<title>Themes</title>
<para>
Keycloak provides theme support for login forms and account management. This allows customizing the look
and feel of end-user facing pages so they can be integrated with your brand and applications.
</para>
<section>
<title>Configure theme</title>
<para>
To configure the theme used by a realm open the <literal>Keycloak Admin Console</literal>, select your realm
from the drop-down box in the top left corner. In the <literal>Optional Settings</literal> use the drop-down
boxes for <literal>Login Theme</literal> and <literal>Account Theme</literal> to select the theme used
by login forms and account management pages.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Creating a theme</title>
<para>
There are two types of themes in Keycloak, login and account. Login themes are used to customize the
login forms, while account themes are used to customize account management. A theme consists of:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>FreeMarker templates</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Stylesheets</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Scripts</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Images</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Message bundles</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Theme properties</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
A theme can extend another theme. When extending a theme you can override individual files (templates, stylesheets, etc.).
The recommended way to create a theme is to extend the base theme. The base theme provides templates
and a default message bundle. It should be possible to achieve the customization required by styling these
templates.
</para>
<para>
To create a new theme, create a folder in <literal>.../standalone/configuration/themes/login</literal> or
<literal>.../standalone/configuration/themes/account</literal>. The name of the folder is the name of the theme.
Then create a file <literal>theme.properties</literal> inside the theme folder. The contents of the file should be:
</para>
<programlisting>parent=base</programlisting>
<para>
You have now created your theme. Check that it works by configuring it for a realm. It should look the same
as the base theme as you've not added anything to it yet. The next sections will describe how to modify
the theme.</para>
<section>
<title>Stylesheets</title>
<para>
A theme can have one or more stylesheets, to add a stylesheet create a file inside <literal>resources/css</literal> (for example <literal>resources/css/styles.css</literal>)
inside your theme folder. Then registering it in <literal>theme.properties</literal> by adding:
</para>
<programlisting>styles=css/styles.css</programlisting>
<para>
The <literal>styles</literal> property supports a space separated list so you can add as many
as you want. For example:
</para>
<programlisting>styles=css/styles.css css/more-styles.css</programlisting>
</section>
<section>
<para>
A theme can have one or more scripts, to add a script create a file inside <literal>resources/js</literal> (for example <literal>resources/js/script.js</literal>)
inside your theme folder. Then registering it in <literal>theme.properties</literal> by adding:
</para>
<programlisting>scripts=js/script.js</programlisting>
<para>
The <literal>scripts</literal> property supports a space separated list so you can add as many
as you want. For example:
</para>
<programlisting>scripts=js/script.js js/more-script.js</programlisting>
</section>
<section>
<title>Images</title>
<para>
To make images available to the theme add them to <literal>resources/img</literal>. They can then be used
through stylesheets. For example:
</para>
<programlisting>body {
background-image: url('../img/image.jpg');
}</programlisting>
<para>
Or in templates, for example:
</para>
<programlisting>&lt;img src="${url.resourcesPath}/img/image.jpg"&gt;</programlisting>
</section>
<section>
<title>Messages</title>
<para>
Text in the templates are loaded from message bundles. Currently internationalization isn't supported,
but that will be added in a later release. A theme that extends another theme will inherit all messages
from the parents message bundle, but can override individual messages. For example to replace
<literal>Username</literal> on the login form with <literal>Your Username</literal> create the file
<literal>messages/messages.properties</literal> inside your theme folder and add the following content:
</para>
<programlisting>username=Your Username</programlisting>
</section>
<section>
<title>Templates</title>
<para>
For advanced use-cases where you need to modify the html structure it is also possible to override
one or more of the templates. For example to override the login page create <literal>login.ftl</literal>
inside your theme folder. The base templates all use <literal>template.ftl</literal> to create the
basic structure of the page.
</para>
<para>
The base templates are a good reference if you need to create your own templates, they can be
found inside <literal>forms/common-themes/src/main/resources/theme</literal> on GitHub or in the source
download.

<title>SPI</title>
<para>
For full control of login forms and account management Keycloak provides a number of SPIs.
</para>
<section>
<title>Theme SPI</title>
<para>
The Theme SPI allows creating different mechanisms to providing themes for the default FreeMarker based
implementations of login forms and account management. To create a theme provider you will need to implement
<literal>org.keycloak.freemarker.ThemeProvider</literal> and <literal>org.keycloak.freemarker.Theme</literal> in
<literal>forms/common-freemarker</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Keycloak comes with two theme providers, one that loads themes from the classpath (used by default themes)
and another that loads themes from a folder (used by custom themes). Looking at these
would be a good place to start to create your own theme provider. You can find them inside
<literal>forms/common-themes</literal> on GitHub or the source download.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Account SPI</title>
<para>
The Account SPI allows implementing the account management pages using whatever web framework or templating
engine you want. To create an Account provider implement <literal>org.keycloak.account.AccountProvider</literal>
and <literal>org.keycloak.account.Account</literal> in <literal>forms/account-api</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Keycloaks default account management provider is built on the FreeMarker template engine (<literal>forms/account-freemarker</literal>).
To make sure your provider is loaded you will either need to delete <literal>standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/lib/keycloak-account-freemarker-1.0-alpha-1.jar</literal>
or disable it with the system property <literal>org.keycloak.account.freemarker.FreeMarkerAccountProvider</literal>.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Login SPI</title>
<para>
The Login SPI allows implementing the login forms using whatever web framework or templating
engine you want. To create a Login forms provider implement <literal>org.keycloak.login.LoginFormsProvider</literal>
and <literal>org.keycloak.login.LoginForms</literal> in <literal>forms/login-api</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Keycloaks default login forms provider is built on the FreeMarker template engine (<literal>forms/login-freemarker</literal>).
To make sure your provider is loaded you will either need to delete <literal>standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/lib/keycloak-login-freemarker-1.0-alpha-1.jar</literal>
or disable it with the system property <literal>org.keycloak.login.freemarker.FreeMarkerLoginFormsProvider</literal>.

mvn exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dimport=testrealm.json
### Live edit of html and styles
The Keycloak test server can load resources directly from the filesystem instead of the classpath. This allows editing html, styles and updating images without restarting the server. To make the server use resources from the filesystem start with:
mvn exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dresources
You can also specify the theme directory used by the server with:
mvn exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dkeycloak.theme.dir=<PATH TO THEMES DIR>
For example to use the example themes run the server with:
mvn exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dkeycloak.theme.dir=examples/themes
**NOTE:** If `keycloak.theme.dir` is specified the default themes (base, rcue and keycloak) are loaded from the classpath
