    Default Custom Theme Development In Magento 2

    In the first part of this theme development series I explained the functioning of Magento folder structure work for themes. Now, this is the last part of the series and in this part, I am going to depict how to make the theme pages and give shape to the entire theme with styling.

    Configure Image Properties in Your Theme

    For configuration of catalog image sizes and other images, you need view.xml. This file is required for the theme if the product image sizes of your custom theme are different from the parent theme sizes. The view.xml file configures all storefront product image sizes. For example, you make the category grid view product images by specifying size of 350 x 350 pixels. Copy the view.xml file from the etc. directory of your parent theme to your theme’s etc directory and here is how the corresponding configuration would look like:

    <image id="category_page_grid" type="small_image">
    <width>350</width>
    <height>350</height>
    </image>

    Prerequisites

    For the sake of compatibility, upgradability, and easy maintenance, do not modify the out of the box Magento themes. To customize the design of your Magento store, create a new custom theme.
    Set your Magento application to the developer mode. The application mode influences the way static files are cached by Magento. The recommendations about theme development we provide in this chapter are developer/default-mode specific.

    Create a theme directory

    To create the directory for your theme:

    Go to <your Magento install dir>/app/design/frontend.

    Create a new directory named according to your vendor name: /app/design/frontend/<Vendor>.

    Under the vendor directory, create a directory named according to your theme.

    app/design/frontend/
    ├── <Vendor>/
    │ │ ├──...<theme>/
    │ │ │ ├── ...
    │ │ │ ├── ...
    The folder name conventionally matches naming used in the theme’s code: any alphanumeric set of characters, as the vendor sees fit, is acceptable. This convention is merely a recommendation, so nothing prevents naming this directory in another way.
    Declare your theme

    After you create a directory for your theme, you must create theme.xml containing at least the theme name and the parent theme name (if the theme inherits from one). Optionally you can specify where the theme preview image is stored.

    Add or copy from an existing theme.xml to your theme directory
    app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<theme>
    Configure it using the following example:

    <theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framewo rk:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>New theme</title> <!-- your theme's name -->
    <parent>Magento/blank</parent> <!-- the parent theme, in case your theme inherits from an existing theme -->
    <media>
    <preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image> <!-- the path to your theme's preview image -->
    </media>
    </theme>
    Make your theme a Composer package (optional)

    Magento default themes are distributed as Composer packages.

    To distribute your theme as a package, add a composer.json file to the theme directory and register the package on a packaging server. A default public packaging server is https://packagist.org/.

    composer.json provides theme dependency information.

    Example of a theme composer.json:

    {
    "name": "magento/theme-frontend-luma",
    "description": "N/A",
    "require": {
    "php": "~5.5.0|~5.6.0|~7.0.0",
    "magento/theme-frontend-blank": "100.0.*",
    "magento/framework": "100.0.*"
    },
    "type": "magento2-theme",
    "version": "100.0.1",
    "license": [
    "OSL-3.0",
    "AFL-3.0"
    ],
    "autoload": {
    "files": [
    "registration.php"
    ]
    }
    }
    You can find details about the Composer integration in the Magento system in Composer integration.
    Add registration.php

    To register your theme in the system, in your theme directory add a registration.php file with the following content:

    <?php
    /**
    * Copyright © 2015 Magento. All rights reserved.
    * See COPYING.txt for license details.
    */
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::r egister(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::T HEME,
    'frontend/<Vendor>/<theme>',
    __DIR__
    );
    Where <Vendor> is your vendor name, <theme> is the theme code.

    For illustration, see the registration.php file of the Magento Luma theme.
    Configure images

    Product image sizes and other properties used on the storefront are configured in a view.xml configuration file. It is required for a theme, but is optional if exists in the parent theme.

    If the product image sizes of your theme differ from those of the parent theme, or if your theme does not inherit from any theme, add view.xml using the following steps:

    Log in to your Magento server as a user with permissions to create directories and files in the Magento installation directory. (Typically, this is the the Magento file system owner.)

    Create the etc directory in your theme folder

    Copy view.xml from the etc directory of an existing theme (for example, from the Blank theme) to your theme’s etc directory.

    Configure all storefront product image sizes in view.xml. For example, you can make the category grid view product images square by specifying a size of 250 x 250 pixels, here is how the corresponding configuration would look like:

    ...
    <image id="category_page_grid" type="small_image">
    <width>250</width>
    <height>250</height>
    </image>
    ...

    For details about images configuration in view.xml, see the Configure images properties for a theme topic.
    Create directories for static files

    Your theme will likely contain several types of static files: styles, fonts, JavaScript and images. Each type should be stored in a separate sub-directory of web in your theme folder:

    app/design/<area>/<Vendor>/<theme>/
    ├── web/
    │ ├── css/
    │ │ ├── source/
    │ ├── fonts/
    │ ├── images/
    │ ├── js/
    In the .../<theme>/web/images you store the general theme related static files. For example, a theme logo is stored in ...<theme>/web/images. It is likely that your theme will also contain module-specific files, which are stored in the corresponding sub-directories, like .../<theme>/<Namespace_Module>/web/css and similar. Managing the module-specific theme files is discussed in the following sections of this Guide.

    During theme development, when you change any files stored here, you need to clear pub/static and var/view_preprocessed directories, and then reload the pages. Otherwise the old versions of files are displayed on the storefront.
    Your theme directory structure now

    At this point your theme file structure looks as follows:

    app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/
    ├── <theme>/
    │ ├── etc/
    │ │ ├── view.xml
    │ ├── web/
    │ │ ├── images
    │ │ │ ├── logo.svg
    │ ├── registration.php
    │ ├── theme.xml
    │ ├── composer.json
    Theme logo

    In the Magento application, the default format and name of a logo image is logo.svg. When you put a logo.svg image in the conventional location, which is <theme_dir>/web/images directory, it is automatically recognized as theme logo. It is displayed in your store page header once the theme is applied.

    In your custom theme, you can use a logo file with a different name and format, but you might need to declare it.

    The necessity of declaration depends on whether your theme has a parent theme and its logo image. The following cases are possible:

    Your theme does not have a parent theme:
    if your logo image name and format is default, logo.svg, there is no need to declare it;
    if your logo image name or format is not default, you need to declare it in layout.
    Your theme has a parent theme:
    if your theme logo image has the same name and format as the parent's theme logo, there is no need to declare it;
    if your logo image has different name or format, declare it in layout.

    Declaring theme logo


    To declare a theme logo, add an extending <theme_dir>/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml layout.

    For example, if your logo file is my_logo.png sized 300x300px, you need to declare it as follows:

    <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framewo rk:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
    <referenceBlock name="logo">
    <arguments>
    <argument name="logo_file" xsi:type="string">images/my_logo.png</argument>
    <argument name="logo_img_width" xsi:type="number">300</argument>
    <argument name="logo_img_height" xsi:type="number">300</argument>
    </arguments>
    </referenceBlock>
    </body>
    </page>
    Declaring the logo size is optional.

    To learn more about theme layouts, refer to the Layout section of this guide.
    What’s next

    See the Apply and configure a theme in Admin topic.
    Uninstall a theme

    If your theme is a composer package, you can uninstall it using the theme uninstall CLI command.

    If your theme is not a Composer package, you must uninstall it manually by doing the following:

    Update the parent node information in child’s theme.xml to remove references to the theme.

    Remove theme code from the file system.

    A theme is the most important part of any online store. If the theme of your store is not up to the mark and fails to create an attractive outlook, there’s a fairly high chance, that your customers won’t incline towards coming back. To create a custom theme in Magento 2, follow these steps:

    1. Create directories:

    2. Declaration of Theme

    3. Registration of Theme

    4. Upload Theme Preview Image

    5. Declaration of Theme Logo

    6. Upload Theme Logo

    7. Apply Your Theme

    8. Run Commands

    Here's a simple guide on it: How to Create a Custom Theme in Magento 2

    As we know, Magento comes with a default theme. Hence, the most important step in any Magento customization is design changes (both CSS and HTML Changes). Also, Minor text add/edits, layout changes, and other changes are usually required.

    The Magento system consists of layout XML files, CSS files, and PHTML files. In a specific PHP application, we have HTML/PHP and CSS files where we create/edit the design/layout of the website. But in case of Magento, we have .PHTML files to do the job HTML files.

    Hence, Magento follows MVC architecture and .PHTML file do the job of VIEW.

    The abnormal state steps required to include another topic in the Magento framework are the accompanying: Create an index for the topic under application/structure/frontend/<your_vendor_name>/<your_theme_name> . Include an assertion document theme.xml and alternatively make and so forth index and make a record named view.xml to the topic catalog.
