Installing Themes

This is a slightly edited version of GayCookie’s tutorial for installing themes. This guide will be accurate for installing themes in a majority of cases but always refer to the instructions included if available.

- Download a theme.

Themes for Stand can generally be found in two places, on the discord in the themes channel, or on the guilded themes channel.

- Install additional software.

Some themes are packaged and use the extension .rar, or .zip
If this is the case and you don’t have one of them already, you’ll want to install either WinRar or 7Zip to extract the contents.

- Make a backup.

Mistakes can and do happen frequently, best practice is always to make a backup before changing things especially if you’ve already got a theme you like and are worried about losing it. If you’d like Stands default icons, font, etc, back after an install attempt simply delete what you currently have and reinject.

- Installation.

First take inventory of the files and folders that came with the theme.
Most themes consist of a .txt file (the Profile) and a couple of folders.
For the most part the folders are named after folders you already have inside your Stand folder.

So once you’ve made your backup you’re going to copy/overwrite the files from the theme.

Copy the .txt file (Profile) to the Stand Profiles folder.
If the theme has .lua scripts, you can copy those into your Lua Scripts folder.
Then copy the Theme folder into the Stand root folder and overwrite what it wants to overwrite.
If it has a header, you can copy this into your Headers/Custom Header folder.
The Custom Header folder must be emptied before trying to use a new header

If you have done all of the above, load the profile and your new theme should display.

- Loading the Profile.

Open Stand in-game and navigate to Stand > Profiles and select the profile you just copied over.
Then check Active so it will load on startup.
Then click Load and it will load the theme for you.
