Apply a Custom Theme to an App on a Server

If you want to apply a custom theme, you have to build the theme locally on your computer as described in the previous topic - Set up a Custom Theme.

When you are done creating the theme, you have to zip all five files in the theme folder.

After importing the theme, it should now be applicable just like on a local app.

Remember, that themes can only be changed in non-published apps. Therefore, if you want to change the theme in an already published app, make a DEV copy of the app in your own workspace on the server and then republish it, after having applied the new theme.
