I noticed in a video if you went to themes in admin, and clicked on the theme name, it opened up a page that allows you to customize the colors.
I just get a blank page. Is that a bug in my install or 8.8? All I want to do it change the pastel color scheme.
Changing the CSS in this software looks like it requires a master’s degree in web design.
Hello Vincent,
so far, themes (developing new ones, changing current one, etc.) isn’t really a supported feature at the moment in Suite 8.8.
The different themes in Suite 7 could be selected through the admin settings, which doesn’t do much anymore in Suite 8 now.
Hi!
I currently have SuiteCRM 8 beta 2 up and running. All seems to be working just fine so far. I just can’t get my custom theme loaded which I’ve tried to place in /public/legacy/themes/mytheme. It’s basically just the suite8 theme with a different name in the themedef.php. Also tried to put it in /public/legacy/custom/themes/mytheme2.
Both of those themes show up in the admin, but after selecting either one and saving the Themes page is reloaded with the suite8 theme active again. Rebuildi…

Wow, that post was 4 years so I guess it’s just going to happen
I have tried to follow videos of using a custom themes folder but they break my site.
All I really want to do is change the menu (navbar) and menu dropdown color. I don’t care if it gets overwritten in an update, and I can redo those minor changes.
.navbar {
{
background-color: #534d64 ;
}
The CSS in inspect points to public/dist/styles.d5a2e831ecac31c7.css)
not a CSS folder. I can’t even find the code after unminifying that file.

If it is part of Angular, you have to follow front end development guide.

I don’t understand, what does that have to do with CSS?

SuiteCRM v8s use the Angular for most of its front end.

There is an easy workaround to this:
You can use something like that to simply inject the CSS from your browser.
Unfortunately, that is on browser level - not server level for everybody.
