## Installation
To install PyTheme, follow these simple steps:
1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Create a virtual environment for your project (optional but recommended).
3. Activate the virtual environment.
4. Run the following command:
“`bash
pip install pytheme
“`
## Getting Started
To begin working with PyTheme, you need to import the library and create a new theme object. Follow these steps:
1. Import the PyTheme library in your Python file:
“`python
from pytheme import Theme
“`
2. Create a new theme object:
“`python
theme = Theme()
“`
## Customizing Themes
PyTheme provides a wide range of options to customize your themes. Here are some of the most common customization tasks you can perform:
### Changing Colors
You can easily change the colors of various elements in your theme using the `set_color()` method. This method accepts a CSS selector and a color value. For example:
“`python
theme.set_color(‘.header’, ‘#FF0000’)
“`
### Modifying Fonts
To change the font styles of different elements, you can use the `set_font()` method. This method takes a CSS selector and a font value. For example:
“`python
theme.set_font(‘.body’, ‘Arial, sans-serif’)
“`
### Adjusting Layout
PyTheme allows you to adjust the layout of your theme by modifying the margins and paddings of elements. You can use the `set_margin()` and `set_padding()` methods for this purpose. For example:
“`python
theme.set_margin(‘.container’, ’10px’)
theme.set_padding(‘.menu’, ’20px’)
“`
### Adding Background Images
You can enhance the visual appeal of your theme by adding background images to elements. PyTheme provides the `set_background_image()` method for this task. For example:
“`python
theme.set_background_image(‘.hero-section’, ‘path/to/image.jpg’)
“`
## Applying Themes to Web Applications
Once you have customized your theme, you can apply it to your web application. PyTheme offers different ways to integrate themes into your projects:
### Flask Integration
If you are using the Flask web framework, you can apply your theme to your Flask application by using the `apply()` method. Follow these steps:
1. Import the Flask module:
“`python
from flask import Flask
“`
2. Create a new Flask application:
“`python
app = Flask(__name__)
“`
3. Apply the theme to your Flask app:
“`python
theme.apply(app)
“`
### Django Integration
For Django-based applications, PyTheme provides a middleware that allows you to apply your theme. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open your `settings.py` file in your Django project.
2. Add the following line to the `MIDDLEWARE` list:
“`python
‘myapp.middleware.PyThemeMiddleware’,
“`
3. Run your Django application, and your theme will be automatically applied.
