A theme consists of UI elements such as logos, images, copyrights messages, landing page text, background colors etc. WSO2 API Store comes with a default theme. 

...

Because a main theme already has most of the UIs and the syntax and logic of Jaggery code defined, in a typical scenario, you do not have to implement a theme from scratch. Rather, you just add in your edits as a sub theme of the existing main theme as given below:

  1. Download the default main theme from here, unzip it and rename the folder according to the name of your new theme (e.g., ancient). Let's call this folder the <THEME_HOME>.
  2. To change the logo of the API Store, replace the logo.png  file inside the  <THEME_HOME>/images folder with this logo (or anything else of your choice.)
  3. To change the copyrights note in the footer, open the  <THEME_HOME>/templates/page/base/template.jag  file using a text editor, search for the word "Copyright"  and change the text. For example, let's add our company name as "copyright", "&copy; Copyright 2011 &ndash; 2014 My Company."
  4. To change the header's background color, open the <THEME_HOME>/css/styles-layout.css file using a text editor and add the following CSS rule to the end of the file. It changes the header color.

    Code Block
    languagecss
    .header{    
        background:#7e3330;
    }
  5. As you plan to upload this as a sub theme of the default main theme, delete all the files in your <THEME_HOME> folder except the ones that you edited. The rest of the files will be automatically applied from the main theme.

...

  1. Go inside the <THEME_HOME> folder, select all the folders inside it and right click to archive all the selected files and folders together. Then rename the archive files to ancient.zip.
  2. Log in to WSO2 Admin Dashboard Web application using the URL https://<Server Host>:9443/admin-dashboard).
    For example, if you are a WSO2 Cloud user and want to upload a new theme, log in to the URL api.cloud.wso2.com/admin-dashboard with the user name as email@domain with the @ in the email replaced by a dot (e.g., john.gmail.com@MyCompany). 
  3. Click the Upload Tenant Theme menu and upload your zip file.
  4. Open the API Store and note the new theme applied to it.
