Making my own theme?

[Steve]

Hey,

How difficult is it to customize/make a custom theme? (with knowledge of HTML/CSS and a little PHP). And does using the layout from the default theme vs making my own layout make a difference?

Thanks!

I would use the layout from the default theme as a base, then work from there. Starting from scratch is going to kill you because there is so much javascript and smarty you would need to learn to make a theme from scratch.

I have a small article on how to compile with our theme, so you can make changes in the scss files and then compile them into your own css files. https://thirtybees.com/developer-blog/editing-theme-css-linux/
