Freshrss: Custom Theme?

[Aasemoon]

Hi there,

After creating a new theme [based on what's currently available] I'm having trouble getting the new theme to show up in the list of themes I can choose. How can I get the new theme recognised? [Wasn't able to find anything in the documentation...].

Cheers!

You have to put it in the theme folder and have the same architecture than other themes.
Did you forget to add a metadata.json file?

[Aasemoon]

@aledeg Thanks for your response.
That's exactly what I did though. And I did adjust metadata.json as well. That's why I don't understand why it doesn't show up in the list!

[aledeg]

Could you share it in a gist for instance? I'll have a look at it later today.

[Aasemoon]

Sure... but share what exactly? What I have is pretty much the original theme from here:
https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/tree/master/p/themes/Origine
The only difference is what's in metadata.json, mine looks like this:
{ "name": "Blue", "author": "Aasemoon", "description": "A blue theme for FreshRSS", "version": 0.1, "files": ["_template.css", "origine.css"] }

I didn't really get to changing anything yet, was just trying to tweak a couple of colours for starters.

I've tried to create a template and it's working correctly.
Here are the steps I've followed:

1. copy the folder ./p/themes/Origine to ./p/themes/Aasemoon,
2. change the content of ./p/theme/Aasemoon/metadata.json by the one you provided,
3. change the background color for html in ./p/themes/Aasemoon/origine.css to blue,
4. go in the configuration and see that I have now 8 themes instead of 7,
5. select the new theme and apply it to see that the background turned blue.

Did you follow those steps?

[Aasemoon]

@aledeg Thanks for your help. The problem seems to have just solved itself, though to be honest I'm not sure exactly how! I originally did all of what you've suggested here. And I was still seeing 7 themes. Now I just went ahead and repeated all of this again, the only thing I did different is that I created a new CSS file as well for the new theme. Now it shows up. Odd! =)

It might be a permission issue, I think server was not able to access your files and/or repository so was not able to show your theme… but I may be wrong as well :).

[aledeg]

@Aasemoon could we close that issue?

[Aasemoon]

@aledeg Yes, the issue is resolved. Thanks.

@Aasemoon If you end up with a new theme, please share :-)

[Aasemoon]

@Alkarex Sure, if I end up with anything more than a few tweaked colours I'll certainly share it. =)
