Theme textures

Themes are used to define how a tooltip looks. They're an essential building component and as such are required for everything else to work. It all starts with the themes texture, which looks like this:

Aseprite -software is recommended when working with textures

Tooltips consist of three parts; left, center and right. You can see all of them in the texture example above. The width of the texture is 6 pixels, which when divided by 3 (for all three parts) equates to 2 pixels per part. So the main rule when making custom themes, is to make their size divisible by three.

This is how the plugin will split the texture

For example, it is possible to make a wider and more detailed tooltip by setting the width to 12, so we have 4 pixels to work with:

With that much space, we can create more complex shapes for the borders. Here's an example:

Width: 12, height: 20
