i just installed the latest version of piwik on a new server. It works fine and i just want to write my own theme. It’s a straight forward way i really like.
My Theme should only do the following things:
The header on all pages should be white (otherwise the logo looks crappy)
The text within the header should be black (not white because the background is already white)
How can i do this? I figured out to get the header background white:
I am not sure if you have received a response yet, but the only way I could find to do it was in the default Morpheus theme here “Morpheus/stylesheets/uibase” then edit the _header.less file and after the “#root {” I added
nav {height:120px;} nav {background:#fff !important;} nav a {color: #999 !important;}
Then you have to delete the “/public_html/analytics/tmp/assets/asset_manager_global_css.css” file and refresh your page to see the changes.
I’d recommend you not to edit the piwik files, but rather to create a theme containing the changes: https://developer.piwik.org/guides/theming
That way they would survive an piwik update.
thanks for your support. As I wrote, it was not my plan to edit piwik files - I was trying it with a own theme but I miss a LESS-Variable for the color in the navigation links. My workaround is set
nav a {color: #999 !important;}
It would be cool there is a var like: @theme-color-nav-color to set the color of the menu text.
And, the existing @theme-color-header-background: #ffffff; is not working on Login-Page. Is there an explanation for that?
This is great feedback. As it is likely a bug/ or missing feature, could you please create a ticket in our tracker here: https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues ? we will take a look at it. thanks
