How to Customise Mayan EDMS Interface?

Using Mayan EDMS Questions
1

Hello
I’m looking for examples on how to change the styling of Mayan EDMS
I know we can do this using System → settings → themes and apply custom css.

  • I’m looking for any examples so that i can know which class name to select and apply rules to them.

  • Or any other ways to customize the theme. Any other themes are available for reference

Thank you

Not sure if you into CSS or now how it works, but I just looked at he source code and made a list of things I wanted to change and made a theme that overrides those values. Example I used on my test server I wanted to make header bar yellow so I know I am on the test server.

.navbar-default {
background-color: #c1a803;
}

You can also put your own label where “Mayan EDMS” is via the config file. Just be sure to restart the services.

# In config.yml
...
COMMON_PROJECT_TITLE: Test Server

The value of COMMON_PROJECT_TITLE can also be passed as an environment variable in the .env file:

MAYAN_COMMON_PROJECT_TITLE='Test Server'

i changed the project title and added some css like this
.navbar-default {
background-color: #c1a803 important;
color: #000000;
}
and i restated my server also still the theme is not changing. anyone know any idea?

I suspect because the CSS code used is not correct. Using the example above from ‘DocCyblade’ should work

Also please remember the theme need to be enabled for user, even if you are the one and only user

Is there maybe a complete css template file available for easy modification?

It would be more easy to adjust the elements in a list instead of finding out each css style name by checking the page source code.
