Themes documentation

[Rob]

Having trouble loading different themes, so checking the online documentation here as well as looking at the main LeoSettings.leo and other theme files, I'm confused.

Quoting from the web site:

To enable a theme, put the following setting in myLeoSettings.leo:

@string theme-name <name of theme file>

First question is shouldn't that read: @string theme-name = <name of theme file>? (Missing `=`)

Then later:

Theme files should contain three settings that describe the theme:

@bool color_theme_is_dark # True for dark themes 

@string color_theme = name # Used to find icons 

@string theme_name # Used to find other graphics elements.

Second question, is which syntax is correct theme_name or theme-name (underscore or dash)? I see both used. Does it matter?

Third question is even trying both syntaxes, I can't get a different theme to load. I continue to get the 'expand_css_constants Unresolved @constants' errors from before and don't know if those are theme related.

Rob...

Ignore the third question as I had the setting in the wrong place.

Right.

@string theme_name # Used to find other graphics elements.

I think underscore vs dash does not matter.  When Leo imports the settings, both of them are removed (as I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere in the code).

Fixed in devel.

That's correct.
