Vertical Screen Layout

Friday, February 27th, 2009

vertical_layout.blendThis is the result of the step-by-step process of creating a vertical screen layout described in Chapter 2. Play around with it and see if this layout is something you like. If you think this layout works best for you, then you have two options. You can either create a new screen (using the SR datablock) for your vertical layout or you could just change your Model layout to look like this and save it as your user default (Ctrl+U).

Wheeeeee!

Themes?

Friday, February 27th, 2009

dark_theme.blendWant to see the theme that I use? It’s actually pretty easy to do this. I’ve included it on this .blend file as well as a separate python file called dark_theme.py.

I’ve gone ahead and made it easy for you to use this theme. The Python script for it is loaded into the Text Editor window of the .blend file. All you have to do is move your mouse cursor into that window and press Alt+P. When you do that, your theme should change to look like the one I work in on a day-to-day basis.

If you want to have this theme added to your permanent list of themes, the easiest thing to do would be to add the Dark_theme.py file to your scripts directory (defined in the File Paths section of the user preferences). Then it’s always available through the Scripts window in Scripts->Themes.

If you want more themes, you can do a web search, or check out the Blender Theme Repository.
