So glad to hear it's been helpful! If you go to Options > Display Customizations and turn off "Expand Background to Window" it should behave like you want it to. Happy writing!

Hi doxiedreg! Sorry that sounds really frustrating. Do you mean you aren't able to get the theme pack to install? Or the program won't work at all? Can you describe what happens when it doesn't work (what you mean by "doesn't work") and what steps you are taking? Hopefully we can solve this together.
If you haven't be keeping up with StimuWrite, it's been updated with a ton of new features, and there are also 22 themes available to enhance your writing environment, including the 100% free/pay-what-you-like Pride Theme Pack, and three addons including Sticky Notes and Tomato Timer!

Hi there! So the language addon is actually just a font that includes characters for the language, and in then in the case of a Chinese or Japanese font it changes from word count to character count. I'm honestly not sure how I would make a tutorial on how to make a new language addon because it would really depend on the language. In the future I am hoping to localize the software and get rid of the language addons (since they won't be needed), but since it's just me I'm not sure when I'll be able to complete that. I will try to make a general addon tutorial soon though!
Hi there, sorry for the late response! Currently you can write in markdown and export a txt file and then change the file extension to .md or .markdown to create a markdown file. You can also go into Options > Advanced Settings and turn on "Export as HTML using markdown syntax" and basic markdown syntax will work and be exported as html. This will make it easier to open the html file in your browser and copy and paste it into your main editor with the formatting included. I hope that helps
Aggh I'm sorry you are having that issue, and thank you for making me aware of it. You should be able to save your work in these instances by pressing ctrl + S. Do you have the most up-to-date version of both the add-ons and app? Please email me stimuwrite@eveharms.com to get further support on this issue.
Hi! Not annoying at all. I did put up an example add-on on GitHub, but I haven’t made any documentation yet so it’s probably not that helpful. https://github.com/beastly-eve/stimuwrite-example-addon
If you give me an idea of what sort of add-on you are interested in developing, it might help me put together docs. I probably won’t release the full source code, but the docs would include information about node names etc that would make it possible to hook into the app further.
That's a really cool idea! However, I don't think I'd be comfortable making a theme for public use that's based on someone else's work. However, I recently made a video tutorial on how to make your own themes so feel free to make one for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsyHcmEndd1Ue4EjqwfSnMMOhduuxIZvQ
Hi Marley, I've been meaning to make a custom themes video tutorial for awhile, and your comment pushed me to put it together some tutorial videos this weekend. There will probably be one more video added to this series, but hopefully this is enough to help you make your own theme.

Currently there's no way to add custom typing sound effects and soundscapes, but I will consider it for future versions.
If you go into Options > Advanced Settings there is an option to turn on "Export as html using markdown syntax" which gives you the ability to include bold, italics, underline, and strike through in your exported file when using markdown syntax. Click the question mark by the toggle for more detailed info and instructions. I don't intend to add any additional formatting options, sorry about that. I may add visual customization for line spacing in the future, but it won't affect the output of the document.
I'm sorry for the trouble. In order for those themes to appear with the panel background image lined up with your monitor, Display Customizations > Expand Background to Window actually has to be turned off. The themes were designed before the option to expand the background existed, so when it's on it causes them to not look ideal visually. This is something I need to remedy in a future update of the program and the affected themes, especially since this option is on by default, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
Sorry about the error! I’m not sure exactly what happened, but give this a try.
1. Navigate to the StimuWrite user data folder in your computer ( you may have to unhide hidden files and folders)
Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\StimuWrite\
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/
Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/
2. Delete the addons folder
3. Delete stimuwrite.cfg
4. Restart the program
You shouldn’t need to reinstall any themes or addons when updating the program in the future. Let me know if you have any more issues.
