== Syntax ==
The file `theme.cfg` gives the engine the values associated with a certain theme, to complement the graphics. To understand themes in general, start at [Themes]. To learn more about the general file structure of themes, see [ThemeFiles].
It is structured with a list of keys, each separated by line breaks. Each key is followed by an equals sign followed a value. The value depends on the key.

Literally all lines in the `theme.cfg` file are optional, thus an empty file is valid. Everything has a default value. However, some default values are not really useful (e.g. the water or sky color) and you should therefore explicitly specify enough values.

+== Keys ==
+=== General configuration ===
+==== `hidden` (0.9.24) ====
If this key is present in `theme.cfg` (the value does not matter), the theme will be hidden from the theme selection menu. Background themes *must* be hidden.
-=== `ice` ===
+==== `ice` ====
If this key is present (any value), girders become slippery like ice. This also applies to placed girders. This significantly changes the gameplay of your theme, so use wisely. If this key is not present, the terrain is not slippery.
-=== `snow` ===
+==== `snow` ====
If this key is present (any value), the flakes which are normally purely decorational now behave like snowflakes. When they collide with terrain, they become a part of the landscape. This significantly changes the gameplay of your theme, so use wisely. If this key is not present, the flakes are purely decorational.
-== Land keys ==

The colour of the outline of explosions.

There may be multiple object keys in the file, each one representing one land object.

The large rectangle shows a `visiblerects` and the small one shows a `buriedrects`.
-=== `spray` ===
+==== `spray` ====
There may be several spray keys in the file, each one representing one spray object.
The `name` is the case-sensitive name of the PNG file (without the file name suffix) of the graphics file, and `number` is the rough number of instances of this spray that may be added to the map. The number is the average number of sprays that are normally placed on a random medium-sized island. For larger and smaller landscapes, this number will be automatically scaled up or down. Please note that this number only specifies a rough goal, the actual number of created sprays may vary and you may have to play a bit with this number in order to find a good value.

The water opacity before Sudden Death. Opacity of the water affects how visible gears in the water are. `0` makes it fully transparent, whereas `255` or `$FF` makes it fully opaque. If the water is fully opaque, the drowning animation is skipped when a hedgehog drowns.

-=== `sd-tint` ===
+==== `sd-tint` ====
Custom tinting of the background in Sudden Death. The background color will be multiplied by the RGB and opacity values. With `$FF, $FF, $FF, $FF`, there is no change, while with `$00, $00, $00, $FF`, the backgroun turns completely black. The opacity value controls how visible the background image will still be.
