Theming Riot
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Themes are a very basic way of providing simple alternative look & feels to the
|
||
|
|
riot-web app via CSS & custom imagery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They are *NOT* co be confused with 'skins', which describe apps which sit on top
|
||
|
|
of matrix-react-sdk - e.g. in theory Riot itself is a react-sdk skin.
|
||
|
|
As of Jan 2017, skins are not fully supported; riot is the only available skin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To define a theme for Riot:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Pick a name, e.g. `teal`. at time of writing we have `light` and `dark`.
|
||
|
|
2. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/dark.scss` to be teal.scss
|
||
|
|
3. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/_base.scss` to be _teal.scss
|
||
|
|
4. Override variables in _teal.css as desired. You may wish to delete ones
|
||
|
|
which don't differ from _base.scss, to make it clear which are being
|
||
|
|
overridden. If every single colour is being changed (as per _dark.scss)
|
||
|
|
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 matrix-react-sdk's UserSettings.js
|
||
|
|
7. Sit back and admire your handywork.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In future, the assets for a theme will probably be gathered together into a
|
||
|
|
single directory tree.
