Own Theme options was created by f.risse

Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: 6.11.0+250303
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own Server (Ubuntu/Apache)
Survey theme/template: Extended_fruity
==================
How do I create own Theme options that are called by the "custom.css"?

I understand how I can edit the design but not how I can add own Theme options for the user creating the survey.
For example: Next to the Background color options i a colorpicker where you can enter the Button Color (Extended_fruity_Colors.png). The Button Color is then called by the custom.css.

Currently, I can hard code it in the "custom.css" but not make it variable for the user.

My thoughts behind this: The persons who create the survey can't and shouldn't touch the theme code. If one person want reds and the other blue buttons, I need to create a new theme for them. It's easier if each person can set their own color in the theme options in the survey.

Only on config.xml : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/41...nilla/config.xml#L62
You need to update current, sometime need to reset theme (unsure here)

With 5X : yes, we can need to update twig files, gitlab.com/SondagesPro/SurveyThemes/skel...tions?ref_type=heads
But with 6 : I really think we can use only options XML part. gitlab.com/SondagesPro/SurveyThemes/skel...l?ref_type=heads#L41

If there are lacks of option : mantis

For everyone who is interested, how I did it:
First of all "LS" does not stands for LimeSurvey but the company I work at.

I edited the xml file for my extended theme

Code:

/limesurvey/upload/themes/survey/LS_fruity/config.xml

This will add a ThemeOption.
Here I added <ls_btnColor>

Code:

type=""

will be the input type (button, colorpicker, text)

Code:

category=""

decides in which category, the option will be displayed

Code:

title=""

will be the Displayed name for the option

then added this part to the layout_global.twig in the theme editor
i also did it in the layout_survey_list.twig because the surveylist dosn't use the layout_global.twig
