Introduction

Previously, we have introduced an online themer for ZK 6.5 to customize own personal themes. However, as the release of ZK 7 focuses on theme engine improvements combining the power of CSS 3, LESS and Bootstrap, the theme generator we have introduced is no longer applicable.

We have therefore created another online theme-roller especially for ZK 7. ZK Online Theme-Roller is built based on LESS, which means that customizing individual components’ look and feel is now made possible!

For more information on ZK 7, please click here or check out the demo!
