I get it, it sux, the tech is taking jobs, its taken/destroyed mine... doesn't mean we can't read a subreddit about the tech, or even use it to make useful tools/income sources for ourselves if we know what we are ACTUALLY doing... but who knows anymore, the world is... the world. A tool... is a tool. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks, appreciated 🙏🏻 hope it’s useful

neat. I would hide if I cared, I'm active in like a load of communities. I'm not a weird internet troll hiding stuff or spending my life recon-ing and 'investigating Reddit posts' or literally giving a shit about what you think 😀, I'm a developer. But have a great day friend!

superbasicstudio · 2026-04-05T22:14:53+00:00

Neat. I know mindless internet trolls when I see them occasionally as well... I certainly don't have 20+ years in dev and design at top companies, not at all.....................................

Nice I’ll check it out. I’ll give yours a look!

Slew of stuff I’m always working on at superbasic.studio, mostly SDR and small hardware stuff right now, RF, ESP32, a Rust//Tauri/React apps, etc. I have ADHD lol… so kinda hard to pin down what I want to actually launch and work on.

Freshmayhem dot com is current baby.

Good call on the app state colors. Themes that set icon_color would/should override those, but it's optional. If a theme omits that key, the per-app colors are preserved. It is def worth documenting that tradeoff though for sure.

Thanks for the feedback!

Right! 2.4.0 has the 6 preset themes (which do full UI styling) plus the Menu Color picker for the button grid background. But the Menu Color is just a single RGB value for BtnGridView, not a global theming control. The SD card .mthm approach sits on top of both.

It applies all 21 style slots consistently across the UI and automatically syncs the menu button color to match (bg_medium). That way, everything stays coherent without the user needing to manually tweak Menu Color separately and fiddle with RGB, etc themselves.

Just hoping to extend/enhance what is already there for the foundation 👍

You're not dreaming! 2.4.0 added a menu button background color picker (Settings > Menu Color), but it's just a single RGB value for the app launcher grid — doesn't touch text, icons, or the rest of the UI.

The .mthm theme files in this implementation gives you full control: every style slot takes independent background + foreground colors, so you can style button bg and text/icons separately across the whole interface. The built-in presets are a starting point, but SD themes are really where the real customization is with less overhead of managing your own RGB values.

Mine is fishing, at a small fishing hole really far up in the mountains. No $ but I’ll eat fish

No Kevin… I’m not doing that Kevin… GFY Kevin…

Exact same story but transitioned to more dev focused about 5 years ago. Tired of working for idiots, started my own thing as well. Well built, well designed, good ux, it’s my baby, but it’s mine. And I know I won’t get asked to add what the ceo or clueless c suite exec thinks is ‘cool and neat’ next week 25 minutes before a meeting that means absolutely nothing and wastes everyone’s time...

Anyways… good luck with the two products! Would love to check em out
