Aseprite - RetroDragon Dark Theme
A downloadable theme
This Aseprite Theme is my Version of a Dark Theme. I tried my best to balance the size of UI elements, somewhere in the middle of the HD Themes, and the Default Theme. I took similar layout & UI inspiration from Photoshop to make elements more recognizable.

This theme may undergo tweaks. If you notice anything strange, or out of place, let me know so I can consider the change.
TWO FONT STYLES:
I put in the option for two different fonts. The original default font for Aseprite is nice, but too small for the UI to be at 100% Scale. I doubled the size, but this will require you to add the font into your aseprite font folder. I have attached instructions on how to do this in the Zip Folder.
Alagard is the second font option. If you like this font (like I do) – It’s as easy as installing the font prior to installing the theme. I have supplied this font, but you can also download it at dafont.
Alagard is a Free Font designed by Hewett Tsoi.

Hi! the instructions for installing the alagard font onto aeseprite were a bit confusing. i have the .ttf file, and i installed it onto my computer, but im not sure why its not working when i go into aesprite and apply the theme. any guidance on this would be helpful. cool theme!
Hi Basil, if you are trying to use the Alagard font, as long as you installed the font before loading the template, it should automatically work. So if you did it out of order, you will have to remove the template and reload it. My supplied instructions are for the other large font supplied. Let me know if you have any further issues!
Hello! I just want to note that I had the same issue as Leo and used the same solution successfully. And your theme is great! I installed Aseprite around a month ago and finding your theme was about the first thing I did (albeit I usually spend 4 hours in the settings whenever I install something new).
I really appreciate the feedback! I had mentioned to MortMort below that I would like to make it easier and fix some minor things with the theme- but I am glad you got it working and enjoying it :)
I see some unique art but also major errors I did in my theme, does this happen to be a off branch of Dark Mort HD by any chance? :D
Hi MortMort, yes, your Dark Theme was the foundation for mine. I've been wanting to revisit this theme and fix some things I've noticed for a bit, padding between some icons and better color contrast in other areas. Always happy to discuss more :) - I'm on your Discord Channel as RetroDragon.
Could I ask something?
I'm a person who used this theme well. But I have some problem.
Could you command about this Issue?
Hi Leo, I'm sorry that you're having trouble with Aseprite themes. Give me the weekend to see if I can find any solutions for you, and I'll get back to you. I'll do my best to help.
