Metropolis Themes (post your new themes here)

This SteamPunk theme is now my favorite. I do like it a lot

These themes are really lovely :-)

Good News - ppic has straightened out the issue with the Passion Repository and the themes, so anyone who has installed from there should be getting proper updates shortly.

@Amra - is there a link somewhere to get the Steam punk theme?

Cool & first post as usual.

Who on earth would look at the first post? lol. All themes have been added/updated and should appear in tonight's pull from the Passion Repo. I'm also requesting a pull from the official repo with all the fixes everyone has provided.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Why were the .xbt's removed from github? Just did a clean download and now the themes aren't working, have to manually grab them from the first post.

They mess up the pull requests to the official repo. Once it gets pulled in the next day or two I will put them back. Sorry about that.

You can also download them from here: https://github.com/stoli/Metropolis/downloads

You can technically put them back now if you wish, because they're going to pull from whatever commit you gave them, which won't include the files.

But, a better way to go about this would be to create a branch, probably named "1.1.0" (or whatever version it is), then delete the files and make a commit to that branch. Then request a pull from the new commit. This way people pulling from master won't have to deal with the files going missing.

It also leaves a convenient branch to check out past release versions whenever you want. Of course, you could also use tags instead and drop the branch once they actually pull it, but branches are cheap in git so there isn't really any harm in keeping them around.

Yeah, and that would also entail figuring out what the hell I am actually doing in git. I'll work on it.

Oh, basically, it's this. First checkout the commit from which you want to pull (if it's not the latest). Then:

% git checkout -b 1.1.0
% git rm media/*.xbt
% git commit -m "Removing XBT files for repo pull"
% git push origin 1.1.0:1.1.0

Then to get back to normal on your local clone:

% git checkout master

Post to the mailing list that you want a pull from the "Removing XBT files for repo pull" commit (the hash).

After it's pulled, you can either leave the branch there on github (which I'd recommend for reasons stated above) or you can delete it with:

% git push origin :1.1.0

And to delete your local copy of the branch:

% git branch -D 1.1.0

Obviously replace all instances of "1.1.0" with the appropriate version.
