Creating a new theme

Additional themes may be defined by creating a new theme directory containing the necessary files, as well as the corresponding XML file, whose name must match that of the theme's directory.
  1. Make a new directory within the /themes directory.

    Note: Do not include spaces in the directory name.
  2. Copy the contents of an existing theme directory to the new theme directory.

    For example, copy the greenTheme directory.

  3. Open the following files:
    1. base.css
    2. ie6.css
    3. ie7.css
    4. presentation.css
    5. yui/assets/skin.css
  4. Specify the new theme by searching for .yui-skin-greenTheme and replacing with .yui-skin-XXX where XXX is the name of the new theme directory.
  5. Save the files.
The new theme is then available in the list of themes on the Application tool.
