Adding menu palettes

Learn how to add new color palettes to DSS.

Intro

Color palettes are basically different themes for DSS. The user can choose between a healthy variety of color palettes in the Dead Sea Scrolls menu settings, but developers can add their own color palettes very easily.

Adding a color palette

You can add color palettes using the AddPalettes function of the DeadSeaScrollsMenu global. AddPalettes takes a table of color palettes. Below is an example of how to define a color palette.

DeadSeaScrollsMenu.AddPalettes({
    {
        -- the name of your palette
        Name = "lavender",

        -- Below you will define the colors your palette will use
        -- They are defined as a list of 3 values of red, green, and blue
        -- Try using Google's RGB color picker to find some good colors

        -- What color is the paper?
        {128, 98, 189},

        -- What color is normal text?
        {20, 16, 43},

        -- What color is highlighted text?
        {28, 15, 24}
    }
})
