Themes allow administrators and resellers to specify custom colors, style sheet, header and footer.

Creating

To create a new theme go to System > General Settings > Themes > New.

Location
The path where the theme files are located.
Theme Owner
The user that owns the theme. Specify "System" to create a top level template.
Name
The name shown in the themes list.
Page Title
The prefix added to the page titles.
Hostname
This theme is selected automatically when the control panel is accessed using this hostname.
For example your reseller can create a hostname panel.resellerdomain.com. When you access that hostname the theme will be selected automatically.
The hostname must resolve to the control panel's IP.
Logout Url
The url where the user is redirected after logging out. leave blank to use the default url configured by the administrator.
Default reseller theme
If checked, a copy of this theme is assigned to the reseller when it is created. It can still be disabled if you don't want it to show up in the themes list.
Enabled
Disable this theme if you don't want it to show up in the themes list.
Default
If the user has not selected a theme, the default theme is used.
Theme Options
Specify custom colors and images for the theme.
Advanced
Specify custom CSS, header and footer.

Using Custom Icon Images

To use custom images you need to recreate the same directory structure under the theme's folder.

For example
The url to the Users icon is: http://127.0.0.1:8880/App_Themes/Default/Images/ControlPanel/MenuIcons/Base/Users.png
Create this directory structure with your custom image. Make sure the tcadmin or TCAWeb user has permissions to read the file.
Windows: C:\Program Files\TCAdmin2\ControlPanel\User_Themes\1\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001\Images\ControlPanel\MenuIcons\Base\Users.png
Linux: /home/tcadmin/ControlPanel/User_Themes/1/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001/Images/ControlPanel/MenuIcons/Base/Users.png
Resellers: Since resellers don't have direct access to create the directory structure you can export your theme, create the directory structure in the zip file and import it again. Only image and CSS files are allowed.

Note: For this to work you also need to create the 16x16 and 24x24 icons. For example Users16x16.png and Users24x24.png

Resellers

Resellers can have their own themes. You can specify the maximum number of themes a reseller can have in the role settings.
