## Custom themes
To create a custom theme, create a folder in:
_${KlipperScreen_Directory}/styles/_
The folder name will be the theme name, in that folder create another folder named `images` this is where the icons should be placed.
The icons must be SVG files with specific names that are defined in the code, use the default theme as a reference for the names or check the code.
To edit colors and styles, create a css file named `style.css` you can use the contents of another theme as a reference.
### Example 1
Example:
```sh ```sh
cd ~/KlipperScreen/styles cp /path/to/printer_icon.svg ~/KlipperScreen/styles/printers/printer_name.svg
mkdir -p mytheme/images
cd mytheme
cp ../z-bolt/images/* images/
echo "window { background-color: red;}" > style.css
sudo service KlipperScreen restart sudo service KlipperScreen restart
``` ```
