Switching to Tinta
How to change the look in Settings in two steps, what is kept and where to look for what you miss first.
Tinta is Roliando's current interface and the one all the guides describe. If you have been using Escena or the classic one, switching takes two taps and you lose nothing: the skin changes how things look and where each control is, not your data. This page is the short version; the full map of where everything went is in Coming from Escena.
Where it is
In Settings, Appearance section, the App skin setting. There you choose between Tinta, Escena and Classic. You get there from All settings or by typing "skin" in the palette search (Ctrl K).
How to change the look
- Open the Your account menu and press All settings.
- Go into Appearance.
- In App skin, choose Tinta. The change applies at once and is saved to your account.
- To go back, repeat the path and choose the other skin.
The accent color, the fonts and the background art are set in the same section (Look, themes and performance).
What is worth knowing first
- Your data is the same. Campaigns, sheets, maps, library, plan and messages do not move or get copied: you simply see them through another interface.
- Each skin has its own screen. The guides describe Tinta; if you stay on another skin, the names and positions of the controls you see will not match what they say.
- Controls are found by name. With
Ctrl Kyou search any screen, setting or action of the app, and right-click opens the menus of each thing (The command palette (Ctrl K), Right-click, ⋯ and Undo). - The main things are one tap away. The header has Home, Games, Workshop, Bazaar and Table (Getting around Tinta).
What you miss first
| If you are looking for... | It is in... |
|---|---|
| Your campaigns and sheets | Home |
| Messages and notices | The envelope (Messages) and the bell (Alerts) in the header |
| Settings and guides | The Your account menu |
| The campaign sections | The campaign rail (The campaign: rooms and sections) |
| Chat and combat at the table | The table's side panel (Table chat and commands) |
| A button you can no longer find | The palette search or Coming from Escena |
Common problems
"I changed the skin and everything looks different." That is expected: each skin has its own screen. If you do not like it, choose the previous one again in App skin.
"I cannot find the skin setting." Type "skin" in the settings search at All settings.
"I still see the old interface after changing it." Reload the page with Ctrl Shift R.
