Hi there, I like the framework very much. Is there a tutorial to create own skins, explaining in more detail which sass files and variables to be adjusted ? Which can be used by beginners as well... BR Kai

Hi, if you use Gulp version of MDB Pro, you can see in scss catalog this file: "_custom-skin.scss". You can change default values to yours, save, compile and you will have your custom skin. And could you explain what do you mean by CI? Best, Marta

Currently, we don't have any tutorial that would help you to create your own skin, but it's not that hard to create new skin. You just need to take a look at sass/mdb/pro/_variables-pro.scss file. Here you'll find this code:
<code>  "light-blue": (
    "skin-primary-color": #3d799c,
    "skin-navbar": #3f5c80,
    "skin-footer-color": #3f5c80,
    "skin-accent": #b4c2c9,
    "skin-flat": #6a9ed3,
    "skin-sidenav-item": rgba(29, 54, 86, 0.6),
    "skin-sidenav-item-hover": rgba(29, 54, 86, 0.6),
    "skin-gradient-start": #69adf4,
    "skin-gradient-end": #69adf4,
    "skin-mask-slight": rgba(87, 134, 180, 0.5),
    'skin-mask-light': rgba(87, 134, 180, 0.65),
    "skin-mask-strong": rgba(87, 134, 180, 0.8),
    "skin-sn-child": #aadeff,
    "skin-btn-primary": #ff4a67,
    "skin-btn-secondary": #64c3f0,
    "skin-btn-default": #2d486a,
    "skin-text": #fff
  ),</code>

It's a simple array that you need to duplicate it and customize the colors. You should also change "light-blue" to your custom skin name

I'll write a tutorial as soon as possible ;)

Please insert min. 20 characters.

  "light-blue": (
    "skin-primary-color": #3d799c,
    "skin-navbar": #3f5c80,
    "skin-footer-color": #3f5c80,
    "skin-accent": #b4c2c9,
    "skin-flat": #6a9ed3,
    "skin-sidenav-item": rgba(29, 54, 86, 0.6),
    "skin-sidenav-item-hover": rgba(29, 54, 86, 0.6),
    "skin-gradient-start": #69adf4,
    "skin-gradient-end": #69adf4,
    "skin-mask-slight": rgba(87, 134, 180, 0.5),
    'skin-mask-light': rgba(87, 134, 180, 0.65),
    "skin-mask-strong": rgba(87, 134, 180, 0.8),
    "skin-sn-child": #aadeff,
    "skin-btn-primary": #ff4a67,
    "skin-btn-secondary": #64c3f0,
    "skin-btn-default": #2d486a,
    "skin-text": #fff
  ),

It would be great if there were a page that would allow you to preview how each variable affects the skin or at the very least some documentation around this.

Thank you for the tip! I added this to our list of ideas ;)

Unicomp pro commented 6 years ago

How can I get the one of the existing skin colors out of the system? (I would like to make a slight variation on the black skin for example)
