Creating Themes
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Themes are used to configure the look and feel of login pages and the account management console.
|
|
|
|
Custom themes packaged in a JAR file should be deployed to the `${kc.home.dir}/providers` directory. After that, run
|
|
the `build` command to install them before starting the server.
|
|
|
|
You are also able to create your custom themes in this directory, directly. Themes within this directory do not require
|
|
the `build` command to be installed.
|
|
|
|
When running the server in development mode using `start-dev`, themes are not cached so that you can easily work on them without a need to restart
|
|
the server when making changes.
|
|
|
|
See the theme section in the [Server Developer Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/#_themes) for more details about how to create custom themes.

Overriding the built-in templates
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
While creating custom themes, especially when overriding templates, it may be useful to use the built-in templates as
|
|
a reference. These can be found within the theme directory of `../lib/lib/main/org.keycloak.keycloak-themes-25.0.1.jar`, which can be opened using any
|
|
standard ZIP archive tool.
|
|
|
|
**Built-in themes should not be modified directly, instead a custom theme should be created.** |
