Dive into the Shadows: Installing the DarkMingo Theme for Cockatrice

Tired of the standard Cockatrice interface or you live in dark mode on everything you ever use? Yearning for a sleek, shadowy landscape where your opponents tremble under the cloak of darkness? Then step into the DarkMigo theme! This beloved community creation transforms Cockatrice into a stylish haven for dark mode enthusiasts, and installing it is surprisingly simple. Prepare to shed the light and embrace the shadows, Planeswalker!

Before You Begin:

  • Download the Theme: Head over to DarkMingo’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/mingomongo/DarkMingo-Theme-for-Cockatrice. There, you’ll find the download link for the latest version.
  • Unzip the Folder: Once downloaded, unzip the file to reveal a folder containing several subfolders. We’ll be using one of these later.

Installing the Theme:

  1. Locate the Themes Folder: Cockatrice stores its themes in specific locations depending on your operating system:
  1. Windows: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Cockatrice\Cockatrice\themes
  2. Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/themes
  3. Linux: ~/.local/share/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/themes
  4. If the “themes” folder doesn’t exist, simply create it!
  5. Drag and Drop: From the unzipped folder, locate the subfolder named “DarkMingo-Theme.” Simply drag and drop this entire folder into the “themes” directory you identified in step 1.
  6. Launch Cockatrice: Restart Cockatrice, and voila! The DarkMigo theme should be automatically applied.

Troubleshooting:

  • Mac Users: Some Mac users encounter three vertical lines overlapping the deck editor after installing DarkMingo. This is a known issue and unfortunately not fixable. Rest assured, it doesn’t affect gameplay!
  • Alignment Issues: Across all platforms, you might find slight alignment quirks with lists and their headers. Again, this is due to limitations within Cockatrice’s code and not something DarkMingo can adjust.

Embracing the Darkness:

With DarkMigo, your Cockatrice experience takes on a new life. Enjoy the sleek black interface, appreciate the subtle card art enhancements, and revel in the atmosphere that screams “Magic under a moonless sky.” This theme is a labor of love from the community, and it breathes new life into the platform.

Beyond the Shadows:

Remember, DarkMigo is just one of many themes available for Cockatrice. Explore the community creations, experiment with different styles, and personalize your digital battleground. After all, the choice is yours, Planeswalker – embrace the light, the shadows, or anything in between. May your battles be epic, your strategies cunning, and your Cockatrice experience always magical!

Tips:

  • Check out the DarkMingo GitHub repository for updates and information on additional theme options.
  • Share your experience with the Cockatrice community and spread the word about this fantastic theme!

Now, go forth, Planeswalker, and cast your spells under the veil of DarkMingo! The night awaits.
