About

In this guide we will create a new Breeze-based theme called “Local/breeze-custom” and then activate it for selected store view.

Declare new theme

1. Open your terminal and navigate to app/design/frontend folder:

   cd <MAGENTO_ROOT>/app/design/frontend
   

2. Create Local/breeze-custom folder and navigate inside:

   mkdir -p Local/breeze-custom && cd Local/breeze-custom
   

3. Create theme.xml file:

   <theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
       <title>Custom Breeze Theme</title>
       <parent>Swissup/breeze-blank</parent>
   </theme>
   

4. Create registration.php file:

   <?php
   
   use Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar;
   
   ComponentRegistrar::register(
       ComponentRegistrar::THEME,
       'frontend/Local/breeze-custom',
       __DIR__
   );
   

Activate theme

Login to the Magento backend and navigate to Content > Design > Configuration. Select the store view you want to apply the theme and press Edit.

Select Custom Breeze Theme in the Applied Theme dropdown and save the config.

That’s all. You are now using your own custom theme and can override templates, add new styles, apply layout updates, and change images settings.
