===== Edit Theme =====

==== Theme Settings ====

You can see currently active theme on your main page with  information about it and some attributes you can change. Attributes can be of different types: colors, fonts, images and etc. Using them you can change the look and feel of your site to some extent. 

|**Note**: Set of available attributes depends on the theme. Some themes might not have any changeable attributes at all.| 

=== Example: Change header image ===

Find following element:

{{:admin:appearance-choose-header.png?500|}}


Instead of  the default image upload another image file from your computer. Changes will take effect immediately after you click **Save** button.

{{:admin:appearance-changed-header.png?500|}}

==== CSS ====

{{:admin:appearance-edit-css.png?500|}}

|**Note**: If you are not confident in your CSS style skills, we do not recommend using this tool. As a result of your mistakes your web site might stop working. You need to select the most suitable theme and limit yourself to [[#theme_settings| the set of its attributes]].|

Here you can see existing CSS styles of your currently active theme and add new ones. Please note that we offer you to add your own styles separately instead of replacing original CSS files. This way you can easily trace your changes and localize possible issues. 

==== Graphics ====

{{:admin:appearance-graphics.png?500|}}

If you are [[#css|editing your theme via CSS]], you might need custom images. Use this page to upload images from your computer and to add URLs of uploaded files in CSS styles. 

|**Note**: Сustom images are saved in your current theme. They will not appear in any other theme, unless you activate the other theme and uploade images there as well.|

===== Choose theme =====

{{:admin:appearance-choose-theme.png?500|}}

Here you can see the list of available themes on your site. You can activate any of them and it will immediately replace previously  active theme.

|**Note**: Customizations made to previously active theme will be saved. You can activate any of the previously used themes at any time with all changes you have made in them before.| 

===== Add theme =====
