Custom Theme (QS Feb'2018) doesn't work

Hello,

I've created a simple Custom Theme according to help (https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2018/Subsystems/Extensions/Content/custom-themes...) and installed it as an extension into my Qlik Sense Enterprise.

It appears in the Theme combo of the app configuration but when a try to select it doesn't do anything.

Has anybody know how to make custom themes work?

Thanks!

Ariel

Hi Erik,

The json file has correct syntax since I tested with the script from the Qlik Sense Help.

Now I checked the browser console for errors and effectively, I'm getting the 404 error. I noticed that "theme.json" is required (a json file with the "theme" name). I looked back to Help and indeed, this is required.

So I changed it and now it works!

Thanks,

Ariel

Hi,

I have Qlik Sense Desktop April 2018, and I'm not being able to use themes (I used to in previous versions). I have two files in my theme folder:

theme.css

theme.json

Any idea on what might be happening?

Thanks

I'm seeing that this version (and I believe that since February) handles themes differently.

I've created a folder in C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions\Montreal and there I've placed a qext, json and a css. My custom theme, called Montreal, is becoming available when editing the app, but it doesn't do anything when selected.

What did you do to make old theme files work with newer version?
