Creating custom theme ¶

To create a theme:

make a new subdirectory (for example "your_theme_name") under ./themes/.
copy the files and directories from pmahomme to "your_theme_name"
edit the css-files in "your_theme_name/css"
put your new images in "your_theme_name/img"
edit layout.inc.php in "your_theme_name"
edit theme.json in "your_theme_name" to contain theme metadata (see below)
make a new screenshot of your theme and save it under "your_theme_name/screen.png"

Theme metadata¶

Changed in version 4.8.0: Before 4.8.0 the theme metadata was passed in the info.inc.php file. It has been replaced by theme.json to allow easier parsing (without need to handle PHP code) and to support additional features.

In theme directory there is file theme.json which contains theme metadata. Currently it consists of:

name

Display name of the theme.

This field is required.

version

Theme version, can be quite arbirary and does not have to match phpMyAdmin version.

This field is required.

desciption

Theme description. this will be shown on the website.

This field is required.

author

Theme author name.

This field is required.

url: Link to theme author website. It's good idea to have way for getting support there.

supports

Array of supported phpMyAdmin major versions.

This field is required.

For example, the definition for Original theme shipped with phpMyAdnin 4.8:

{     "name": "Original",     "version": "4.8",     "description": "Original phpMyAdmin theme",     "author": "phpMyAdmin developers",     "url": "https://www.phpmyadmin.net/",     "supports": ["4.8"] }
