Choose and adjust a theme

Switch themes, change their settings, install new ones and make your own copy.

Open Themes in the panel (owners, administrators, and anyone with themes.manage).

  • Activate another theme. Your content stays as it is; only the look changes. Wake clears the page cache, so visitors see the new look right away.
  • Settings of the active theme appear below the overview, for Tide the accent colour, the next events and the tags on the start page, and a footer line. What a theme offers is up to the theme.
  • Duplicate makes a copy in themes/. Change the copy's templates and styles as you like and activate it; the original stays untouched, and updates of Wake never change your copy.
  • Install a theme (ZIP): upload a ZIP with a theme folder. It needs a templates/ folder with Blade templates; theme.yml and screenshot.jpg are optional. A new theme is not activated automatically.
  • Remove moves an inactive theme to data/trash/.

Themes contain PHP (Blade) and run with full rights. Only install themes from people you trust.

How to build a theme step by step is described in Build your own theme; every variable and method is in the templates reference.
