Load a shared branding stylesheet globally so built-in and CodeCraftsmen themes display the appropriate navbar and homepage logos. Use fixed artwork for explicit light and dark themes while respecting the system preference for automatic themes. Centralize the logo overrides, remove duplicated theme-specific rules, and make the custom light and dark themes self-contained. Synchronize their palette variables with Gitea 1.27, including syntax, diff, priority, editor, console, workflow, transparency, and chart colors.
CodeCraftsmen Gitea Theme
Custom themes and branding for the CodeCraftsmen Gitea instance.
Compatibility
The theme supports Gitea 1.27.x. Each custom theme imports the matching built-in Gitea theme and overrides only the CodeCraftsmen palette, typography, and logo. This allows new upstream theme variables to retain their Gitea defaults.
The repository intentionally avoids overriding Gitea's internal templates. The navbar logo is replaced through theme CSS so Gitea template changes are applied normally during upgrades.
Installation
Copy public and templates into the instance's Gitea custom path, configure
the available themes, and restart Gitea:
[ui]
THEMES = gitea-auto,gitea-light,gitea-dark,codecraftsmen-auto,codecraftsmen-light,codecraftsmen-dark
DEFAULT_THEME = codecraftsmen-auto
The homelab repository vendors these files under
ansible/roles/gitea/files/theme so a Gitea rebuild does not depend on this
repository being available from the Gitea instance.
Upgrade Process
- Update the imported Gitea version locally.
- Compare the custom palette with the built-in light and dark themes for that exact release.
- Test anonymous, authenticated, and administrator pages with light, dark, and auto themes.
- Synchronize the reviewed files into the homelab Gitea role.
