Seamside

Catalogs

Where frames come from, and how they stay up to date.

The Frames page: in use, catalogs and collections

Why it matters

  • Find frames other people made, and try one before you keep it.
  • Updates arrive when you accept them, never on their own.

How it works

  • A catalog is a list of frames at a web address, or in a folder on your computer.
  • A frame installed from a catalog remembers where it came from, and you're offered a newer version when there is one.
  • Edit a frame yourself and it stops following its catalog, so your changes are never overwritten.
  • Point Seamside at a folder to work on frames in place. Your changes show up as updates.
  • Try a frame and it runs in your home until you stop it or keep it.

Set it up

  1. Open Frames and choose Catalogs.
  2. Add a catalog's address, or a folder.
