Efficient way of modifying the new AppGini 5.20 themes
Posted: 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.
