title: Theme colours summary: Information on configuration around the theme colour picker

Theme colour picker

The theme colour picker is a way of providing CMS users to adjust the colours of different areas of their site without requiring developer intervention.

Enabling

By default the theme colour picker is disabled, to enable this you can adjust your YAML configuration. E.g. in app/_config/config.yml:

SilverStripe\SiteConfig\SiteConfig:
  enable_theme_color_picker: true

Adjusting/adding colours

The theme colours are all configurable, so via YAML configuration you can adjust existing colours or add new ones to the theme colour picker. see CWPSiteConfigExtension.theme_colors for a list of the default colours.

SilverStripe\SiteConfig\SiteConfig:
  enable_theme_color_picker: true
  theme_colors:
    # Edit existing pink colour
    pink:
      Color: '#C12099'
    # Add new brown colour
    brown:
      Title: 'Brown'
      CSSClass: 'brown'
      Color: '#594116'

Now you can add the matching colour to your SCSS. Assuming your project is using a custom theme which imports Wātea's main.scss file, create a $custom-theme-colors as follows:

// themes/customtheme/scss/main.scss

// Ensure this variable is set before importing watea scss
$custom-theme-colors: (
  'pink': #C12099, // Adjusting existing pink colour
  'brown': #594116 // Adding new brown colour
);

@import '../../../watea/src/scss/main';

For more information on using customisable theme colours and fonts in the Wātea theme, please refer to the CWP Developer documentation: Using the Wātea theme.
