the colors you chose for your demo video are totally ‘IN YOUR FACE’. It really hurts my eyes :-)
Very often, we ourselves use colors in our art and we don’t want to risk an aesthetic misjudgement because of rivaling colors in the artwork and the user interface. Therefore, modern software uses decent/subtle colors intentionally, so the user won’t get distracted or confused. Imho, your Demo should reflect that.
I noticed the dull Gray colors of Blenders interface do make it feel a little sad sometimes when creating so that’s why I created this default theme…. it really is way better now, the default theme….. it’s like a glassy periwinkle color… But The thing is this add-on creates any theme you want I’m not sure if that was understood …so you could create the theme however you want super fast it’s really awesome… It takes like 30 seconds to make an awesome theme out of the Blender dark that’s still dark
Yeah that’s something that I’ve been dealing with is this blue theme that I created is just a pleasure to work in …it looks so nice and is cheerful but when it comes to recording videos it doesn’t translate to the video recording so well
I’ve been testing doing 4K recording to see if I can make it better but for making gifs for my blender market page I resorted to making my own dark theme which once I get it looking really nice I’ll add that to the add on as an option because I noticed the dark theme really photographs well
EDIT TO POST: I just made an update to the FAST Theme….Now the ShadeTop and ShadeDown settings are split into two different sliders…as before controlling all at once made some of the buttons look a little wrong.
This didn’t affect the speed at which FAST Themes can be produced.
OK I’ve made a whole new panel for the shade top and shade down settings it’s really way more awesome Since the video was made…
you could create way better themes with this now as far as those settings and everything else..
And I do apologize the theme doesn’t look that great because I recorded the tutorial with OBS
at 1080P
I now hook into my 4K monitor and record my tutorials on that so now the colors will look better
in actuality the experience of using the theme that I created and show in the video was way better than it appears on HD
and again…I did rebrand to a new name that’s more apt…
FAST ANIMATION STUDIO & TOOL-KIT or F.A.S.T.
Working on an awesome instant animated character import system that’s gonna blow your mind imports characters from DAZ STUDIO
Sorry,
But it looks like a webpage from the 90s.
Sorry I guess I don’t get messages when people comment on these posts… but just to note you could change the theme however you want… It’s really easy… and also to note I did rebrand to a new name that’s more apt…
FAST ANIMATION STUDIO & TOOL-KIT or F.A.S.T.
if you check it out ….sorry the Blender Market & Gum Road pages are a little bare bones for now..
I’m in the process of updating that… As we speak…
I think the add-on is very good for people involved in real time work… where you have to edit in a place with super strange lighting… at night, during video projection etc…
Congratulations
