SUPPORT & FAQ
LXBG themes FAQ
How do I install a theme?
Sign in as a real administrator on a compatible LXBG 2.0 installation. Open Theme Manager → Install own theme, upload the FREE ZIP, inspect it, then install. Activate it in a separate step. Public demo visitors have preview-only access.
Do the themes work with LXBG 1.x?
These packages use LXBG Theme Format 1 for the developing 2.0 Theme Manager. They are not universal templates for legacy LXBG 1.x installations. A complete independent customer deployment of 2.0 has not yet been released.
Can I install a Joomla template?
No. LXBG follows a modular approach, but uses its own theme.json format and exact safe CSS color tokens. Joomla PHP templates and templateDetails.xml are not compatible.
How can I build my own theme?
Use the Theme Builder on the demo (real admin access required), or download a FREE ZIP as a starter. Edit name, unique ID, author, description and the six HEX colors. Keep theme.json and theme.css exactly in sync and package files at the root of the ZIP.
Which files are allowed?
Required: theme.json and theme.css. Optional: README.md. No subfolders, PHP, JavaScript, foreign images, @import rules, url() calls or extra CSS declarations. Maximum ZIP size: 1 MB.
How do I buy premium themes?
Midnight and Royal are concept previews only. No payments are accepted and no release date is promised. Prices and licensing will be announced when the themes are ready.
Can I remove my own theme?
Yes. Custom FREE themes can be removed with confirmation in Theme Manager. Built-in themes and the active or rollback theme are protected.
Can I create layouts, widgets or PHP templates?
Not yet with Theme Format 1: it intentionally supports only six validated color values. Layout slots, child themes and extensible templates are planned for later stages.
