Theming Element
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Themes are a very basic way of providing simple alternative look & feels to the
|
|
Element 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 Element itself is a react-sdk skin.
|
|
As of March 2022, skins are not fully supported; Element is the only available skin.
|
|
|
|
To define a theme for Element:
|
|
|
|
1. Pick a name, e.g. `teal`. at time of writing we have `light` and `dark`.
|
|
2. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/dark.pcss` to be `teal.pcss`
|
|
3. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/_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 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.
|
|
|
|
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"`.
|
|
|
|
eg. in config.json:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"setting_defaults": {
|
|
"custom_themes": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Electric Blue",
|
|
"is_dark": false,
|
|
"fonts": {
|
|
"faces": [
|
|
{
|
|
"font-family": "Inter",
|
|
"src": [{"url": "/fonts/Inter.ttf", "format": "ttf"}]
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
"general": "Inter, sans",
|
|
"monospace": "'Courier New'"
|
|
},
|
|
"colors": {
|
|
"accent-color": "#3596fc",
|
|
"primary-color": "#368bd6",
|
|
"warning-color": "#ff4b55",
|
|
"sidebar-color": "#27303a",
|
|
"roomlist-background-color": "#f3f8fd",
|
|
"roomlist-text-color": "#2e2f32",
|
|
"roomlist-text-secondary-color": "#61708b",
|
|
"roomlist-highlights-color": "#ffffff",
|
|
"roomlist-separator-color": "#e3e8f0",
|
|
"timeline-background-color": "#ffffff",
|
|
"timeline-text-color": "#2e2f32",
|
|
"timeline-text-secondary-color": "#61708b",
|
|
"timeline-highlights-color": "#f3f8fd",
|
|
"username-colors": ["#ff0000", ...]
|
|
"avatar-background-colors": ["#cc0000", ...]
|
|
}
|
|
}, {
|
|
"name": "Deep Purple",
|
|
"is_dark": true,
|
|
"colors": {
|
|
"accent-color": "#6503b3",
|
|
"primary-color": "#368bd6",
|
|
"warning-color": "#b30356",
|
|
"sidebar-color": "#15171B",
|
|
"roomlist-background-color": "#22262E",
|
|
"roomlist-text-color": "#A1B2D1",
|
|
"roomlist-text-secondary-color": "#EDF3FF",
|
|
"roomlist-highlights-color": "#343A46",
|
|
"roomlist-separator-color": "#a1b2d1",
|
|
"timeline-background-color": "#181b21",
|
|
"timeline-text-color": "#EDF3FF",
|
|
"timeline-text-secondary-color": "#A1B2D1",
|
|
"timeline-highlights-color": "#22262E"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`username-colors` is expected to contain 8 colors. `avatar-background-colors` is expected to contain 3 colors. Both values are optional and have fallbacks from the built-in theme.
|
|
|
|
These are exposed as `--username-colors_0`, ... and `--avatar-background-colors_0`, ... respectively in CSS.
|
|
|
|
All properties in `fonts` are optional, and will default to the standard Riot fonts.
