Synopsis

This extension contains a sample theme for Magento 2

Motivation

This sample theme extension demonstrates how to create a customized theme by overriding elements from its parent theme.

Technical feature

  • This component demonstrates a customized theme named "eBay Blue" created by vendor "Magento". This theme inherits from the Magento/luma theme.
  • The theme is declared in theme.xml. The theme.xml file also contains information about the inheritance relationship and the location for a theme preview image preview.jpg.
  • To extend the layout for Magento/luma, default.xml is created and can be used to customize the layout. In this case, the "Report Bugs" link is removed from the footer. Additionally, a customized logo.png file is added and used by the new theme "eBay Blue".
  • _theme.less file is added to override the default variables values from the parent theme. In this case, the background color of the "copyright" section and the "header panel" section was changed from gray to blue. This can be achieved by declaring any element you wish to override with a new value at the end of the _theme.less file.
  • The composer.json file contains the dependency information required for this theme, which is defined under "require". The installation path of this theme is defined under "extra".
  • For more details, please refer to the public dev docs regarding theme: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v1.0/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-general.html
