# Creating a theme for Pterodactyl
|
|
This tutorial briefly covers how to create a theme for Pterodactyl without overwriting the main theme files.
|
|
|
|
## Using CLI
|
|
Begin by going to your panel's main directory typically installed at `/var/www/pterodactyl`. The command below is a straightforward setup that will cover
|
|
the majority of the functions all for you (such as Theme Name, Views Location, Assets Location etc).
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
php artisan theme:create
|
|
```
|
|
This command will activate the theme wizard. Besides the name, the defaults will suffice, see the below example.
|
|
::: warning Do not create the theme named as `pterodactyl` as that is Pterodactyl's main design and should NOT be overwritten. :::
|
|
``` bash
|
|
Give theme name:
|
|
> (Enter Theme Name Here) (Example: MyThemeNameHere)
|
|
|
|
Where will views be located? []:
|
|
> (Press Enter)
|
|
|
|
Where will assets be located? []:
|
|
> themes/(MyThemeNameHere) (Example: themes/MyThemeNameHere)
|
|
|
|
Extends an other theme? (yes/no) [no]:
|
|
> (Press Enter)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have done it correctly, the summary should be like this:
|
|
Summary:
|
|
- Theme name: `MyThemeHere`
|
|
- Views Path: `/var/www/pterodactyl/resources/themes/MyThemeHere`
|
|
- Asset Path: `/var/www/pterodactyl/public/themes/MyThemeHere`
|
|
- Extends Theme: No
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Create Theme? (yes/no) [yes]:
|
|
> (Press Enter)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the above shows as that then your initial theme has been created correctly!
|
|
|
|
### Set your newly created theme as default
|
|
Place your downloaded theme in the correct directory **without overwriting** the default Pterodactyl theme. See the following examples:
|
|
|
|
Your `public` folder into `/var/www/pterodactyl/public/themes/MyThemeHere/`
|
|
|
|
Your `resources` folder into `/var/wwww/pterodactyl/resources/themes/MyThemehere/`
|
|
|
|
### Setting your theme name in .env
|
|
After creating your theme and uploading those theme files correctly, you need to edit your `.env` (environment) file next.
|
|
Open up your `.env` file and locate `APP_THEME=pterodactyl` line and change it to `APP_THEME=MyThemeHere` (case-sensitive) and save it.
|
|
|
|
When done correctly, your panel will now load your custom/new theme correctly without any issues.
