AltC is a command line tool built in Rust that converts any Live >= 10 theme to be compatible with any other Live version >= 10. It does this by updating the schema of the XML files, as well as translating between RGBA values to hex color values.

Basic Usage

Web

You can visit https://amydev.me/altc-gui/ to access the web version of the converter.

CLI

|Info|Command| |-|-| |Usage: |altc.exe [Input Theme from Old Version] --to-version (Live Version)| |Example: |altc.exe live10theme.ask --to-version 11| |Example with Directories: |altc.exe ./themes/live10theme.ask --to-version 11|

Note: Please make sure that the filenames have '.ask' on the end.

MacOS Code Signing

As I do not have an Apple developer account, because it is 100 AUD, I cannot sign the MacOS binaries.

This means, that if you are using an M1 based MacOS device, you will not be able to run the altc.aarch64-apple-darwin application.

To get around this, you can either:

• use the altc.x86_64-apple-darwin download instead
• or disable SIP (scary!)
