Colorschemes

Built-in

By default websurfx comes with 12 colorschemes to choose from which can be easily chosen using the config file or via the settings page on the website.

To how to change colorschemes using the config file. See: Configuration

Custom

To write a custom theme for the website, you will first need to create a new file under the public/static/themes folder with name of the theme containing each word seperated with a hyphen (-). Then after that edit the newly created file as required with new css code.

Creating coloschemes is as easy as it gets it requires the user to have a colorscheme file name with the name of the colorscheme that is to be provided in which every space should be replaced with a - (dash) and it should end with a .css file extension. After creating the file you need to add the following code with the colors you want to include:

:root {
  --background-color: <background color>;
  --foreground-color: <foreground color (text color on the website) >;
  --logo-color: <logo color
    (the color of the logo svg image on the website homepage) >;
  --color-one: <color 1>;
  --color-two: <color 2>;
  --color-three: <color 3>;
  --color-four: <color 4>;
  --color-five: <color 5>;
  --color-six: <color 6>;
  --color-seven: <color 7>;
}

Note

Please infer the theme file located under public/static/themes to better understand where each color is being used.

Example of catppuccin-mocha colorscheme:

:root {
  --background-color: #1e1e2e;
  --foreground-color: #cdd6f4;
  --logo-color: #f5c2e7;
  --color-one: #45475a;
  --color-two: #f38ba8;
  --color-three: #a6e3a1;
  --color-four: #f9e2af;
  --color-five: #89b4fa;
  --color-six: #f5c2e7;
  --color-seven: #ffffff;
}

Custom

This section expects the user to have some knowledge of css.

To write a custom theme for the website, you will first need to create a new file under the public/static/themes folder with name of the theme containing each word seperated with a hyphen (-). Then after that edit the newly created file as required with new css code.

Here is an example of simple theme (which we provide by default with the app) which will give you a better idea on how you can create your own custom theme for the website:

Animations

Built-in

By default websurfx comes with 1 animation to choose from which can be easily chosen using the config file or via the settings page on the website.

To how to change animations using the config file. See: Configuration

Custom

To write custom animation, it requires the user to have some knowledge of themes and the HTML of the page for which the animation is being provided for.

The animations can be of 2 categories:

  • Theme specific animations
  • Universal animations

Theme Specific Animations

These animations can only be used with a specific theme and should not be used with other themes otherwise it either won't look good or won't work at all or would work partially.

Here is an example of simple-frosted-glow animation for the simple theme (which we provide by default with the app) which will give you a better idea on how to create a custom animation for a specific theme:

.results_aggregated .result {
  margin: 1rem;
  padding: 1rem;
  border-radius: 1rem;
}

.results_aggregated .result:hover {
  box-shadow:
    inset 0 0 3rem var(--color-two),
    inset 0 0 6rem var(--color-five),
    inset 0 0 9rem var(--color-three),
    0 0 0.25rem var(--color-two),
    0 0 0.5rem var(--color-five),
    0 0 0.75rem var(--color-three);
}

Universal Animations

These animations are independent of the theme being used and can be used with all the themes.

Here is an example of text-tilt animation which will give you an idea on how to create universal animations for the search engine website.

.results_aggregated .result:hover {
  transform: skewX(10deg);
}

Note

  1. The above-mentioned examples of animations was covered for the search page of the search engine website. While the same way of creating custom animations can also be done for other pages also.
  2. While the naming the file for the new theme file. Follow the following naming conventions:
    1. If the animation is theme specfic then name of the animation file should look like this: <name of the theme which these animation is for><seperated by a hyphen or dash><name of the animation with whitespaces replaced with hyphens> For example: If the animation to make search results frosty glow on hover was to be created for the simple theme then the name of the file would look something like this: simple-frosted-glow Where simple is the name of the theme the animation targets and frosted-glow is the name of the animation where each word has been seperated by a hyphen.
    2. If the animation is not theme specfic (univeral theme) then name of the animation file should look like this: <name of the animation with whitespaces replaced with hyphens> For example: If the animation to make search results text tilt on hover was to be created then the name of the file would look something like this: text-tilt Where text-tilt is the name of the animation where each word has been seperated by a hyphen. (While naming the files for these types of themes, You do not need to add a theme name in frontend of the file name.).
