## How to create my own custom theme
1. Create a folder inside the *theme* directory of the addon: **_Windower4\addons\xivbar\themes\MY_CUSTOM_THEME_**
2. Create the necessary images. A theme is composed of 5 images: a background for the bars (*bar_bg.png*), a background for the compact mode (*bar_compact.png*), and one image for each bar (*hp_fg.png, mp_fg.png and tp_fg.png*). You can take a look at the default themes.
3. Edit the name of the theme in the settings to yours. This setting must match the name of the folder you just created.
4. Adjust the bar width, spacing and offset for your custom theme in the settings.
