Efficient way of modifying the new AppGini 5.20 themes

Post by a.gneady » 2013-10-28 19:34

The new Bootstrap-based themes in AppGini 5.20 seem to be tempting many users to play with them, based on support questions I'm getting from you :)

You can modify the theme file in the generated application by opening it from the generated "resources/initializr/css" folder ... But if you modify the CSS in that folder, it will get overwritten if you regenerate the application and your changes will be lost.

So, here is a tip for not loosing your CSS changes when regenerating the files: Open the folder where AppGini is installed (usually C:\Program Files\AppGini or C:\Program Files (x86)\AppGini), then open the subfolder "add-ons\themes" ... Now make a copy of the CSS file you are using as a theme, and rename it to some other name (e.g. "my-cyborg.css"), and make the desired changes in it. The new file will now become a theme available for you to select in AppGini from the themes window. You can use it in any other future project and your changes in it are not overwritten.
:idea: AppGini plugins to add more power to your apps:
  • DataTalk is an innovative AppGini plugin based on ChatGPT that allows you to interact with your AppGini database using natural language questions, without writing any SQL. Check the demo video
  • Mass Update plugin: Update multiple records at once and improve your workflow efficiency.
  • Check our other plugins and get a generous discount of up to 30% when buying 2 or more plugins.
