Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of finalizing the changes and edits to my self hosted taiga installation that uses docker upon DigitalOcean.

I need to create a new theme so I can alter the styling across the site, mainly colouring, but I keep getting lost through the forums and AI therefor confusing myself with it all. If anyone knows how I can create a new theme and apply my own styles to it, that would be greatly appreciated.

PS. don’t just reply saying no one knows how to or don’t bother

Have you tried what’s written here : [How do I add a custom Taiga theme in a self-hosted Docker container? - Troubleshooting - Taiga Community](https://community.taiga.io/t/how-do-i-add-a-custom-taiga-theme-in-a-self-hosted-docker-container/3355) and here [How can I edit the frontend and backend of taiga-docker? - Troubleshooting / Self hosted Taiga - Taiga Community](https://community.taiga.io/t/how-can-i-edit-the-frontend-and-backend-of-taiga-docker/2166/2). Hope this help.

I did manage to create a theme using taiga from source code, haven’t tried with a docker installation which seems to be a bit harder, can’t help you more.
