## User CSS

- Shaarli's apparence can be modified by editing CSS rules in `inc/user.css`. This file allows to override rules defined in the main `inc/shaarli.css` (only add changed rules), or define a whole new theme.
- Do not edit `inc/shaarli.css`! Your changes would be overriden when updating Shaarli.
- Some themes are available at https://github.com/shaarli/shaarli-themes.

## RainTPL template

_WARNING - This feature is currently being worked on and will be improved in the next releases. Experimental._

- Find the template you'd like to install (see the list of [available templates|Theming#community-themes--templates](available-templates|Theming#community-themes--templates.html))
- Find it's git clone URL or download the zip archive for the template.
- In your Shaarli `tpl/` directory, run `git clone https://url/of/my-template/` or unpack the zip archive.
    - There should now be a `my-template/` directory under the `tpl/` dir, containing directly all the template files.
- Edit `data/config.php` to have Shaarli use this template, e.g.
```php
$GLOBALS['config'['RAINTPL_TPL'] = 'tpl/my-template/';]('RAINTPL_TPL']-=-'tpl/my-template/';.html)
```

### Example installation: AlbinoMouse template
With the following configuration:
- Apache 2 / PHP 5.6
- user sites are enabled, e.g. `/home/user/public_html/somedir` is served as `http://localhost/~user/somedir`
- `http` is the name of the Apache user

```bash
$ cd ~/public_html

# clone repositories
$ git clone https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli.git shaarli
$ pushd shaarli/tpl
$ git clone https://github.com/alexisju/albinomouse-template.git
$ popd

# set access rights for Apache
$ chgrp -R http shaarli
$ chmod g+rwx shaarli shaarli/cache shaarli/data shaarli/pagecache shaarli/tmp
```

Get config written:
- go to the freshly installed site
- fill the install form
- log in to Shaarli

Edit Shaarli's [configuration|Shaarli configuration](configuration|Shaarli-configuration.html):
```bash
# the file should be owned by Apache, thus not writeable => sudo
$ sudo sed -i s=tpl=tpl/albinomouse-template=g shaarli/data/config.php
```
