Its title says it all: the "Theme & Logo" page enables you to efficiently manage your themes, and this where you go if you want to update your logo.

Your current theme

The first section of the page serves as a reminder of which theme you are currently using, with its details:

• Theme name and version
• Theme author's name, website and email address.
• Thumbnail for the theme.

This section also gives you access to a handful of tools, which helps you to quickly customize the current theme: header logo, mail logo, invoice logo, favicon, store icon and even the navigation pipe can be easily modified from there.

Configure your page layouts

Depending on your theme's options you can customize each kind of page layout: whether it should have columns or not, how many, with different sizes, and so on.

By clicking on "Choose layouts", you will see a new page listing all the kinds of pages available on your site (category, product, cart, ...). For each page, you can change the default layout.

For the default PrestaShop theme, "Classic", the available options are:

• Full width - No side columns, ideal for distraction-free pages such as product pages.
• Three Columns - One large central column and 2 side columns.
• Two Columns, small left column - Two columns with a small left column.
• Two Columns, small right column - Two columns with a small right column.

Click "Save" to keep your changes.

In case you want to revert your modifications and go back to the default settings, simply click the "Reset to defaults" button on the "Theme & Logo" page.

At the top right, the "Visit the theme catalog" opens a new page to the PrestaShop Addons marketplace, where you can find more themes.

Logos

Changing the logo for you shop is often one of the first steps when customizing your shop. You can change your shop's main logo, but not only, thanks to these three different tabs:

• Header logo. The logo that will appear on all the pages of your shop.
• Invoice & email logos. The logos that will respectively appear in your shop's email notifications, and its invoices.
• Icons. Your shop's favicon. This is the small image displayed at the left of the web browser's address bar and on the browser's tabs.

Select a theme for your "[name]" shop

This section is only displayed if you have at least two themes installed. It presents you with the other available themes on your PrestaShop installation beside the already-enabled one.

This section simply shows the thumbnails of the available themes, with their names.

Move your mouse cursor over the thumbnail to display a menu with two options:

• Use this theme. This will replace your current theme with this theme.
• Delete this theme. This will delete this theme's files from your web server.

By clicking "Discover" for a given theme, a new page from PrestaShop Addons will open, with more details are this specific theme.

Adding and exporting a theme

Two buttons at the top of the screen enable you to import a theme and install it (and its attached modules), or to export a theme and its modules from your shop in order to share it with the world.

Importing a theme: the "Add new theme" button

This screen presents you with 3 methods to install a new theme:

• from your computer,
• from a public website,
• from your own FTP server.

A final button leads you to the theme creation form, presented in the next section.

Whatever the method, the process remains the same: indicate the location of the theme's Zip archive, then click "Save". The only thing that changes is the source of the Zip file:

• Import from your computer. Use the file explorer to find the archive.
• Import from the web. Indicate the direct public URL to the archive.
• Import from FTP. Using your FTP client, upload the archive in the following folder: /themes/ .

Click "Save" to validate your choice. The theme is now installed, and PrestaShop asks you if you wish to install modules that were imported along with the theme, what you would rather do with the current modules configuration, and how you would like the images configuration to be taken into account.

Click "Save" one last time. A final confirmation page presents you with all the changes applied to your PrestaShop install. Click "Finish" to end the process.

Creating a brand new theme

The best way to create a new theme for PrestaShop is to copy the files from the default theme, and start modifying its TPL and CSS files to make them your own. The reason is that a PrestaShop theme requires many files to be present: by starting from an existing theme instead of from scratch, you make sure that your own theme will not be missing any part.

You can do this directly on the web server, but PrestaShop makes it easy to copy the files from an installed theme and register your new theme in its system (a step you would have to do in any case).

All of this is done by clicking on the "Create new theme" button from the "Add new theme" button at the top of the screen. It displays a creation form.

Fill-in its fields:

• Name of the theme. Make sure the name is not already used by another theme (check on the Addons website).
• Preview image for the theme. You should always add a preview image, as it is a clear reminder of what the theme looks like. If you do not have one yet, leave that for later, when the time will come to release the theme.
• Default left column and Default right column. Indicate if your theme has a column (or even two columns), and if so, on which side of the screen. This is purely informational and can be changed at any time.
• Number of products per page. Indicate the default number of products that should be shown on a page. This option can be adjusted later on.
• Name of the theme's directory. Try to keep it close to your theme's name. If you have not already created a theme folder, PrestaShop will create one for you.
• Copy missing files from existing theme. This is the cleanest method to start a new theme from another theme's files. Choose "default-bootstrap", or any other theme that you would like to base your foundation on.
• Responsive. Indicate if your theme has a responsive design or not (if you do not know what a responsive design is, then you probably should choose "No"). This is purely informational and can be changed at any time.

Click save, and PrestaShop will register this information for you: the theme is ready to be enabled, and its preview image appears in the theme selector.

It is now up to you to change your theme's files in order to make it unique! On your local installation (not a production one!), select your new theme, and start working!
Once you are done with your designing and code it, go back to this setting page and change it accordingly: definitive preview image, default column, number of products, and responsiveness.

Exporting a theme

This section is only available when there is at least one theme installed on your PrestaShop site. It gives you a method to export your module in the correct format (most notably with a working configuration file).

Exporting a theme is very useful when you want either to back the theme up for safety, and create an archive of the theme for a friend or in order to make it available on the Addons marketplace (http://addons.prestashop.com/). Not only does it generate a complete Zip archive of your theme, but it also adds much information in XML files, which is very useful both when uploading to Addons, and when importing to another PrestaShop site.

Select a theme and click on "Save". A configuration form appears where you can set the exported themes parameters: author name, modules to export along, theme name, version compatibility, etc.

Once all the parameters are correctly set, click on "Save". You will quickly get a file to download from your browser. Save it on your hard-drive, then give the saved file a proper name instead of the random one it currently has. From there on, you can easily share this theme, and if it is your own creation, you can start selling it on PrestaShop's Addons marketplace at http://addons.prestashop.com/.
