<title>Default themes</title>
<para>
Keycloak comes bundled with default themes in <literal>standalone/configuration/themes</literal>. It is
not recommended to edit these themes directly. Instead you should create a new theme to extend a default
theme. A good reference is to copy the keycloak themes as these extend the base theme to add styling.

<title>Full Example Templates</title>
<para>
Keycloak comes bundled with some default themes which you cannot view or modify. The distribution
also contains full example templates which you can edit directly if you're running the Keycloak appliance
distro, or which you can install, if you're using the WAR distro. The name of these full example themes
is <literal>template</literal> and they contain a complex example for generating all pages related
to login, error displaying, oauth grant pages, and user account management.
</para>
<para>
For the Keycloak Appliance Distro, these theme files are in the directories
<literal>${appliance-distro}/keycloak/standalone/configuration/themes/login/template</literal>
and <literal>${appliance-distro}/keycloak/standalone/configuration/themes/account/template</literal>.
For the WAR distro, there is a zip file in the examples directory called <literal>keycloak-example-themes-dist.zip</literal>
which you will need to unzip in the <literal>standalone/configuration</literal> or <literal>domain/configuration</literal>
directory if the JBoss or Wildfly instance you have deployed Keycloak server to.
