How to Create a Theme

  • Pick a name for the new theme, let's say NameOfYourTheme
  • Invoke the theme generator with the name as the first argument
     hda-generate-theme NameOfYourTheme
  • The theme directory should be created at this point as NameOfYourTheme
  • cd into it
  • The theme screenshot file is called
     app/theme/theme-sshot.png

and it should be 640x480

  • The theme thumbnail file is called app/theme/theme-thumb.png and it should be 64x64
  • The theme icon (for the installer in MyApps page), is called app/icon.png and it should be 48x48
  • The most important file in the theme is the CSS file, which contains the styling for the theme. That is app/theme/style.css
