Theme CSS file missing

0
Hi, I want to make some permanent changes to the CSS style of my web page and from what I've seen online I have to make the changes to the CSS file in the  "Myproject\Theme\Style" folder but in my project folder I can't find the Style folder within 'Theme'. Am I missing something here ?. I know I can make changes to the CSS file in the deployment folder but those changes are not permanent. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

Hi Sam,

 

You can use the following page to create a custom theme for your app: https://ux.mendix.com/theme-creator.html

 

Also I would recommend to adjust only Sass files and not the CSS files as they are generated from Sass files. On the UX site from mendix (link above) you can also find information about editing the CSS.

 

Good luck.

Hi Sam,

  Jeffrey's advice is good, and using your the theme creator will allow you to donwload a zip file that will update the look of your app.  However, you probably want to go further than this.  In the zip file that the theme creator produces is the complete folder structure of the Mendix theme folder for a complete styling package.  Unzipping this into your Theme folder would give you the files you need to manipulate as your 'default' theme.

  As Jeffrey recommends, don't edit the CSS directly but rather use the SASS files with a compiler to ensure your changes are saved and propagated.  Here is a great link explaining the SASS framework:

 Best,
