Customizing Tiki Themes

Because the Tiki separates the application logic (the PHP files) from the presentation layer (the Smarty TPL files), it is very easy to customize the look and feel of your Tiki site. The Tiki Themes website contains many different themes (or skins) to choose from, but you can easily create your own and customize the look of your Tiki.

Tip: If you are new to Tiki, start with "Customizing Tiki Styles" in Tiki for Dummies Smarties.

The Tiki Themes site has an extensive list of Template Tricks that can help you customize your theme. See http://themes.tiki.org/Template+Tricks for details.
