How to change the default Edge theme?

We've got plenty of themes to chosse from, one of which is now a custom 'KLM Flying Blue' theme. Say, what if we want to have for instance the default theme switched with the KLM one? What do we need to do? If been looking for an answer in the all.js but I couldn't find it. It's probably in some of the Edge CSS somewhere. And when the KLM has been made the default theme, will it still be visible in the theme list?

@Ange Tuteur, please shed a light on this question for us, thank you.

Here ya go @Samantha

Title: Default Theme Changer
Placement: All the pages

Code:

$(function() {
    var default_theme = 'Mine Shaft',
        visible_in_theme_list = true,

        option;

    (function changeDefaultTheme(theme) {
        if (!$('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]')[0]) {
            console.log('This is not a valid theme');
            return;
        }

        option = $('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]');

        $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
        visible_in_theme_list ? option.detach().insertAfter('#fa_theme_selector > option:eq(1)') : option.remove();

        if (my_getcookie('fa_theme_color') != default_theme) my_setcookie('fa_theme_color', theme);
    })(default_theme);
});

You can change

Code: default_theme

to your theme name (as long as it's already within the theme picker dropdown).

And if you want your theme to still be in the dropdown and show (as opposed to showing up as default theme), then don't change the

Code: visible_in_theme_list

value.

Hope this works for ya

Worked to near perfection, @Ace 1! TYVM! However, when another theme has been chosen and the site reloads in the browser it gives me the default theme again. The cookie with the user's choice either had not been dropped or it wouldn't read it and it falls back to the default theme (the one that had been forced to be default using the script). Same thing when browsing the forums...

Try replacing the script with this one:

Code:

$(function() {
    var default_theme = 'Mine Shaft',
        visible_in_theme_list = true,

        current_theme = my_getcookie('fa_theme_color'),
        option;

    (current_theme == 'Select a theme' || current_theme == default_theme) && (function changeDefaultTheme(theme) {
        if (!$('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]')[0]) {
            console.log('This is not a valid theme');
            return;
        }

        option = $('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]');

        $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
        visible_in_theme_list ? option.detach().insertAfter('#fa_theme_selector > option:eq(1)') : option.remove();

        my_setcookie('fa_theme_color', theme);
    })(default_theme);
});

Nope, that one falls back to the default color scheme, like on FMD ...

@Samantha This should work.

Code:

$(function() {
    var default_theme = 'Mine Shaft',
        visible_in_theme_list = true,

        current_theme = my_getcookie('fa_theme_color'),
        option;

    (current_theme == 'Select a theme' || current_theme == default_theme) && (function changeDefaultTheme(theme) {
        if (!$('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]')[0]) {
            console.log('This is not a valid theme');
            return;
        }

        option = $('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]');

        $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
        visible_in_theme_list ? option.detach().insertAfter('#fa_theme_selector > option:eq(1)') : option.css('display', 'none').parent().val('Default theme');

        my_setcookie('fa_theme_color', theme);

        !visible_in_theme_list && $('#fa_theme_selector').change(function() {
            if (this.value == 'Select a theme' || this.value == 'Default theme') {
                $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
                $('#fa_theme_selector').val(!visible_in_theme_list ? 'Default theme' : theme);
            }
        });
    })(default_theme);
});

Nope, not working again, Ken. I'm using this in All the Pages:

Code:

$(function() {
            var default_theme = 'KLM Flying Blue',
                visible_in_theme_list = true,
       
                current_theme = my_getcookie('fa_theme_color'),
                option;
       
            (current_theme == 'Select a theme' || current_theme == default_theme) && (function changeDefaultTheme(theme) {
                if (!$('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]')[0]) {
                    console.log('This is not a valid theme');
                    return;
                }
       
                option = $('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]');
       
                $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
                visible_in_theme_list ? option.detach().insertAfter('#fa_theme_selector > option:eq(1)') : option.css('display', 'none').parent().val('Default theme');
       
                my_setcookie('fa_theme_color', theme);
       
                !visible_in_theme_list && $('#fa_theme_selector').change(function() {
                    if (this.value == 'Select a theme' || this.value == 'Default theme') {
                        $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
                        $('#fa_theme_selector').val(!visible_in_theme_list ? 'Default theme' : theme);
                    }
                });
            })(default_theme);
        });

You can see the result for yourself on the test site. Could it be the language? Perhaps you should add some language vars ...

EDIT: I've taken the script offline again as started to annoy me lol

lul it was the language haha

Code:

$(function() {
  var default_theme = 'Mine Shaft',
    default_text = ['Select a theme', 'Default theme'],
    show_name = true,

    current_theme = my_getcookie('fa_theme_color'),
    option;

  (function changeDefaultTheme(theme) {
    if (!$('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]')[0]) {
      console.error(theme + ': This is not a valid theme.');
      return;
    }

    if ($('#fa_theme_selector').val() == default_text[0]) {
      $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).trigger('change');
      my_setcookie('fa_theme_color', theme);
    }

    option = $('#fa_theme_selector > option[value="' + theme + '"]');
    option.detach().text(show_name ? theme : default_text[1]).insertBefore('#fa_theme_selector > option:eq(0)').next().remove();

    $('#fa_theme_selector').change(function() {
      this.firstChild.textContent = show_name ? theme : default_text[1];
      if ($(this).find('option:selected').index() == 0) $('#fa_theme_selector').val(theme).val(default_text[1]);
    });
  })(default_theme);
});

Now with this code I set up some variables.

Code:

  var default_theme = 'Mine Shaft',
    default_text = ['Select a theme', 'Default theme'],
    show_name = true,

default_theme - You know what this is.
default_text - This takes two values, the first being what you normally see and the second being what the first option of the theme picker is when you don't have the default one enabled.
show_name - When this is true, the forum will show the original name of the theme. Otherwise, it will appear as "Default theme".

Let me know how this works out.

Yeah, now it's working alright! AND I noticed some EDGE language language update errors for the themes in ALL.JS, so I had to fix them first. It said 'Kies een thema ... ...' instead of 'Kies een thema ...' in several locations in that JS.

BIG THANKS to you, @Ace 1!

Glad to help lol
