Overview

The Theme Manager interface allows you to to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes for the cPanel, Login, and Webmail interfaces. The theme contains many elements, such as HTML and CSS.

File dependencies

When you create your own themes or use a theme that cPanel, L.L.C. does not provide, you must ensure that the following files exist:

• /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/$theme/passwd/changepass.html

• /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/$theme/passwd/index.html

These files control interfaces that the system uses whenever you change a cPanel users password. If you do not copy or create these interfaces, users cannot change their passwords if the following conditions are true:

• You used WHMs Force Password Change interface (WHM » Home » Account Functions » Force Password Change) to require the user to change the accounts password.

• The users password is too old or too weak, as you defined in WHMs Configure Security Policies interface (WHM » Home » Security Center » Configure Security Policies).

Theme Manager

The Theme Manager interface allows you to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes for the following interfaces:

• Default cPanel Themes  When you click Customize Themes under Default cPanel Themes, the system directs you to WHMs Customization interface (WHM » Home » cPanel » Customization).

• cPanel  A theme for the cPanel interface. Click Manage Themes to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes.
