Closed by ryanlerch. Opened by humaton.

Change the default look of Fedora deployment.

Over all colors should be in Fedora color scheme.

More info on templates in forgejo


I'd like to have a look at this

Dropping a link of brand colors: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/brand/

@thisisyaash
forgejo uses tailwind, maybe this could help with creating a fedora theme: https://daisyui.com/theme-generator/
(just a suggestion, I don't know much about frontend)

that is helpful...actually i was able to get only the assets, not the brand color theme, thanks for providing that "fedora brand theme"!

even i dont know much abt frontend, but im just experimenting with it
yk, trial & error and fixing something with that! :sweat_smile:

but yeah I'll take a look at it, thanks!

Metadata Update from @humaton:
- Issue assigned to thisisyaash

the current status of my progression in changing theme/UI is:

I was able to change the theme color by tweaking the .css files
- web_src/css/themes/theme-forgejo-light.css
- web_src/css/themes/theme-forgejo-light.css

and that seems to do the job, since everything related to colors of the element is pointing to those files.

I was planning to change the theme colors by injecting custom CSS into the templates, but (for me) it makes more sense if we're changing the colors of the theme by changing CSS elements in web_src/css, rather than injecting custom css using the template.

*since all the theme files are inside one place under web_src/css/themes and we can make the required changes without using the templates

but im just asking, can we use templates to actually change the colors of the theme? or we can stick with changing css elements files in web_src/css.

templates make more sense when we're changing the structure of the UI
but I'm not sure if we should do the same for changing color of the theme.
