Creating a New ThemeBuilder Project
The ThemeBuilder application allows you to create two main types of projects: blank projects and projects that use Kendo themes.
When you use a Kendo theme, you can customize it and see your changes applied in real-time to the appearance of the Telerik and Kendo UI components in ThemeBuilder. On the other hand, a blank project allows you to develop a theme for your own custom components from the ground up.
Creating Kendo Projects
To create a project using on of the Telerik and Kendo UI themes:
-
Navigate to the ThemeBuilder app.
-
Enter the credentials for your Telerik account and log in.
-
Click the Create New Project button.
-
Select the Start from Kendo Theme tab.
-
Enter a name for the project.
-
Select the Project Icons type (SVG or Font icons) and the desired theme version.
-
Choose which theme to use (Default, Bootstrap, Material, Fluent, or Classic)—this applies the theme-specific styles to the UI components in ThemeBuilder.
-
Finally, click Create New Project.
Creating Blank Projects
To create a new blank ThemeBuilder project:
-
Navigate to the ThemeBuilder app.
-
Enter the credentials for your Telerik account and log in.
-
Click the Create New Project button.
-
Select the Start from scratch tab.
-
Enter a name for your project and then select Blank or Sample. Unlike the blank project type, the sample project contains pre-built components and styles that will help you understand the basic ThemeBuilder concepts.
-
Finally, click Create New Project.
