§SolidWorks
§Install using Git
If you are a git user, you can install the theme and keep up to date by cloning the repo:
git clone https://github.com/dracula/solidworks.git
§Install manually
Download using the GitHub .zip download option and unzip them.
§Activating theme
To install this you will need a unix-like terminal with access to vim. I have
tested this on MSYS2. The scripts also assume the C:
drive is mounted at
/c/
, which is true for MSYS2.
Because override_background.sh
crudely edits DLLs, it could cause SolidWorks
to crash or become unstable. If you experience problems, replace the relevant
DLLs with the backups created in solidworks-filebackup
.
- Execute
override_background.sh
from a unix-like terminal - Load
dracula.sldreg
with the SolidWorks Copy Settings Wizard. Note that if you have already added custom themes, you will need to delete them first or modify the number of themes indracula.sldreg
- Activate the theme in SolidWorks by navigating to Tools->Options->Colors, and setting the options Background: Dark and Current color scheme: Dracula
- Boom! It's working
