the theme generated by <em>Blade</em>, this is just a difference by
template which is generated because comes from <em>Blade
Template</em> and other come from a <em>Yeoman Template</em>, one has
dependencies on build.gradle and the other has the package.json. But
the result finally after generating a war file it’s the same for both.</p>Roselaine Marques2021-02-16T15:40:12ZRE: RE: What is the correct way to create a liferay theme?Uwe Petershttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1206166172021-02-16T14:20:22Z2021-02-16T14:20:22Z<p>thanks for your quick answer!</p>
<p>So even if there are some differences in files like for example
web.xml (Liferay IDE) vs liferay-look-and-feel.xml (yo liferay-theme)
it does not matter at all which approach I use in my project?</p>Uwe Peters2021-02-16T14:20:22ZRE: What is the correct way to create a liferay theme?Roselaine Marqueshttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1206165962021-02-21T17:07:02Z2021-02-16T14:04:22Z<p>It depends on the developers preferences, now you have these two ways
to generate a new theme because the front-end developers no need to
have <em>Liferay IDE</em> opened for their development. Normally
they prefer to use other tools more friendly with front-end code
together with<em> NPM commands. </em></p>
<p>The only difference, I might say... is that if it is generated with
<em>yo liferay-theme</em> is the deploy path asked. If you generate
from <em>IDE</em> this path is not asked, because is suppose you are
using a <em>liferay-workspace</em> and the setting about the path to
deploy is inside gradle.properties.</p>
<p>Note: doesn’t matter if you generate outside. But if you want to put
it to organize and deploy the theme inside a liferay-workspace after
generate with <em>Theme Generator</em>, <a

need to be put inside "{liferay_workspace}/themes" folde</a>r.</p>Roselaine Marques2021-02-16T14:04:22ZWhat is the correct way to create a liferay theme?Uwe Petershttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1206165682021-02-16T13:49:03Z2021-02-16T13:49:03Z<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am wondering what is the correct way of creating a new custom theme
for liferay CE 7.3.5ga6? <br />
<br />Should I generate a new theme via yeoman and this command:</p>
<pre><code>yo liferay-theme</code></pre>
<p> <strong>or</strong></p>
<p>should I simply use the eclipse Liferay IDE and create it over </p>
<p>File -> New -> Liferay module Project -> Project Template
Name -> 'Theme' ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there any difference between these options?</p>Uwe Peters2021-02-16T13:49:03Z
