I want to make my own switchbru custom theme but I'm not familiar with JSON files. It seems like a pretty complicated coding format :0

to create your own switchbru theme it is really is simple.

copy this code and paste it into a text editor :

{
	"name": "Basic White",
	"colors": {
		"main": "#ebebeb",
		"side": "#efefef",
		"text": "#393939",
		"border-focus": "#6dccea",
		"text-focus": "#0000ff",
		"focus-background": "#fdfdfd",
		"box-outline": "#000000",
		"header-border": "#808080",
		"button-outline": "#a9a9a9",
		"ok": "#304FFF",
		"ok-text": "#ffffff",
		"online-text": "#16BD15"
	},
	"images": {
		"tick": "light",
		"yt": "light",
		"friends": "light"
	}
}

edit the name and colours images andsave as .json and then upload it here : https://switchbru.com/account/theme/ . Once done you can add that theme in your switchbru settings.

The name can be anything.
the colours are hex values that can be gotten somewhere like this : https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/
the images can be either dark or light.

Just ensure you keep the syntax correct ie the commas and brackets etc..

any issues just give me a shout.
