+++ title = "Customization" weight = 25 +++ The Relearn theme has been built to be as configurable as possible by defining multiple [partials](https://gohugo.io/templates/partials/) In `themes/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/partials/`, you will find all the partials defined for this theme. If you need to overwrite something, don't change the code directly. Instead [follow this page](https://gohugo.io/themes/customizing/). You'd create a new partial in the `layouts/partials` folder of your local project. This partial will have the priority. This theme defines the following partials : - *content*: the content page itself. This can be overridden if you wan't to display page's meta data above or below the content. - *header*: the header of the content page (contains the breadcrumbs). _Not meant to be overwritten_ - *custom-header*: custom headers in page. Meant to be overwritten when adding CSS imports. Don't forget to include `style` HTML tag directive in your file - *footer*: the footer of the content page (contains the arrows). _Not meant to be overwritten_ - *custom-footer*: custom footer in page. Meant to be overwritten when adding Javacript. Don't forget to include `javascript` HTML tag directive in your file - *favicon*: the favicon - *logo*: the logo, on top left hand corner. - *meta*: HTML meta tags, if you want to change default behavior - *menu*: left menu. _Not meant to be overwritten_ - *menu-pre*: side-wide configuration to prepend to menu items. If you override this, it is your responsiblity to take the page's `pre` setting into account. - *menu-post*: side-wide configuration to append to menu items. If you override this, it is your responsiblity to take the page's `post` setting into account. - *menu-footer*: footer of the the left menu - *search*: search box - *toc*: table of contents ## Change the logo Create a new file in `layouts/partials/` named `logo.html`. Then write any HTML you want. You could use an `img` HTML tag and reference an image created under the *static* folder, or you could paste a SVG definition! {{% notice note %}} The size of the logo will adapt automatically {{% /notice %}} ## Change the favicon If your favicon is a png, just drop off your image in your local `static/images/` folder and name it `favicon.png` If you need to change this default behavior, create a new file in `layouts/partials/` named `favicon.html`. Then write something like this: ```html ``` ## Change default colors {#theme-variant} The Relearn theme let you choose between some predefined color scheme variants, but feel free to add one yourself! ### Standard variant ```toml [params] # Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green". themeVariant = "" ``` ![Red variant](/basics/customization/images/standard-variant.png?width=60pc) ### Red variant ```toml [params] # Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green". themeVariant = "red" ``` ![Red variant](/basics/customization/images/red-variant.png?width=60pc) ### Blue variant ```toml [params] # Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green". themeVariant = "blue" ``` ![Blue variant](/basics/customization/images/blue-variant.png?width=60pc) ### Green variant ```toml [params] # Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green". themeVariant = "green" ``` ![Green variant](/basics/customization/images/green-variant.png?width=60pc) ### 'Mine‘ variant First, create a new CSS file in your local `static/css` folder prefixed by `theme` (e.g. with _mine_ theme `static/css/theme-mine.css`). Copy the following content and modify colors in CSS variables. ```css :root { --MAIN-TEXT-color: #323232; /* Color of text by default */ --MAIN-TITLES-TEXT-color: #5e5e5e; /* Color of titles h2-h3-h4-h5-h6 */ --MAIN-LINK-color: #1C90F3; /* Color of links */ --MAIN-LINK-HOVER-color: #167ad0; /* Color of hovered links */ --MAIN-ANCHOR-color: #1C90F3; /* color of anchors on titles */ --MAIN-CODE-color: #e2e4e5; /* fallback color for code background */ --MAIN-CODE-BG-color: #282a36; /* fallback color for code text */ --MENU-HOME-LINK-color: #323232; /* Color of the home button text */ --MENU-HOME-LINK-HOVER-color: #5e5e5e; /* Color of the hovered home button text */ --MENU-HEADER-BG-color: #1C90F3; /* Background color of menu header */ --MENU-HEADER-BORDER-color: #33a1ff; /*Color of menu header border */ --MENU-SEARCH-BG-color: #167ad0; /* Search field background color (by default borders + icons) */ --MENU-SEARCH-BOX-color: #33a1ff; /* Override search field border color */ --MENU-SEARCH-BOX-ICONS-color: #a1d2fd; /* Override search field icons color */ --MENU-SECTIONS-ACTIVE-BG-color: #20272b; /* Background color of the active section and its children */ --MENU-SECTIONS-BG-color: #252c31; /* Background color of other sections */ --MENU-SECTIONS-LINK-color: #ccc; /* Color of links in menu */ --MENU-SECTIONS-LINK-HOVER-color: #e6e6e6; /* Color of links in menu, when hovered */ --MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-color: #777; /* Color of active category text */ --MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-BG-color: #fff; /* Color of background for the active category (only) */ --MENU-VISITED-color: #33a1ff; /* Color of 'page visited' icons in menu */ --MENU-SECTION-HR-color: #20272b; /* Color of
separator in menu */ } ``` Then, set the `themeVariant` value with the name of your custom theme file. That's it! ```toml [params] # Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be "red", "blue", "green". themeVariant = "mine" ```
