Hi I downloaded this through itch-io but the pack is empty
Could you try downloading it from the itch.io website not the app? Sorry, I know it's confusing because the itchio client app is better for the main program. If that's not working could you please clarify what you mean by empty?
Hi I got a workaround - downloaded it to my phone first then transfered to my computer. When I said empty I mean I got a folder with the pack name but no pck file was inside. I got it working tho thanks :D
hey!! i love stimuwrite, but i'm having an issue installing this pack? i've followed the install instructions, but when i do it, an error message reading "this theme may be corrupted or invalid and is unable to be installed". i've deleted and re-downloaded the files in case that was an issue. but it still won't work. any help is appreciated, i'm excited to use the sunset theme
How strange, can you please let me know what operating system you are using? Do you have the latest version of StimuWrite installed?
Yup, using the latest version of StimuWrite on Windows 11
I just released an update, could you please install it and let me know if it fixes the issue? I recommend using the itchio app to run and install StimuWrite, if you aren't already, because it keeps it up to date and solves some of permission issues that come with unsigned apps. Thank you!
Thank you! Just had to use the itch,io app, and delete and redownload Stimuwrite, then moved the pack to my general pc downloads instead of the stimuwrite folder
I’m glad you were able to get it working, sorry for the issues
Just got this pack - the liminal space background is perfect for writing my current horror story, thank you so much for making such amazing themes! :D
Wow, the clear crystal is everything I need. :D
I’m so glad to hear it 💜
Hello! I'm having trouble re-adding this theme back to the newest update (stimuwrite 2.2) after I deleted it using the Advanced Settings (I had wanted to change the order of the themes I had with this and the Scifi Control theme).
I have cleared, uninstalled, and reinstalled all aspects of the program and the packs. I keep getting "Error 342: The theme or addon already exists and cannot be overwritten." The Scifi Control pack reinstalls fine and only this pack does not work (I have no other packs). Anything else I should try doing?
Hello! I'm sorry you are having issues with the program. Please try this:
1. With StimuWrite closed, navigate to the StimuWrite user data folder in your computer
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\StimuWrite\macOS:~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/Linux:~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/2. Delete the file for the essential theme pack stimuwrite-essential-theme.pck it will be in the addons/themes/ folder
3. Start StimuWrite and try to install it again
Please let me know if this fixes the issue.
Yes, this completely fixed the issue! I did another advanced setting full wipe just to make sure. Thank you so much!
I'm trying to install and use this but it's not working, if anyone knows how to help it would be appreciated! My issue is it's saying "no manager for installer unknown"
Hi Morb! You have to install it through the StimuWrite app, it won't work automatically with the itchio app. Make sure the base StimuWrite app is already installed and then follow the instructions below:
To Install:
Download the theme pack into your file system (you may have to log into the itch.io website instead of the app to download)
In StimuWrite version 2 and above, click the "Options" link button at the bottom of the writing panel next to "About"
Select "Install Themes & Add-ons"
Click "Install Theme or Add-on" button and select the theme file in your file folder
That's it! Your new themes will appear in the Theme dropdown
To delete the theme pack after installation: If you are uninstalling StimuWrite and want to make sure the themes are removed from your computer, make sure to go to Options > Advanced Settings > Delete All. This will delete all StimuWrite content from your harddrive.
Please let you me know if you have any more issues, and thank you for getting the theme pack!
Do you know what it means when it says the themes or add ons may be corrupted or invalid? ^_^ thank you so much for your help!!!
Ah, sorry I just saw this. Which file/theme are you trying to load? That error message means that StimuWrite can't recognize it as a theme or addon and something is wrong with it.
Clear Crystal combined with the Night background is such a mood, I love it.
The "liminal space" + background conversations has been *so good* for my writing. I'm wondering if there's a way to import our own sounds; I think lo-fi would go *great* with some of these themes.
Hello! I don't know if you take requests, but I'm writing a cyberpunk story and even the “Vaporwave” theme, I still miss a mood. A theme with a city full of lights would be awesome!
Also some romantic theme, I love writing my characters in love hahaha
Thank you in advance!
These are all wonderful! Will be the next buy. :)
I’m glad you like them!
omg yay! Thank you for letting me know :)
