A little while ago YouTube changed the requirements for embedding videos in web pages, which broke the YouTube-based themes for Time Out.

I recently came up with a solution for this problem, and have updated the themes on the Time Out Extras page.

I also added a new theme for the Sinclair Trails travels in 2025, plus a couple new scenic ones, of underwater coral and tropical fish, and of a burning fireplace (from the same creator as the Tropical Rain video, which was also updated).

Here are direct download links for the new and updated themes:

• Sinclair Trails 2025 timelapses
• Sinclair Trails 2024 timelapses
• Sinclair Trails 2023 timelapses
• Sinclair Trails 2022 timelapses
• Sinclair Trails 2021 timelapses
• Dejus Chickens
• Dejus Water Features
• Tropical Rain
• Coral World
• Fireplace

I’ll bundle the updates with the next update of the app, but that’ll be a while off, so if you want to use any of these themes, download them from those links.

To install these themes:

1. Go to the Break Appearance page within Time Out.
2. Choose Reveal Themes from the Theme menu to open the Themes folder in the Finder.
3. Decompress the downloaded archive(s), if your browser didn’t do it for you.
4. Drag the resulting folder(s) into the revealed Themes folder.
5. That’s it; the new theme(s) will then appear in Time Out’s themes pop-up menu.

Here’s a preview of the new Sinclair Trails 2025 timelapse theme (just a random screenshot; the terrain varies, of course):
