Krita SK Pale Theme Pack V1.00
Download: Proton Drive


IMPORTANT NOTE: These are color-scheme themes, in your Krita only colors will change using these themes. The screenshots were made with workspace/toolbars/dockers settings greatly modified in my Krita (some of them have been modified to better show how the theme colors will look with different elements).

Thank you so much! :slight_smile:

Can’t deny I was wandering if anyone liked them as I do, and these are my preferred too, the gold one for the nearly ancient feel and the grey one for the humble presence, which leaves all the color and the scene to what is emerging.

These days I like very much also the Tennis grey cyan version, in the Tennis pack, with his little energizing and almost joyful touch to me :slight_smile:

Im having a hard time applying the themes, can someone give me a tutorial please?

Simply this way:

Hi @ekn!

In my pack Krita themes are inside the zip file you downloaded, in “themes” folder :slight_smile:

Hi! I really liked the themes, but I’m crazy about the design of your workspace. Could you show the process of how you customized it, or share the download of the modifications?

Hi @Low_poly_Ghost and Welcome! :slight_smile:

Thank you very much!

About the workplace customization:

Yes :slight_smile: - now I’m quite busy, but when I’ll find the time I’ll prepare a topic with my “crowded” workspace(s) and toolbars customization(s) files to download and some explanations (I think not the complete customization process cause it would be too long).

Now my setup is changed, so I’ll have to recreate the toolbars like in the screenshots, but maybe I’ll share also the current setup.

When I made the theme packs my intention was to share also workspace and toolbars (that’s why they are in the screenshots), but a number of doubts arose:

  • it’s going to be long to write/prepare/share and complicated for other users (risk of damage of others setup)
  • in these times of minimalism maybe others are not interested (while I like to have a lot of settings just a click away)
  • if someone likes the setup they will ask me… and here we are :smiley:

What to do if i cant select the themes after restarting :sob: (im on a tablet)

:slight_smile: Hello @Lolsuo, and welcome to the forum!

Tablet, fine, and what is your operating system? Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, ChromeOS?

If you use Android, especially a recent version, you may have a huge problem, something that is unbelievable.
The problem with newer versions of this insane illness called Android may be to reach the folder where Krita stores its resources, because users reported recently, that they were unable to access this folder where Krita manages its resources.
The error description Android dropped for those users is:

“That user installed apps are no longer allowed to access this path”

However, this is a contradiction in terms, because if it were true, Krita would never have been able to create its resources in that folder, AND you couldn’t use the Brush Presets, Patterns, Gradients, etc., in that folder, but you can!? And if Krita specifies in “Settings” >> “Configure Krita” >> “General” in the “Resources” tab that it stores and organizes its resources there, then there must either be some magic at work, or apps installed by the user must have access to the directory after all.


So, and now how to usually install color schemes on every system:

First, you must find and enter Krita’s resource folder:

You can find and open Krita’s resource folder via the menu ‘‘Settings’’ → ‘‘Manage Resources…’’ where you have to click on the button Open Resource Folder, which will take you directly into Krita’s resource folder.

Or, alternatively, you browse with your file manager to the folder shown to you by Krita in the tab Resources that you will find in Krita via the menu ‘‘Settings’’ → ‘‘Configure Krita’’ → ‘‘General’’, the tab Resources is the tab at the right end. In that tab, Krita shows a path to which you must browse with your file manager, so you can remember, copy or write down this path to which you now have to browse. Using Windows Explorer, you can paste the copied path into its address bar and hit Enter, using macOS and Linux, this should work with some file managers too. Using Android, you must use its Files app and browse to that folder, clicking your way through the folders until you reach it.

So, and now that you are in Krita’s resource folder, you must open the sub-folder named color-schemes and copy the color schemes you have downloaded into that folder and restart Krita two times. Usually, you will now be able to select them via the menu ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Themes’’.

BUT, you must first unpack them from the downloaded archive Krita SK Pale Theme Pack V1.00.zip!

I don’t know if the Android files app can open ZIP-Archives (try to double-click the archive), if not you need an archiving software that can unzip archives first.

Windows Explorer and most other file managers can open ZIP-Archives, and you find the seven color schemes in the archives sub-folder themes (in full → Krita SK Pale Theme Pack V1.00.zip\Krita SK Pale Theme Pack V1.00\themes\).
So, in the archives sub-folder themes you have to select and then grab the seven files and drag them from there into the folder color-schemes. Restart Krita twice, select the theme you like, be happy!

Edit: Oops, I made a slip, wrote colors instead of color-schemes corrected it now, please excuse this.

For me, it strongly reminds me of vintage motif apps. Ready to party like it’s 1999. That caught my attention instantly. I could even take things a step further by using FVWM3, that’s if I wanted to.
