customizing the theme

Junior Member Postagens: 37 Data de Entrada: 14/05/12 Postagens Recentes
Hi all,

i want to customize the theme of the pages in liferay. i have added the new theme id in liferay-look-and-feel.xml as below.
<theme id="testTheme" name="TestTheme">
<root-path>/html/themes/testTheme</root-path>
<templates-path>/html/themes/testTheme/templates</templates-path>
<images-path>/html/themes/testTheme/images</images-path>
<template-extension >vm</template-extension>
<settings>
<setting key="my-setting" value="example-value"/>
</settings>
<color-scheme id="01" name="Red">
<css-class>red</css-class>
<color-scheme-images-path>${images-path}/color_schemes/${css-class}</color-scheme-images-path>
</color-scheme>
</theme>

i have modified the background color in custom.css present in .........\ROOT\html\themes\testTheme\css folder but the background color doesnt change.
so i have changed the background color in red.css present in ...........\ROOT\html\themes\testTheme\css\color_schemes even then my background color doesnot change.

I am having same problem even with the background images. Can any one tell me the exact file where i need to change the color and image to get these changes to be reflected on liferay

Hi,

You have directly created your theme in Root FOLDER or you have used plugin for creating your custom theme?

i have directly created a theme directly in the ROOT folder.

the changes i am doing are reflecting in the portal but after a long time lag. I donot know why this is happening.

Even the changes are different in Mozilla and IE.

Hi,

Its not the recommended way to create themes. You should use plugins sdk to create the theme.

Try to check after clearing the cache from control panel.
Control panel>server> Server Administration
Clear content cached by this VM.
Clear content cached across the cluster.
(excute) those

Also enable the developer mode as described at http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Liferay+Developer+Mode

With developer mode changes made to vm templates/css/js are reflected instantly.

You should also create theme project using liferay SDK and make your changes in _diff folder and then do ant deploy.
