Theming difficulties

[Michael Weiner]

We are currently trying to establish theming for our board. The aim is to style all widget headers without having to amend .css files.

Following the documentation we have added

ourwallboard/themes/ourtheme/variables.styl

and enabled the theme via

config/theming.js

module.exports = {
  theme: 'ourtheme'
};

So far, we have seen no results. We have also tried to fiddle around with ourwidget.styl files but to no avail.

Could you please advise on the correct use of theming or help out with an example? We have tried to follow the documentation as closely as possible but seem to be stuck. Thanks a lot in advance.

I just copied their default "variables.styl", changed a few colors, and repeated your steps from above. It worked for me. Maybe there's something wrong with your stylus file?

Hi @Michael_Weiner, creating a new ourwallboard/themes/ourtheme/variables.styl with just

$background-color = red

and then making sure ourwallboard/config/theming.js is configured to point to it as you stated before should work nicely (I just double checked)
