4 The theme plugin allows easily applying a theme to your wiki, by
5 configuring the `theme` setting in the setup file with the name of a theme
6 to use. The themes you can choose from are all subdirectories, typically
7 inside `/usr/share/ikiwiki/themes/`. See [[themes]] for an overview
8 of the themes included in ikiwiki and the [[theme market]] for third party themes.
10 You can set the theme via the **theme** option in your config file (after
11 enabling the plugin). Refresh the wiki after changing it to see the changes.
13 Hints for theme builders
14 ------------------------
16 * Start from an existing [[CSS file|css]], see also the [[css market]] for examples
17 * You can override the [[templates]] files by dropping them in a `templates` subdirectory
18 * Try to stick with modifying the CSS however, maintaining custom templates is harder
