Themes

Themes change the visual appearance of your Chyrp installation. They use the very powerful Twig templating engine, custom-built for Chyrp.

Themes can not act like Modules or Feathers by responding to Triggers, and can not execute any PHP code. They can, however, call functions from within the Twig engine.

Theme structure

The common structure of a theme is:

• stardust [the main theme folder]
