Custom Printer Select Icons

When multiple printers are configured, you can customize their icons by placing an icon file in the following directory:

~/KlipperScreen/styles/printers/

• The icon file name must match the exact printer name as configured in KlipperScreen.conf.
• Supported formats for icons are SVG or PNG.

Example:

cp /path/to/printer_icon.svg ~/KlipperScreen/styles/printers/printer_name.svg
sudo service KlipperScreen restart

Custom Themes

To create a custom theme for KlipperScreen, follow these steps:

1. Create Theme Directory:

   • Navigate to ~/KlipperScreen/styles/.
   • Create a new folder with the desired theme name.

2. Add Icon Images:

   • Inside the theme folder, create a subfolder named images.
   • Place your SVG icon files here. Refer to the code or default theme for specific icon names used by KlipperScreen.

3. Customize Styles:

   • Create a CSS file named style.css within your theme folder.
   • Use existing themes or the default theme as a reference for CSS styles.

Example procedure for creating a theme named mytheme:

cd ~/KlipperScreen/styles/
# Create the directory
mkdir -p mytheme/images
# Copy required SVG icons
cp material-light/images/* mytheme/images/
# Create custom styles
echo "window { background-color: #FFFFFF; }" > style.css

1. Apply the Theme:
   • After creating your theme, restart the KlipperScreen service:

     sudo service KlipperScreen restart
     

   • Select you theme from the list in the options.

Example: Creating a Custom Theme

cd ~/KlipperScreen/styles/
mkdir -p mytheme/images
cd mytheme
cp ../default_theme/images/* images/
echo "window { background-color: #FFFFFF; }" > style.css
sudo service KlipperScreen restart
