Colour themes

101Cats is built using the MahApps UI framework which supports Theming.

You can choose a theme to suit you by updating the Theme entry in config.xml. The configuration dialogue box does not currently support this, so you'll have to edit the configuration file manually using your favorite text editor. This must be done with some care - instructions are given here

Currently, only MahApps stock themes are supported. A future version may support theme customization. The stock themes are :

"Red", "Green", "Blue", "Purple", "Orange", "Lime", "Emerald", "Teal", "Cyan", "Cobalt", "Indigo", "Violet", "Pink", "Magenta", "Crimson", "Amber", "Yellow", "Brown", "Olive", "Steel", "Mauve", "Taupe", "Sienna"

and these base themes:

"Light", "Dark"

I use the following :

        <Theme>
            <BaseTheme>Dark.Cyan</BaseTheme>
        </Theme>
    

which I find quite readable.

At some point in the future, I'll get round to extending the configuration dialogue box to include theming.
