Themes
This theme does not only change the styling but adds also extra options. Options like webcam preview in the dashboard, combining different sensors in one block, data visualization/graph for certain items. They get complete charts for the past 24 hours. and you can customize it in settings.
Installation is very simple, fire the command below and after that, you can select the Aurora theme from settings.
1 2 3 | cd domoticz/www/styles git clone https://github.com/flatsiedatsie/domoticz-aurora-theme.git aurora sudo /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh restart |
If you want to follow the changes you can check out the discussion topic of aurora here.
Icons
Domoticz Icons can only be changes for switches with the custom icon functionality. Not for dimmers at the moment.
When editing a switch you can choose from a list with default Icons. But with the custom Icons, you can upload new ones that will be available in the default list after uploading. And If you combine custom Icons with other themes the interface of Domoticz can be changed to your needs. The machinon theme includes already a bunch of new icons (and I love them).
Adding Custom Domoticz Icons
Add a custom Icon is simple and upload a ZIP file that contains the icons and a description of the content of the zip.
A Zip file must contain the following files:
- Domoticz.png
- Domoticz48_On.png
- Domoticz48_Off.png
- icons.txt
Domoticz is the name of the switch, 48 is the resolution (48×48) _On is for on and _Off is for off.
In this example, you see the files names with 48_On But you don’t do that in the icons.txt.
Icons.txt is the index of the zipfile and will tell Domoticz which icons are in it and it’s structured like: Domoticz;Domoticz;Domoticz Logo
The zip can contain more than one icon, for every icon, there must be 3 picture files and one line in the icons.txt. This is an example of the icons.txt for multiple icons:
Fan;Fan;Airflow Producer Speaker;Speaker;Audio Speaker Generic;Generic;Generic On/Off switch Fireplace;Fireplace;Fireplace
Create Icon.Zip file from a website
- On http://domoticz-icon.aurelien-loyer.fr/
- Enter the name of the switch.
- Choose 2 pictures. one for On and one for Off.
- Check examples (how does Domoticz show them in the default theme)
- and click generate ZIP (the green button)
Uploading a ZIP containing custom icon(s)
