Re: [tw] Tiddlyspot, automatic theme

It might be that you have a cookie that is overriding the theme you've set (I presume?) in MptwUserConfigPlugin. So try clearing your cookies.

Hello fellas

I made my TW, implemented all the features I wanted and I decided to
upload it on tiddlyspot.
I am using the MPTWtheme tiddly for enabling of certain features but I
use the Mptwstandardtheme (TW standard looks) and not the
Mptwroundtheme as layout/theme.

The problem now is that if I log on to my Tiddlyspot site, it
automatically uses the Mptwroundtheme, and I don't want that.
Even if I remove the roundtheme it uses it. How do I change the
default theme so that anyone who enters the site from their computer
uses the Standardtheme?

If I change to the standard one and save to web, my computer will
always use it but If I log on with someone elses computer they get the
roundtheme...

I can not link to my site due to the fact that it is private so you'll
have to help me from the outside.

If one uses a theme which works perfectly nice in Firefox - but which
would be completely messed up in IE and Opera - is there a way to
change the theme to a browser specific one at startup, be detecting
the browser of a visitor to such a online TiddlyWiki?

You could use write a simple plugin using browser sniffing* - TiddlyWiki
provides a config.browser object for this:
if(config.browser.isIE) {
config.options.txtTheme = "legacyBrowsersTheme";
} else {
config.options.txtTheme = "modernBrowsersTheme";
}

However, that's not necessarily 100% reliable.

Thanks for the fast reply. Also Opera displays gradients very ugly.
Therefore, could one write?:

if(config.browser.isIE) {
config.options.txtTheme = "IEBrowsersTheme";
}
if(config.browser.isOpera) {
config.options.txtTheme = "OperaBrowsersTheme";
} else {
config.options.txtTheme = "modernBrowsersTheme";
}

That looks about right.
