AbyssBox's Patch Notes (in reverse chronological order);
Version 1.0 - The Full Release
This update is the biggest one yet! Adding several new features to AbyssBox. Starting with,
- The Custom Theme Editor!
- All of your custom theme needs in one place! Making your own themes couldn't be easier! Just go to the Custom Theme prompt in Prefrences and check it out yourself!
- Thanks again to LeoV for helping so much on making the custom theme editor, without him this feature wouldn't of ever released!
- Thanks to the Custom Theme Editor, we now have three new Colorblind Assistence themes! These themes are called:
- Deuteranopia
- Protanopia
- Tritanopia
- Deuteranopia was made by Neptendo, while I made the other two.
- Speaking of themes, We've actually added 3 new ones outside of colorblind themes, adding to a total of 6 new themes!
- New Theme: Half-life. This theme has a similar color scheme and appearance to the original Half-Life.
- New Theme: Doom 1993. This theme features a redlit sky and the original doom font used in the first doom game. Thanks to Neptendo for adding the Doom Styled AbyssBox logo!
- New Theme: Windows Xp, simulate the asthetic of the classic interface of Windows Xp, complete with the original font, mouse, and wallpapaer in the background. This theme also features unique buttons similar to how Windows Xp looked Back then. We even have a Windows Xp-esque logo replacing the abyssbox logo!
- AbyssBox Classic has also been updated to feature new editor background sprites.
- We're not done just yet!
- The layouts featured in update 0.9 have been updated, kind of?
- The layouts themselves haven't recieved any updates, but the icons for them in the Layout Prompt has been fixed and now all of them are the same size regardless of theme.
- We've also added two new presets for you to try out. Harmonic Piano, and Organic Synth.
That was quite a bit this time!
As always, if you would like to make a suggestion for what AbyssBox should add, go ahead and ping @choptop84 on BeepCord in the #modded-beepbox channel!

Version o.9.2
- This update added only one change, but it's quite a big one!
- Supersaw is now in AbyssBox!!! This BeepBox 9.0 Feature is quite lacking in most beepbox mods, and since now it's featured in AbyssBox, we can officially use Samples, Custom Chip, The OP FM, and Supersaw all in one package!
If you would like to make a suggestion for what AbyssBox should add, go ahead and ping @choptop84 on BeepCord in the #modded-beepbox channel!
1/6/2024
Version o.9
- Added three new layouts!
- Flipped (AB), this layout reverses the Long Layout, currently unfinished but it'll work for now.
- Focus (AB), this layout reduces the size of the song settings by around 40%!
- Long (AB), This is an AbyssBox twist on the classic Long Layout, normally the track editor would go under the instrument and song settings, but now in this layout it actually does the opposite! The settings will now go over where track would normally go! Wanna try it out for yourself? Just make a song with over 75 Bars and swap between the two layouts!
- Updated AbyssBox Light
- Before, the AbyssBox Light was a little hard to see thanks to it's low contrast, now the contrast has been bumped up thanks to the suggestion that Nintari made. She suggested that I increase the contrast of the theme just a little bit and now it looks way better!
- Added two new fonts! AbyssType and AbyssType Small, they're in the testing phase, so expect major changes!
- The custom cursor for The three AbyssBox original themes now work!
All changes now are available in AbyssBox 0.9! If you aren't seeing these changes being reflected in your version of AbyssBox, then I would suggest clearing your cookies, fair warning though. Your settings will be reset!

- Added three new themes!
- AbyssBox Classic, The default theme.
- AbyssBox Competative, This theme is like the default theme, but all unnessasary colors are now black.
- AbyssBox Light, A light theme that's mostly pastel pink!.
- Attempted to add a new custom cursor for the new themes
