theming jenkins

[Kayn Ty]

hi folks, i am mainly a front end developper,

so i wondered how i could make my own theme (to publish it on github) so that anyone can use other themes for their jenkins.

I am Jhon Snow about java ( i know nothing, but i achieved to set up my own jenkins and some jobs at my server )

so i would need some ressources to give me directions on how i can run jenkins with a custom theme.

by now, i cloned the github repository and found some css files, but i can't figure out how they are articulated.

So so others know - this thread was continued here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/jenkinsci-dev/Kayn/jenkinsci-dev/zDaX4yiWLLw/A5sSRsa6CQAJ

(also, I LOLed over the Jhon Snow reference about java, thanks for the chuckle;)

Hi Kayn,

I'm John Snow about web design, but any improvements about web interface & custom themes may be useful.

If you want to customize appearance of your own Jenkins instance:

• There is a UI Themes plugin from Tom Fennely (in Cc)
  
• Simple Theme Plugin is the "classic" approach, which allows to set custom CSS styles and JS handlers. 
• Please note that Jenkins project does not guarantee the compatibility of style sets in future Jenkins versions (even in 1.x)
  

If you want to improve the existing appearance, sync-up with Tom and Gus Reiber (see the mailing list). AFAIK they are working on multiple improvements now, so your help there may be very useful.

Please note that the Jenkins core changes required to get this working (modularizations and parameterization of the CSS using LESS etc) were never pushed upstream. It was something I did as a POC and it seemed like people were not all that interested in it, so I didn't pursue it.

Thanks Tom!

In such case Simple Theme Plugin seems to be the best available option right now.

I've googled for several usage examples:

• https://github.com/kevinburke/doony
  
• https://github.com/rackerlabs/canon-jenkins
  
• https://github.com/felipebn/clean-jenkins
• https://userstyles.org/styles/116809/dark-jenkins

I'll add links to Wiki. Probably you could take one of these existing themes and improve it.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hi there,

 You might contact Lewis since he asked whether having a central theme repo it will be useful or not
