h1. HowTo create a custom Redmine theme
As of r818, Redmine offers basic support for themes.
Themes can override stylesheets only (application.css).
h2. Creating a new theme
Create a directory in public/themes. The directory name will be used as the theme name.
Example:
public/themes/my_theme
Create your custom @application.css@ and put it in a subdirectory names @stylesheets@:
public/themes/my_theme/stylesheets/application.css
Here is an example of a custom stylesheet that only override a few settings:
<pre><code>/* load the default Redmine stylesheet */
@import url(../../../stylesheets/application.css);
/* add a logo in the header */
#header {
background: #507AAA url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat 2px;
padding-left: 86px;
}
/* move the project menu to the right */
#main-menu {
left: auto;
right: 0px;
}
</code></pre>
This example assume you have an image located at @my_theme/images/logo.png@.
You can download this sample theme as a starting point for your own onw theme. Extract it in the @public/themes@ directory.
h2. Applying the theme
Go to "Administration -> Settings" and select your newly created theme in the "Theme" drop-down list. Save your settings.
Redmine should now be displayed using your custom theme.
_Note that if you install a new theme, you may need to restart the application so that it shows up in the list of available themes._
