Milofow 3 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi, Since a couple of days I'm thinking about starting to mess around with the css for the web app of emby. Until I bumped into this ghithub: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-web-defaultskin. My first question is, is this about emby theater? and if so what do they mean by installing a plugin through url, because I couldn't find it. Second question is is It possible to also make a theme for the webapp or maybe another app(IOS)? Or is my only option to change the css inside the settings? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8140 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It is obsolete. It was back when theater was rather new. Now every thing is based off client/app uniformity. As for custom css it only applies to the web client, not online client or any other app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaj 239 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I just use a browser on my PC or phone to access Emby. I made a PWA on my PC and a full screen Home shortcut on my phone. As both are browser-based, they use CSS and your themes will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 this is fiddly and i will just give you the outline as i did this a few months back as a test and i might be missing a step or two but the current browser themes are in ..\dashboard-ui\modules\themes - which shows a list of sub dirs by theme name - each contain a theme.css and a theme.json both of which you can modify also in the modules directory you have skinmanager.js within this you can modify a few things to change themes also if you want to add your own theme then copy a theme folder - rename it to something else "mytheme" say then add that to the js file boot up emby and you will see it listed along with the others you might need to flush the cache - cant remember also you will have to do this on every server update and its only for the browser Note: Luke has a habit of changing things in these and other files on a whim as he has just done as a result of the new search page so be prepared for your changes to stop working at some point and have to figure out what changed Have fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
