New update dock has different appearance than rest of obs. Any help appreciated.

[Emorrow]

As you can see in the image. My dock no longer has a matching background. I compared settings in qt designer and searched source code to find any answers and haven't. I've applied the stylesheet and palatte and nothing. Someone help please. I have two docks with my plugin and both have this problem now.

Rather annoyingly, OBS 30.2 has replaced the old "Themes" using .qss files with a new system of "Themes" and "Styles" using .obt and .ovt files.

I have just started looking into this, since my theme customizations of the audio mixer are gone.

(Installing 30.2 also turned off the OBS WebSocket server. Easily restored, but makes me nervous about what OTHER settings have been diddled.)

Obs theme files are now OVT files.... So im trying to fit new themes but those files are QQS files. So it doesnt work. Someone Please help

After looking into the Theme changes, I think the new scheme is an improvement - once you go through the pain of updating any customized QSS theme you may be using. OVT files work kind of like CSS files in HTML: you can extend and modify previously defined items, rather than needing to copy everything like with QSS files.

In my case, I had tweaked the old Dark.qss to change some items in the audio fader and meter. The new Yami style "Classic" is similar to the old Dark. My attached file (with .txt added to allow posting here) extends Yami Classic, defining only a few color changes and tweaks to the fader and meter. Like custom qss files, stash this file in your OBS AppData themes subdirectory.

To create this, I looked in Yami.obt and Yami_Classic.ovt for the items I need to change (most of which I knew from my old custom qss file) and pulled the items that needed to be changed or extended. To see the effect of changes, I open "Settings" and switch back and forth between "Classic" style and my new "JClassic" style.
