Not able to find the theme-settings.properties file!!

Hi, I'm exploring the possibility of using Viewport for external facing product documentation.

The help for Viewport says I should be using the theme-settings.properties file to manage the look and feel of the page. However, I am unable to locate this file. I see the theme.colors.css, theme.main.css, theme.main.js and several other files though. Though I've been able to make a few changes to the aesthetics of my page using these individual files, I am not sure if using these individual files is the most efficient way.

Could you please help me figure this out?

Thanks!

You can use it. Theme.properties must be created. It is not their by default.

Here is what I have...create it at root level..

theme.plugin.key=com.mycompany-theme-plugin
theme.plugin.name=mycompany
theme.plugin.version=1.1
theme.plugin.module.key=mycompany-theme
theme.description=This is MyCompany Scroll Viewport theme for customer-facing online documentation.
theme.enableViewportControl=false

But why do you say that you need this file to create Viewport? This file doesnt do all that. It only helps control the listed attributes. I am not sure how things have changed in help center though. I have not yet upgraded to helpcenter version...

Thanks a lot, Amit!

I think I figured it out.. the Help Center theme that is offered by default is a part of version 2.15. In this version, for this default theme, we have the theme-settings.properties created by default. I was using an older version and hence couldn't see the file.

Hope this makes my life a little easier.

Cheers!
