Hivecom TeamSpeak Theme

This is a fork of my personal TeamSpeak theme with style conventions following the Hivecom website and previous TeamSpeak theme of the same name. As such, this theme's core styling is specific but still on its own stands as a subtle dark theme with a modern touch and clean icons.


Quick summary of the main interface features:

  • Dark theme with clear color definitions and a bit of texture
  • Consistent design across all application interfaces
  • Contrasted icons with visible highlights and easy grepping
  • More spacious and breathable design for most elements and containers
  • Core server group and channel icon remakes

This theme's primary intention is bringing a bit of new life to the somewhat dated TeamSpeak core interface, while still retaining the structure that is familiar to most of us.

Installation

TeamSpeak Application

This is the toughest one. Just press install.

TeamSpeak Website

Simply hit the download button to download the style. From there, open the TeamSpeak style add-on with the application for it to be automatically installed.

GitHub

Simply clone or download this repository and then move the directories within teamspeak to your application data TeamSpeak directory. The folder structures should be kept the same. After that, the theme should be available as both a style and an icon pack within your preferences.

Font

Optionally, there's a font directory included in your TeamSpeak application data directory under styles/Hivecom/font which you can install after any of the previous steps.

Icons

This add-on in itself contains a corresponding icon pack of the same name making installation hassle free. Feel free to use your own though but keep in mind the icons were made with the contrasted highlights in mind!

Source

The theme itself has been well documented and segmented as much as possible and uses a core set of variables and color declarations that should easily allow you to search and replace instances within the source code. This way, simple modifications of highlights and accents should come with ease without breaking much of the theme itself.

Come to find a design inconsistency or anything else of the sort? Either pop me an email at contact@catlinman.com or make a pull-request on the GitHub repository this theme resides in.

License & Attribution

Just like with the main NekoSpeak skin this one takes a lot of inspiration and settings from, it share the same license and attribution.

As is specifically stated in the source of this theme as well; this theme takes major inspiration and conventions from other themes such as DarkenTS by Brady_The, as well as the fork of that theme titled Demus by GrumpyDemus. Furthermore, it uses some code from the original Hivecom TeamSpeak skin which was based on Steam Skin by Adante.

The icon pack is based on a selection of icons ranging from material design derived ones with now contrasted edges, remakes of the original Steam icon pack and completely new icons custom made to fit the theme.

There is no license since this theme builds on derivatives from many others over the years. Feel free to edit and redistribute the theme as you see fit. Credit where you feel it's due.
