# eboard-addtheme(1)

a program to easily install new eboard board and sound themes.

## NAME

eboard-addtheme - a program to easily install new eboard board and sound themes.

## SYNOPSIS

**eboard-addtheme** *P graphics-file description*

**eboard-addtheme** *S sound-file*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly documents the **eboard-addtheme** command.  This manual page was contributed by the developers of  the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

eboard-addtheme installs the given theme for eboard.  If it has sufficient permissions, it will install the theme in the system themes directory; otherwise, it will install it in *~/.eboard*.

eboard-addtheme's behavior depends on its first argument.  If this argument is *P*, a graphics file in the proper format should be provided as the second argument, and the third argument should be a description of the theme.  The graphics file will be installed as a new piece/board set.  If, on the other hand, this argument is *S*, a sound file should be provided as the second argument; it will be installed as a new sound theme.

eboard must be restarted after a new theme has been added to notice the addition. Graphics become available in the **Settings \| Bitmapped Piece Sets** submenus, sound files become available in the Sound Event configuration dialog boxes.
