Django theme (default):

Run python manage.py loaddata admin_interface_theme_django.json

Bootstrap theme:

Run python manage.py loaddata admin_interface_theme_bootstrap.json

Foundation theme:

Run python manage.py loaddata admin_interface_theme_foundation.json

U.S. Web Design Standards theme:

Add more themes

You can add a theme you've created through the admin to this repository by sending us a PR. Here are the steps to follow to add :

1. Export your exact theme as fixture using the dumpdata admin command: python manage.py dumpdata admin_interface.Theme --indent 4 -o admin_interface_theme_{{name}}.json --pks=N

2. Copy the generated json file into the fixtures folder (making sure its name starts with admin_interface_theme_ to avoid clashes with fixtures that might be provided by other third party apps).

3. Remove the "pk" from the fixture and make sure the active field is set to true (in this way a theme is automatically activated when installed).

4. Edit the section above to document your theme.
