Default Flarum Styles

niloc

Hi folks,

Is there a reference for Flarum's default styles to modify around for the Edit CSS part?

Or at least a tutorial on how to themefy Flarum? =)

Either it doesn't exist or I am totally blind in my search so far...

niloc Usually, our recommendation is to use inspect element to identify CSS classes, and then add custom CSS to change their appearance.

askvortsov Btw, when editing the Edit CSS, does Flarum load everything + the overwrite? Or does it cache or merge those new CSS together first?

I was thinking that if I heavily modify the theme, it would load a tad bit more data, slowing down the forum.

niloc flarum merges its file based less with the less you add in the admin area and then compiles it into css. So overrides do not necessarily increase the size, but additions do.

niloc The effect shouldn't be that significant. That being said, if you'd like to replace entire stylesheets, you could use the Theme extender

luceos Nice! That's some great coding convention applied right there! Thanks!
