I'm beginning with Magento and it's incredible that create a theme is so complicated...

I've understand that to add my css to the head I need to override a layout. So I override default_head_blocks.xml with this content :

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>    
        <!-- Add your own CSS files -->
        <css src="css/styles.css" />
    </head>
</page>

But this not works. Also after : - ./bin/magento setup:upgrade - ./bin/magento cache:flush && ./bin/magento cache:clean

Structure of my theme : structure

  • The theme directory name should be lowercase - vehicules. I'm not sure if this is required or just a convention but try changing that.

  • I changed the theme directory name, remove the old and flush and it appears in admin > content > design > theme. But when in my css i try to style a template from a custom module it doesn't works...

I found the solution to activate the theme :

I managed to change the theme if you change the setting as single shop.

Store > Configuration > General > General > Single-Store Mode > YES

content > Configuration > Edit Default theme > Smartwave Porto

You can add a "_extend.less" file to –

/app/design/frontend/Test/Vehicules/Magento_Theme/web/css/source

  • Make sure the files name is exactly written as seen above. You can use this file as a standard CSS file but with additional LESS functionality. Naming your files is very important if you work with parent/child themes.
  • Clean cache

  • And all less files will be loaded ? And then when I change something in the Less file I just need to clean caches ? because from now I was using gulp to compile less filles in put in the source folder to made compressed versions in css folder :)

  • All I do after doing changes in the LESS file is: php_cli bin/magento setup:upgrade and reload the page. I'm not an expert but I guess there is also an easier way to do it.
