How to use

 

  • If this is the first time you’re working with the theme tool, click on ‘Plate’ in the menu bar, and next on ‘API settings’.

  • Fill in your API key and click ‘Verify’. You can find your API credentials in your User settings in the Plate dashboard.

  • If the theme tool does not have a preset for your theme yet, you can add it by clicking on the three-dotted button next to the text field under ‘Theme path’.

  • Navigate to your Theme’s folder, and click ‘Open’.

  • The Theme tool will ask you to save the theme as a preset. If you click ‘Yes’, you can select the theme next time by selecting it from the ‘Presets’ dropdown.

  • To start the listener, click ‘Auto Update’.

  • You can now change your theme files on the fly.

  • If you want to stop the listener, toggle the ‘Auto Update’ button, or just close the application.
