What is a Theme?
In Flywrench, different Themes are located under Settings > Audio | Video > Themes, accessible from the main menu. If you didn't figure this out yourself, I strongly recommend looking through the menus of games you play in the future, you can find some interesting stuff.

The only things the themes do are change the colors. That's it. I think it's a really nice addition which takes great advantage of the game's simple presentation.
Where Do We Begin?
"Where IS everything," you might ask. Well, nowhere, unless you know how to activate the dev tool for it, contained within Flywrench. I couldn't find documentation anywhere except Messhof's Twitter account, in the post on the right.





Simple, right?
What do all those controls do?
From Messhof:
"Actually you can use the dev tool that we left in the game! To enable it, press ctrl+f1

tab to change the selected object material
1,2,3 to increase the hue, saturation, and value
or
4,5,6 to increase the red, green, blue

q,w,e lowers hsv
r,t,y lowers rgb

hold shift to change the values faster

ctrl+s to save out the theme. It will then appear on your theme chooser. If you want to rename it, you have to locate that color file and rename the file in windows/mac."

These files are located within C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Flywrench\themes on Windows. Sorry Mac.

And that's it! Enjoy :B1:

I found the location of custom themes, for me at least.

C:\ user \AppData\Local\FlywrenchStudio\themes

the custom themes are not located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Flywrench\themes. only the default ones. Ive tried to locate them but its like theyre not in the game files at all. Im guessing theyre with the custom planets which i can also not find. Need help.

Whoah! Hello! I just want to say I played freeware Flywrench years ago and was super excited to see this one pop up yesterday!
And the important part: I'll take your information, search for documentation somewhere, and attribute it to you and wherever I find it (if I do). Thank you for simplifying my job.
