[FEATURE] Provide a predefined custom theme showing how to change all colors

[christopherpickering]

In the settings > theme it would be nice to have a predefined list of changes that should be made to recolor the website to fit an orgs theme.

Came out here to see if this was an option. Looks like currently, to change colors, we need to reconfigure the SCSS files and rebuild the site min css from them?

Hi @dukasmc1 , you can actually override the default colors/style in the settings > theme. You can test out on the demo. https://demo.atlas.bi/settings#theme

The predefined list would be extremely helpful since the bulma default colors are in a ton of places

Thanks! Yes it would be very helpful. On the other side, for "very deep" customization we should probably add a blank scss file that is imported before bulma - then when doing automatic deploys you can just replace that file with your settings.

Right now a deploy process looks like -

npm install
-- insert appsettings.cust.json, custom logo and some scss file
npm run dotnet:publish
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
dotnet ef database update --project web/web.csproj -v

then maybe some ssh commands to load the newly built site from the /out folder to IIS:

ssh $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server "net stop solr" || true
# stop website
ssh $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server "Powershell.exe -Command \"Stop-Website -Name atlas\"" || true
# stop app pool
ssh $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server "Powershell.exe -Command \"Stop-WebAppPool -Name atlas\"" || true
# load new site
scp -r /out/* $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server:/c:/inetpub/wwwroot/atlas
# start app pool
ssh $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server "Powershell.exe -Command \"Start-WebAppPool -Name atlas\""
# start website
ssh $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server "Powershell.exe -Command \"Start-Website -Name atlas\""
# start search
ssh $atlas_ssh_user@$atlas_server "net start solr"

@dukasmc1 would you like to see how our implementation is setup sometime?
