Theme Generator was meant to offer the ability to online customise the css of themes directly from the admin panel. Sadly this feature never was considered to work with Twitter Bootstrap and thus is not working from Tiki13. We desided to kill it and removed the code before the Tiki15 release. Killed, gone but not forgotten. It was a nice feature with our old classic Tiki theme system. Thx to Jonny for coding and thx for killing it whilst tidying up Tiki at the [http://tiki.org/TikiFestFosdem2016|TikiFestFosdem2016].

**Please use the new ((Customization|'Custom Less preference')) instead.**{REMARKSBOX}

# Theme Generator


The goal of this feature is to make it easier to make a custom theme without special training and special software. All point & click, in the browser.
