Themer Bot: themes from pictures

You have a favorite photo or artwork, yet your chat looks like everyone else's? Themer Bot takes a picture and turns it into a Telegram theme. The background stays yours, and the interface colors are chosen to match it. 🎨

The bot is open: its source code is public, and it is written in TypeScript. That is a good sign for an app that handles your images.

A picture in, a theme out

The idea is simple. You send the bot the image you want as a background. The bot suggests colors that suit that picture.

If you dislike the suggested shades, you can reply with your own hex code, for an accent or for message bubbles. That way you steer the result instead of accepting whatever the machine picks.

Choosing a picture that works

The background decides almost everything. A theme made from a poor picture will be awkward to use, however well the bot matches the colors.

• Calm tones: scenery, a gradient or texture reads better than a busy collage.
• Contrast: light text on a bright sky will vanish, so check it first.
• Size: use a good-quality image so a big screen does not show blur.
• Orientation: tall frames look better on a phone.

What to do with the finished theme

Telegram applies themes through the appearance settings. The file format depends on the platform, since phones, desktop apps and the web version each have their own rules.

1. Send the bot a picture.
2. Accept the suggested colors or type your own hex code.
3. Take the theme and open it in Telegram's appearance settings.
4. If it feels awkward, go back to a standard theme and try another image.

Supporting the project

The only command in the bot menu is /donate. Through it you can support the author if the service was useful to you.

Paying is optional, and the bot does not push. If you decide to donate, do it only inside the bot itself, and ignore links from strangers in private messages.

Dark, light or your own

A custom interface color is about more than looks. Dark shades dazzle less in the evening, and warm accents do not strain the eyes after a long workday.

If you read on a phone on the subway, watch the contrast between text and background, since it matters more than a pretty shade. A good theme never distracts from the conversation. 🌙

Who benefits

People who like tuning the look of their apps, and people tired of standard palettes. Designers can also use it to check quickly how a favorite palette looks in a messenger.

If you want a huge catalog of ready-made themes and an editor for every single element, this bot solves a narrower task. It does one thing: a theme from a picture. 🖼️
