Theme Structure

Each theme is defined in a separate CSS file:

luci-theme-secubox/
└── htdocs/luci-static/resources/secubox-theme/
    └── themes/
        ├── dark.css
        ├── light.css
        ├── cyberpunk.css
        ├── ocean.css
        ├── sunset.css
        ├── forest.css
        ├── minimal.css
        └── contrast.css

Themes are activated via the data-secubox-theme attribute on <body> or <html>:

<body data-secubox-theme="cyberpunk">

Creating a Custom Theme

Step 1: Create Theme File

Create a new file in themes/ directory:

touch luci-theme-secubox/htdocs/luci-static/resources/secubox-theme/themes/mytheme.css

Step 2: Define Theme Styles

Use the following template:

/**
 * My Custom Theme
 * Description of your theme
 */

body[data-secubox-theme="mytheme"] {
	/* === BACKGROUND COLORS === */
	--cyber-bg-primary: #your-color;      /* Main background */
	--cyber-bg-secondary: #your-color;    /* Card backgrounds */
	--cyber-bg-tertiary: #your-color;     /* Hover states */

	/* === TEXT COLORS === */
	--cyber-text-primary: #your-color;    /* Headings, main text */
	--cyber-text-secondary: #your-color;  /* Subtitles, labels */
	--cyber-text-muted: #your-color;      /* Disabled, placeholders */
	--cyber-text-inverse: #your-color;    /* Text on dark backgrounds */

	/* === ACCENT COLORS === */
	--cyber-accent-primary: #your-color;  /* Primary actions, links */
	--cyber-accent-secondary: #your-color; /* Secondary highlights */

	/* === STATUS COLORS === */
	--cyber-success: #your-color;         /* Success messages */
	--cyber-warning: #your-color;         /* Warning messages */
	--cyber-danger: #your-color;          /* Error messages */
	--cyber-info: #your-color;            /* Info messages */

	/* === BORDER === */
	--cyber-border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);

	/* === GRADIENTS (Optional) === */
	--cyber-gradient-primary: linear-gradient(135deg, #color1, #color2);
	--cyber-gradient-secondary: linear-gradient(135deg, #color3, #color4);

	/* === BACKGROUND GRADIENT === */
	background: radial-gradient(
		circle at top right,
		rgba(your-r, your-g, your-b, 0.05),
		transparent 50%
	);

	/* Base text color */
	color: var(--cyber-text-primary);
}

/* Optional: Custom body background */
body[data-secubox-theme="mytheme"]::before {
	content: '';
	position: fixed;
	inset: 0;
	background: /* your custom background pattern */;
	opacity: 0.05;
	pointer-events: none;
	z-index: -1;
}

Step 3: Register Theme

Add your theme to the available themes list in theme.js:

// File: secubox-theme/theme.js
availableThemes: [
	'dark',
	'light',
	'cyberpunk',
	'ocean',
	'sunset',
	'forest',
	'minimal',
	'contrast',
	'mytheme'  // <-- Add your theme here
],

Step 4: Import Theme

Add the import to secubox-theme.css:

/* File: secubox-theme/secubox-theme.css */
@import url('./themes/mytheme.css');

Applying Themes

Method 1: JavaScript API

// Import theme controller
'require secubox-theme.theme as Theme';

// Apply theme
Theme.apply('cyberpunk');

// Save as user preference
Theme.setPreferredTheme('cyberpunk');

// Get current theme
var current = Theme.currentTheme;

Method 2: Manual HTML Attribute

<body data-secubox-theme="ocean">

Method 3: LocalStorage

Themes are persisted in localStorage:

localStorage.setItem('secubox.theme', 'sunset');

Theme Examples

Example 1: Midnight Blue Theme

body[data-secubox-theme="midnight"] {
	--cyber-bg-primary: #0d1117;
	--cyber-bg-secondary: #161b22;
	--cyber-bg-tertiary: #1f2937;

	--cyber-text-primary: #e6edf3;
	--cyber-text-secondary: #8b949e;
	--cyber-text-muted: #6e7681;

	--cyber-accent-primary: #58a6ff;
	--cyber-accent-secondary: #1f6feb;

	--cyber-success: #3fb950;
	--cyber-warning: #d29922;
	--cyber-danger: #f85149;
	--cyber-info: #58a6ff;

	--cyber-border: 1px solid #30363d;

	background: radial-gradient(
		circle at top right,
		rgba(88, 166, 255, 0.05),
		transparent 50%
	);

	color: var(--cyber-text-primary);
}

		rgba(234, 88, 12, 0.03)
	);

	color: var(--cyber-text-primary);
}

Best Practices

1. Color Contrast

Ensure WCAG AA compliance (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text):

/* Good */
--cyber-text-primary: #e6edf3;  /* on #0d1117 background = 12.3:1 */

/* Bad */
--cyber-text-primary: #6e7681;  /* on #0d1117 background = 2.8:1 */

2. Consistent Spacing

Use CSS variables for spacing:

padding: var(--cyber-spacing-md);
margin-bottom: var(--cyber-spacing-lg);

3. Smooth Transitions

Apply transitions to interactive elements:

.custom-button {
	transition: var(--cyber-transition);
}

4. Test in All Contexts

Test your theme in:

  • Dashboard
  • Forms
  • Tables
  • Modals
  • Charts
  • Mobile views

Troubleshooting

Theme Not Applying

  1. Check attribute: document.body.getAttribute('data-secubox-theme')
  2. Verify CSS import in secubox-theme.css
  3. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5)
  4. Check browser console for CSS errors

Colors Look Wrong

  1. Verify CSS variable names match exactly
  2. Check for conflicting CSS rules (use DevTools)
  3. Ensure proper color format (hex, rgb, rgba)

Theme Not Persisting

  1. Check localStorage: localStorage.getItem('secubox.theme')
  2. Verify theme name is in availableThemes array
  3. Check browser privacy settings (localStorage enabled)
