Styling
We recommend you to customize your theme styles using the user style files. Use the following approaches to customize the theme’s styles :
Gulp based workflow
user.scss
You can add your own SCSS and override the theme style in the src/scss/user.scss
file.
_user-variables.scss
To make broader changes to the design of the theme, such as changing the color scheme or font sizes, use src/scss/_user-variables.scss
. Any variable from node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables
or src/scss/theme/_variables.scss
can be overridden with your own value.
_bootstrap.scss
To remove bootstrap components, update src/scss/_bootstrap.scss
file.
If you are not using Gulp based workflow
user.css
You can add your own CSS and override the theme style in the public/assets/css/user.css
file.
Changing theme colors
Gulp based workflow
If you are using gulp base work flow, you can update your theme colors with two different approaches.
1. Using scss variable:
_user-variables.scss
You can bring your necessary variable colors form src/scss/theme/_colors.scss
and paste it into src/scss/_user-variables.scss
then update variables as your necessity. We recommend to follow this approach.
Light mode is default theme style in Falcon. So, if you update any bootstrap’s SCSS variables, it will effect in Light mode. If you want to update any color, find the corresponding variable for thise color and place theme to _user-variables.scss file. For example:
//*-----------------------------------------------
//| Theme Colors
//-----------------------------------------------*/
$primary: $blue !default;
$secondary: $gray-600 !default;
$success: $green !default;
$info: $cyan !default;
$warning: $yellow !default;
$danger: $red !default;
$light: $gray-100 !default;
$dark: $gray-1100 !default;
If you want to update any theme colors for dark mode, update $theme-dark-colors
variable and to update the grays colors you have to update the $dark-grays
variable.
/*-----------------------------------------------
| Theme Styles
-----------------------------------------------*/
$theme-dark-colors: (
'primary': $primary, //change hare
'secondary': $secondary,
'success': $success,
'info': $info,
'warning': $warning,
'danger': $danger,
'light': rgba(map-get($dark-grays, '200'), 0.25),
'dark': $light,
) !default;
$dark-grays: (
'black': $white,
'100': $gray-1100,
'200': $gray-1000,
'300': $gray-900,
'400': $gray-800,
'500': $gray-700,
'600': $gray-600,
'700': $gray-500,
'800': $gray-400,
'900': $gray-300,
'1000': $gray-200,
'1100': $gray-100,
'white': $black,
) !default;
2. Using CSS variable:
_user.scss
To update theme color with this approach, you have to update CSS variable for both modes. If you change any color you have to assign it's corresponding RGB color too. Please note sometimes you may need to update corresponding component's CSS variable. For example:
/*-----------------------------------------------
| Theme Styles
-----------------------------------------------*/
$success: #00d27a;
$danger: #e63757;
:root, :root.light, :root .light {
--falcon-primary: #{$success};
--falcon-primary-rgb: #{to-rgb($success)};
...
...
...
}
.dark{
--falcon-primary: #{$danger};
--falcon-primary-rgb: #{to-rgb($danger)};
.card{
--falcon-card-bg: #{$success};
}
}
If you are not using Gulp based workflow
You can add your own CSS and override the theme style in the public/assets/css/user.css
file. You can update all theme colors including grays using css variables. If you change any color you have to assign it's corresponding rgb color. Sometimes you may need to update corresponding component's css variable too.
/*-----------------------------------------------
| Theme Styles
-----------------------------------------------*/
:root, :root.light, :root .light {
--falcon-primary: #00d27a;
--falcon-primary-rgb: 0, 210, 122;
...
...
...
/* grays */
--falcon-gray-100: #f9fafd;
--falcon-gray-100-rgb: 249, 250, 253;
}
.dark{
--falcon-primary: #e63757;
--falcon-primary-rgb: 230, 55, 87;
.card{
--falcon-card-bg: #00d27a;
}
}
