# Theming Element
|
|
|
|
Themes are a very basic way of providing simple alternative look & feels to the
|
|
Element app via CSS & custom imagery.
|
|
|
|
To define a theme for Element:
|
|
|
|
1. Pick a name, e.g. `teal`. at time of writing we have `light` and `dark`.
|
|
2. Fork `res/themes/dark/css/dark.pcss` to be `teal.pcss`
|
|
3. Fork `res/themes/dark/css/_base.pcss` to be `_teal.pcss`
|
|
4. Override variables in `_teal.pcss` as desired. You may wish to delete ones
|
|
which don't differ from `_base.pcss`, to make it clear which are being
|
|
overridden. If every single colour is being changed (as per `_dark.pcss`)
|
|
then you might as well keep them all.
|
|
5. Add the theme to the list of entrypoints in webpack.config.js
|
|
6. Add the theme to the list of themes in theme.ts
|
|
7. Sit back and admire your handywork.
|
|
|
|
In future, the assets for a theme will probably be gathered together into a
|
|
single directory tree.
|
|
|
|
# Custom Themes
|
|
|
|
Themes derived from the built in themes may also be defined in settings.
|
|
|
|
To avoid name collisions, the internal name of a theme is
|
|
`custom-${theme.name}`. So if you want to set the custom theme below as the
|
|
default theme, you would use `default_theme: "custom-Electric Blue"`.
|
|
|
|
e.g. in config.json:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"setting_defaults": {
|
|
"custom_themes": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Electric Blue",
|
|
"is_dark": false,

}
|
|
}, {
|
|
"name": "Deep Purple",
|
|
"is_dark": true,
|
|
"colors": {
|
|
"accent-color": "#6503b3",

"timeline-highlights-color": "#22262E"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`compound` may contain overrides for any [semantic design token](https://compound.element.io/?path=/docs/tokens-semantic-colors--docs) belonging to our design system. The above example shows how you might change the accent color to blue by setting the relevant semantic tokens to refer to blue [base tokens](https://compound.element.io/?path=/docs/tokens-color-palettes--docs).
|
|
|
|
All properties in `fonts` are optional, and will default to the standard Riot fonts.
