How to add a theme

Okay, now that I’ve thoroughly humiliated myself by asking about
RTx-Shredder, another question: How can I add a theme to the Theme
pull-down list in the General section of Preferences? I created a
custom theme and put it in a directory in ./local/html/NoAuth/css, and I
can set WebDefaultStylesheet to the name of the theme directory, and
that works. But it doesn’t show up in the theme pull-down. The only
place I can find the themes hard-coded is in lib/RT/Config.pm, in the
WidgetArguments->Values metadata for WebDefaultStylesheet. I tried
creating my own Config_Local.pm and overriding LoadConfigs and altering
the metadata there, but that didn’t work. Thanks.

It’s hardcoded in lib/RT/Config.pm. We’re happy to apply patch that
builds list of themes from disk.On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 11:31 PM, Karl Boyken boyken@divms.uiowa.edu wrote:
