[[_migrate_themes]]
== Migrating themes
If you created custom themes, those themes must be migrated to the new server. Also, any changes to the built-in themes might need to be reflected in your custom themes, depending on which aspects you customized.
.Procedure
. Copy your custom themes from the old server `themes` directory to the new server `themes` directory.
. Use the following sections to migrate templates, messages, and styles.
* If you customized any of the updated templates listed in <<migration-changes,Migration Changes>>, compare the template from the base theme to check for any changes you need to apply.
* If you customized messages, you might need to change the key or value or to add additional messages.
* If you customized any styles and you are extending the {project_name} themes, review the changes to the styles. If you are extending the base theme, you can skip this step.
=== Migrating templates
If you customized any template, review the new version to decide about updating your customized template. If you made minor changes, you could compare the updated template to your customized template. However, if you made many changes, consider comparing the new template to your customized template. This comparison will show you what changes you need to make.
You can use a diff tool to compare the templates. The following screenshot compares the `info.ftl` template from the Login theme and an example custom theme:
.Updated version of a Login theme template versus a custom Login theme template
image:images/theme-migration-meld-info-1.png[Updated version of a Login theme template versus a custom Login theme template]
This comparison shows that the first change (`Hello world!!`) is a customization, while the
second change (`if pageRedirectUri`) is a change to the base theme. By copying the second change to your custom template,
you have successfully updated your customized template.
In an alternative approach, the following screenshot compares the `info.ftl` template from the old installation with
the updated `info.ftl` template from the new installation:
.Login theme template from the old installation versus the updated Login theme template
image:images/theme-migration-meld-info-2.png[Login theme template from the old installation versus the updated Login theme template]
This comparison shows what has been changed in the base template. You can then manually make the same changes to your modified template. Since this approach is more complex, use
this approach only if the first approach is not feasible.
=== Migrating messages
If you added support for another language, you need to apply all the changes listed above. If you have not added
support for another language, you might not need to change anything. You need to make changes only if you have changed
an affected message in your theme.
.Procedure
. For added values, review the value of the message in the base theme to determine if you need to customize that message.
. For renamed keys, rename the key in your custom theme.
. For changed values, check the value in the base theme to determine if you need to make changes to your custom theme.
=== Migrating styles
You might need to update your custom styles to reflect changes made to the styles from the built-in themes. Consider using a diff tool to compare the changes to stylesheets between the old server installation and the new server installation.
For example:
[source,bash,subs=+attributes]
----
$ diff {project_dirref}_OLD/themes/keycloak/login/resources/css/login.css \
{project_dirref}_NEW/themes/keycloak/login/resources/css/login.css
----
Review the changes and determine if they affect your custom styling.
