custom_theme not working

[Bishwaroopchaitali]

despite trying everything, reinstalling clipse, I can't use any other color scheme than the default one included

I installed this on fedora 42 via copr repo provided in README.md

these are my configs

config.json:
{
"allowDuplicates": false,
"historyFile": "clipboard_history.json",
"maxHistory": 100,
"logFile": "clipse.log",
"themeFile": "custom_theme.json",
"tempDir": "tmp_files"
}

custom_theme.json
{
"useCustom": true,
"TitleFore": "#003259",
"TitleBack": "#a1cafd",
"TitleInfo": "#d7bee4",
"NormalTitle": "#e1e2e8",
"DimmedTitle": "#c3c6cf",
"SelectedTitle": "#d7bee4",

"SelectedDesc": "#d7bee4",
"StatusMsg": "#bbc7db",
"PinIndicatorColor": "#d7bee4",
"SelectedBorder": "#d7bee4",
"SelectedDescBorder": "#d7bee4",
"FilteredMatch": "#e1e2e8",

"PageInactiveDot": "#c3c6cf",
"DividerDot": "#d7bee4",
"PreviewedText": "#e1e2e8",
"PreviewBorder": "#d7bee4"
}

Experiencing the same issue

I think it's because the Fedora package is very outdated. I checked the copr packge and it's on v1.0.9. Here's an example of a custom theme file for v1.0.9. The config.json shouldn't have to change, only the keys in your custom theme file need to change to match the older version.

Another solution is to download the binary from releases or build from source so you get the most up to date version because v1.0.9 is about 2 years old.

I'm on v1.1.0

Oh actually it looks like v1.1.0 is rather outdated the AUR package was renamed haha, that'll do it.
