h1. HowTo create a custom Redmine theme 

 Redmine offers basic support for themes. Themes can override stylesheets (application.css) and add some custom javascript. 

 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 save it in a subdirectory named @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 theme. Extract it in the @public/themes@ directory. 

 h2. Adding custom javascript 

 Simply put your javascript in @javascripts/theme.js@ and it will automatically be loaded on each page    (Redmine >= 1.1.0 only). 

 

 h2. Setting a Favicon 

 Put Simply put your favicon in @favicon@ directory @favicon/a.ico@ and it will automatically be loaded instead of default one on each page. The name of the favicon file can be anything. 

 page    (Redmine >= 2.5.0 only). For details see also #15689. 

 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. 

 If you are using Redmine < 1.1.0, you may need to restart the application so that it shows up in the list of available themes.
