Hi,

So far I’ve created a custom theme using the openproject-plugin plugin ans successfully deployed and enabled it on our installation.

Now I would like to *replace the default theme favicon*/shortcut icon with a custom version from my custom theme.

Is that possible? If yes, how could I approach this?

Thanks a lot!
Ole.

Hi Ole,

I don’t know the structure of your theme so it is hard to say. I added a theme skeleton in this thread
In a Theme like this you can just add your new favicon.icon to the following folder:

app/assets/images/shiny/

Hi Ratzi,

my theme is structured paractically identical, but not quite :) I’ll take a look and see if I can figure out why this works for you and not for me :)

Just to elaborate: I can add assets to my theme and can access them, but existing assets like favicon.ico are not being overridden/replaced.

Cheers,
Ole.

Hi again,

you have to set the theme ‘assets_path’. See lib/open_project/themes/shiny/all.rb:9 and lib/open_project/themes/shiny.rb:6

Wow, thank you, that actually did the trick!

Thanks again,
Ole.

You’re welcome.

If you have a look in ‘app/assets/stylesheets/shiny/_variables.css.sass’ you can may be improve your theme by just overriding the OpenProject core SASS variables so you don’t have to override the css Rules by hand.

Thanks for the advice! I suppose this way it should be possible to adjust global values (like the highlight color) much quicker than by adjusting every single rule by hand. I’ll definitely give it a try! I’ve found a seemingly comprehensive list of variables in https://github.com/opf/openproject/blob/dev/app/assets/stylesheets/global/_variables.sass.

Thanks a lot for your support!
Best, Ole.
