Themes Development

There are two ways to add a theme to your Seizo Desktop app:

  • Download one from the Seizo Marketplace, either the free or purchased version.
  • Add one from a local directory.

If you want to manually build a custom theme, add your whole project folder to the SeizoZenshin folder inside your Documents directory. This is especially useful when developing a custom theme: add your project folder to the SeizoZenshin folder, then add the project directory in your Seizo Desktop app.

You can also add a theme from outside the Seizo Marketplace — there are no restrictions. However, please be aware that we are not responsible for any theme you add from outside the Seizo Marketplace. Make sure any third-party theme comes from a trusted source.

How to add your theme to the Seizo Marketplace

Section titled “How to add your theme to the Seizo Marketplace”

First, your theme directory must contain a README.md file. It should include the following frontmatter fields:

  • themeUID: Leave it empty
  • themeAuthor: Leave it empty
  • themePrice: 0 if the theme is free; otherwise, the price in USD
  • themeTitle: Your theme title
  • isFree: (Boolean) true if the theme is free; otherwise, false
  • themeTag: (String array) Tags for your theme
  • themeImg: (String) Make sure the image is in the root of your theme directory and has the same file name
  • lothemeDemoUrl: (String) URL to the theme demo
  • lodownloadThemeUrl: If it is a paid theme, leave it empty; otherwise, provide the download URL from GitHub
  • draft: Always false
  • date: Theme creation date

Next, make sure the README has a body that explains the theme and its features. Here is a sample README.md.

Submit your theme here. Make sure to include all the frontmatter fields from the sample README.md, and make sure the image are included in the root theme directory.
