You can customize a Magento 2 theme yourself | Step by step tutorial by Venustheme
View Detail
Before we start, I’d like to say that to customized Magento theme is never easy, especially for Magento 2 beginner. As the process relates to a lot of code knowledge, you should follow the guide about Magento Theme Customization step by step to reach the best customization.
My tutorial is divided into 3 main parts as follow:
- What should be prepared to customize a theme?
- Create a theme directory (folder and file)
- Configure theme in Magento 2 admin
I. What should be prepared to Customized Magento Theme?
The answer is a local host containing Magento 2 with accessible frontend and backend. You can get a Magento host from Magento providers such as Cloudways here
II. Create a theme directory (Folders and Files)
Files and folders need to be prepared:
1. Folder contains theme <vendor_theme>
E.g. name “Venustheme”
2. Sample folder contains files and functional folders <theme>
Inside “Venustheme”, create a new one name “Sample”
3. File theme <theme.xml>

<parent>Magento/luma</parent>
<media>

</media>
</theme>
4. Registration file theme <registration.php>

\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::r egister(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::T HEME,
'frontend/Venustheme/your_theme_name',
__DIR__
);
5. Composer <composer.json>
{
"name": "magento/sample-module-theme",
"description": "N/A",
"require": {
"php": "~5.5.0|~5.6.0|~7.0.0",
"magento/theme-frontend-luma": "~100.0",
"magento/framework": "~100.0"
},
"type": "magento2-theme",
"version": "1.0.0",
"license": [
"OSL-3.0",

],
"autoload": {
"files": [ "registration.php" ]
}
}
6. Media <media> folder
Place an image name “preview.jpg”
7. Web <web> folder
Inside web folder:
– Create “css” folder

III. Set up theme
1. Admin Panel > Content > Themes
Make sure that the Sample theme is already updated and shown in the system
2. Admin Panel > Content > Configuration (under Design)
In the table, you will see a table of design configuration, click on edit button in the last column.
Then, choose your theme at the content tab and save config.
3. Clear Cache to reload static files (Ctrl + F5) and see change on theme in the frontend.
