Themes

Once you have selected the layout you wish to use in the previous article. You should decide to whether to use CSS or SCSS. Pages support both options. Next Pages comes with 9 color themes to select. See below how to change or use them.

Using CSS

We have included 9 pre-made themes found inside pages/css/themes/ To switch theme locate the link tag with class="main-stylesheet" in your head tag. Replace href or entire link stylesheet tag with the below ones.

  1. Default

    <link class="main-stylesheet" href="pages/css/pages.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  2. Corporate

    <link class="main-stylesheet" href="pages/css/themes/corporate.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  3. Light

    <link class="main-stylesheet" href="pages/css/themes/light.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  4. Retro

    <link class="main-stylesheet" href="pages/css/themes/retro.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  5. Simple

    <link class="main-stylesheet" href="pages/css/themes/simple.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  9. Abstract

    <link class="main-stylesheet" href="pages/css/themes/abstract.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Using SCSS

SCSS works much easier where you can switch the theme by simply changing the import path to the variable file. The import is located at pages/scss/pages.scss

Default

// Import Vars
@import "var";

Change to 

// Import Vars
@import "themes/abstract/var";

you can change it to any the in the pages/scss/themes folder

Step Three
