|    Theme/prompt fallbacks and their variabl    |
|    04 Jul 21 12:49:12    |
      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 d5aede0f       TZUTC: 0200       Hello again, g00r00!              Just wanted to check with you how the theme/prompt fallbacks are to be       configured. I'm running the latest x86_64 prealpha ()              On my board, I have "scbbs_en" as the Default Theme for new users. The       intention is to inherit anything not explicitly overridden from the stock       theme (the theme directory named "default").              From this, and the comments present in theme.ini, I think I should set:               Def_Prompt = false        Def_Text = false        Def_Menu = false        Def_Script = false               Prompt = default        Text = default        Menu = default        Script = default              The false values for Def_* would be to avoid any circular dependencies, as       scbbs_en is the Default Theme and certainly annot load any missing prompts       from itself.              But there seems to be something going on when entering and then exiting from       the Theme/Prompt Editor.              A Def_* value of true displays as Fallback: Yes in the Theme/Prompt Editor,       but after exiting, the value gets emptied (and is then shown as Fallback:       No).              Choosing a theme e.g. for Inherit Prompts appears to set this for both       Def_Prompt and Prompt (after exiting the Theme/Prompt Editor).              The values of the Prompt, Text, Menu and Script variables (at least as       displayed by the Theme/Prompt Editor) seem to override any values of the       Def_Prompt, Def_Text, Def_Menu and Def_Script variables.              How do all these variables relate to each other, and how are they intended to       be used?              Many thanks in advance!              Best regards       Bj”rn       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/07/03 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 550 700 981 1016 1017 230/0       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 282/464       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 341/66 342/200 396/45 633/280 712/848 920/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 3634/24 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
