Customizing a Theme
JEM allows you to add your own custom theme, or edit any theme currently in your JEM installation.
*Note: this requires some knowledge of web design and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Theme Location
Themes are located in your /system/themes/main/ folder
you can either download the theme from your JEM admin area, under Design > Manage Themes or download the theme folder using FTP from the location specified above.
CSS
JEM uses CSS to manage the style of your theme. you have 2 options for editing the CSS you are currently using.
- Click on Design > Site Layout > Custom CSS. If you just need to make minor changes to the CSS code, you can enter the CSS tags directly in here. Any CSS code entered here will be rentered across any theme that you use for your website. (not including the admin area)
- Editing the style.css directly. If you want to make significant changes to the CSS for the theme that you are using, you can do so by downloading the theme, and opening up the /css/style.css file for editing.
