How to Create a Theme
Creating a theme is easy nowadays:
- Pick a base theme to start with, say, BaseTheme
- Pick a name for the new theme, let's say NameOfYourTheme
- Copy the theme directory:
cd /var/hda/platform/html/public/themes
cp -a BaseTheme NameOfYourTheme
- To change the display name of your theme to match that of the directory, edit
NameOfYourTheme/init.rb
- At this point the theme should be visible and selectable in http://hda/setup?tab=themes
- Of course, you can change the color scheme of the piecharts in init.rb also
- The details of the theme can be found in the NameOfYourTheme/style.css file and of course, the images!
Old Instructions
(to be deleted after 8/09)
- Invoke the theme generator with the name as the first argument
/usr/sbin/hda-generate-theme NameOfYourTheme
- The theme directory should be created at this point as NameOfYourTheme
- cd into it
- The theme screenshot file should be 640x480 and is located in
app/theme/theme-sshot.png
- The theme thumbnail file should be 64x64 and is located in
app/theme/theme-thumb.png
- The theme icon (for the installer in MyApps page), should be 48x48, and is located
app/icon.png
- The most important file in the theme is the CSS file, which contains the styling for the theme. The file is located in
app/theme/style.css
