  1. Create a UI/mvc folder in the Configuration folder in the .NET webapp installation and put the custom index file (for example custom_dashboard.stg) here.
  2. Create a webresources/mvc folder in the Configuration folder and put the JavaScript and CSS files here (optionally in /js and /css subfolders).
  3. Add a configuration section for your custom theme to Web.config in the wwwroot folder, as described in the Configuration section below.

Configuration

In order to configure your theme so it will be known by the Runtime several properties must be set. The following example shows properties for registering a theme named "custom_dashboard" in both Java and .NET:

Java

Code Block
languagetext
titleProperties for registering a custom theme in Java
blueriq.mvc.themes=custom_dashboard
blueriq.mvc.custom_dashboard.templateGroupFile=UI/mvc/custom_dashboard.stg
blueriq.mvc.custom_dashboard.templateName=main
Info

Working with multiple themes is possible by adding comma separated theme names to the mvc.themes property.

.NET

The mvc.themes or name property specifies the name for the theme which will be displayed in the Runtime theme selector. The other two properties specify which StringTemplate index file should be used and which StringTemplate function should be called to render the index page (see "Creating the index file" above). The path to the index file is relative to either the JAR/DLL or the 

Include Page
_ConfigLocation
_ConfigLocation
/Configuration folder. When a file name is specified which is located in
Include Page
_ConfigLocation
_ConfigLocation
/Configuration and that is already loaded from a JAR, the file from 
Include Page
_ConfigLocation
_ConfigLocation
/Configuration will be used and the file from the JAR/DLL will be overridden.
