OK, trying this question again. Squark, could you please explain to us mortals how you "change" this theme? You don't need to explain every click, but some general instructions would be very useful. If this is explained somewhere, a link would be great.

Since the question of customizing external themes comes up often, it would in fact be useful to have this documented clearly on this site.

You can assume that anyone reading such documentation knows CSS and knows how to create custom themes "the old way", i.e. using the site manager and inheriting from Base.

Thanks.

I doubt that there is an instruction how to extend themes from themes.wikidot.com as they are designed to be delivered as is, but here is the instruction how to build your own theme. After reading it, it should be easy for you to understand how CSS works and how to do all the magic :)

In this particular case, if you want to extend this theme, you need to create new theme in your Site Manager, copying the CSS code from THIS theme (above: show the code) and altering the parameters you need to change, e.g. widths or colors.

Note that in the first line of this theme you have @import url, which imports other CSS (from Green Fresh theme), so you need to change this path to absolute (from /local--code/green-fresh to https://files.themes.obscurative.ru/local--code/green-fresh).

Edit: Also images are linked relatively, so you need to change urls in the same way as above, adding full path https://files.themes.obscurative.ru/local--files/orange-fresh/.

Hi Squark,
I think that this useful post should be rewritten elsewhere in this site.

I didn't play that much with Custom internal themes and I realize that extending external themes is a little more complicated … if not explained in a visible place.
