Try To Make custom Theme Color Changer

itztxs

Sir You Can Make A feature Like this Type Members Choose Custom Color In Forum

luceos

itztxs can you clarify what exactly you think this means, how it would be shown to the user. What options there are, based on what settings, etc etc. Flarum already can be customized with basic settings like a primary and secondary color. There's also the option to use custom css. If you allow users to choose a theme, this might conflict. So .. your proposal needs to be more specific.

I think he just meant having users choose their own color scheme, like Twitter.

It is only possible in Plus UI / Royal UI / Lantro UI or any other theme.

It isn't possible in Flarum. Try searching any extensions or wait for any extension to do so.

Dequa As per rules,
it isn't possible in Flarum.

It isn't a rule. It's just that no such extension exists yet. As Flarum compiles its css it would probably require as many css files as there are themes, but this could easily be generated once and then offered as a choice to users.

I like this as a proposal, this would very much be an interesting extension

Dequa

luceos Sorry I mistakenly wrote as a rule.

It isn't a rule. I apologize. It is just that the extension isn't available yet.

Sorry @luceos

This could be implemented using CSS variables to negate the need to create/load separate CSS files. Since Flarum is still using a mix of Less and CSS variables at the moment it's probably not as simple as changing one variable, but it shouldn't take a lot of additional CSS to use CSS variables in the places that are required.

The next step is making opinionated choices about what should change colors. I'm sure everyone will want something different. The easiest would be to change colors just like if you changed the primary color in Flarum admin settings. But you might loose some of your brand identity by going so far.

I think something like that may be good, similar to imageboards where you can change the site theme to a few different things.
May also be good admin wise as well so they can change the sites theme for events? it would be nice to be able to change the sites logo and colours at once for a christmas theme, and have them saved. Currently/last christmas I changed the sites logo manually, tho i didnt tweak any colours. Just an idea 😄

Dequa

Lumeinshin Yeah it would be a great idea. Personally I think in mobile devices, the upper address bar should also change the colors. It should be upto the user to decide the color, not upto the admin. I hope that extension is available soon. I and @itztxs are making a earnest request.
