The file `theme.cfg` gives the engine the values associated with a certain theme, to complement the graphics. To understand themes in general, start at [Themes]. To learn more about the general file structure of themes, see [ThemeFiles].

A `theme.cfg` is a text file which is structured with a list of keys, each separated by line breaks. Each key is followed by an equals sign followed a value. Values can be numbers, strings, or comma-separated lists of these.

Wuzzy

    27
Literally all lines in the `theme.cfg` file are optional, thus an empty file is valid. Everything has a default value. However, some default values are not really useful (e.g. the water or sky color) and you should therefore explicitly specify enough values.

An overlay is an extension of an object. It is an image that is drawn relative to the position of an object that was already placed. Overlays create land just like objects do, but unlike objects, they are drawn on top of the main landmass, instead of behind it. An object can have multiple overlays.

An anchor does not create land itself, but instead is a setting that alters the positioning of an object. Each object can have multiple anchors. An anchor is a rectangle that is similar to a `buriedrect`, but it can be outside of the object boundaries. Anchors are useful for objects that spawn on the water.

The `name` is the case-sensitive name of the PNG file (without the file name suffix) of the graphics file, and `number` is the rough number of instances of this spray that may be added to the map. The number is the average number of sprays that are normally placed on a random medium-sized island. For larger and smaller landscapes, this number will be automatically scaled up or down. Please note that this number only specifies a rough goal, the actual number of created sprays may vary and you may have to play a bit with this number in order to find a good value.

Name of the music file to be played in the theme while in Sudden Death, e.g. `hell.ogg`. If `music` was not specified, the Sudden Death has no default music as well. You find music tracks in `Data/Music` of the Hedgewars installation directory. The file name is case-sensitive!

Fallback music for the `music` setting. This setting should be added whenever you use a custom music which is not part of the official Hedgewars install. Otherwise you don't need to set this.

Like `fallback-music`, except it's for `sd-music`. If you have set a custom `sd-music`, you should also set `fallback-sd-music`, otherwise there will be silence if the track in `sd-music` is missing.
