I’m currently self-hosting Taiga in a Docker container (from the official Taiga GitHub), and I am wanting to create a dark mode theme for my team to use. I can’t seem to find anything about how to do that, and we are having trouble finding how exactly to make those changes. Any information about this would help! Thanks!

Hi there!

First of all, you would need to compile taiga-front with your theme. You can find more info [here](https://community.taiga.io/t/in-self-hosted-where-should-i-put-the-scss-file-for-the-theme/3277/3).

Then, since you are using docker, you need to rebuild the image with your code and theme and use that instead, like mentioned [here](https://community.taiga.io/t/how-can-i-edit-the-frontend-and-backend-of-taiga-docker/2166).

Hope this helps!

Best regards!
