The  theme used to style this starter provides the following files:<LIBRARY_ROOT># This exists in ENV: LIB/admin_soft||--templates/# Root Templates Folder||||--accounts/|||--login.html# Sign IN Page|||--register.html# Sign UP Page||||--includes/|||--footer.html# Footer component|||--sidebar.html# Sidebar component|||--navigation.html# Navigation Bar|||--scripts.html# Scripts Component||||--layouts/|||--base.html# Masterpage|||--base-fullscreen.html# Masterpage for Auth Pages||||--pages/||--index.html# Dashboard page||--profile.html# Settings  Page||--*.html# All other pages||--************************************************************************When the project requires customization, we need to copy the original file that needs an update (from the virtual environment) and place it in the template folder using the same path.For instance, if we want to customize thefooter.htmlthese are the steps:Step 1: create thetemplatesDIRECTORY inside your appStep 2: configure the project to use this new template directoryEditsettings.pyTEMPLATES sectionStep 3: copy thefooter.htmlfrom the original location (inside your ENV) and save it to theYOUR_APP/templatesDIRSource PATH:<YOUR_ENV>/LIB/admin_soft/includes/footer.htmlDestination PATH:YOUR_APP/templates/includes/footer.htmlEdit the footer (Destination PATH)At this point, the default version of thefooter.htmlshipped in the library is ignored by Django.In a similar way, all other files and components can be customized easily.Recompile SCSSThe SCSS/CSS files used to style the Ui are saved in thestaticdirectory.
In order to update the Ui colors (primary, secondary) this procedure needs to be followed.$yarn# install modules$viadmin_soft/static/scss/soft-ui-dashboard/_variables.scss# edit variables$gulp# SCSS to CSS translationThe_variables.scsscontent defines theprimaryandsecondarycolors:$primary:#cb0c9f!default;// EDIT for customization$secondary:#8392AB!default;// EDIT for customization$info:#17c1e8!default;// EDIT for customization$success:#82d616!default;// EDIT for customization$warning:#fbcf33!default;// EDIT for customization$danger:#ea0606!default;// EDIT for customizationPRO VersionThis design is a pixel-perfectBootstrap 5Dashboard with a fresh, new design concept.Soft UI Dashboard PROis built with over 300 frontend individual elements, like buttons, inputs, navbars, nav tabs, cards, or alerts, giving you the freedom of choosing and combining.Features:Up-to-date DependenciesDesign:Django Theme Soft PRO-PRO VersionSectionscovered by the design:Admin section(reserved for superusers)Authentication:Django.contrib.AUTH, RegistrationAll Pagesavailable in for ordinary usersDocker,Deployment:CI/CDflow viaRenderDjango Admin Soft- Modern Admin Interface provided byAppSeed
