Hi,
I'm not sure how themers out there handle theme refreshing after a rtconfig.txt modification,
Maybe the Lokasenna script to manually refresh ?
Anyway, I was a bit slow down by having to switch focus from code editor to reaper and press a shortcut to see changes for theme moding,
So I made a script:
- X-Raym_Theme auto-refresher (background).lua
Just a simple save and it refresh REAPER theme, allowing me to see the modifications!
Shared for free in my reapack repo!
(Note: on the screenshot above, I use WindowStop software to be able to have my code editor always on top even if not focus. Code editor is sublime text with reasyntax for reaper theme file).
You just need to save the rtconfig.txt (uncompressed) and it will refresh the theme. No need to make actual changes to the file (for eg, if you have change one image, you can just save rtconfig.txt, and it will update the theme anyway).
Works on uncompressed theme only, obviously.
Hope it helps!
Thx to juliansader js_reascriptAPI free extension which bring the file last modification date support :P

side note: in case you missed it cause I posted it in the ReaScript subforum, I recently made another script which can help themers:
