Is there a way to override which theme should be running by default when starting NodeBB for the first time?

You should be able to pass in the defaultTheme during setup now.

@arasbm As a recent NodeBB explorer (and NodeJs) I'll suggest you to start with the harder of plugins and themes and it's plugins. As I understand the thing : Plugin is a custom behaviour that could work on every NodeBB forum and that is not based on the theme. It should be configurable (if needed) and not conflict. It try to solves a problem that is experience related. Theme is how you want your NodeBB forum to look like. It's easier to go inside because it's based on a sublime api and it's just css/html and and a bit of JS. If you want you theme to create a custom behaviour that is only applicable to itself then you can because themes are created and treated like plugins. You can take a look at the api on every NodeBB page with {origin}/api/{path} Both plugins and themes can make the use of the api and write content to use after. Take a look of the existing ones and you'll have a good point of view to start developing you owns.

Been offline for a bit but it looks like this has been addressed. This has been fixed by @julian in commit d33d965 to nodebb-theme-persona and commit 9d202d9 to nodebb. Thanks Julian!

@sfchun said in nodeBB 1.8.2 ubuntu16.04.2 redis install from scratch: node app --setup I guess that was not the right step here.

@a_5mith said: @luke you could build something like that yourself, change background to the image, set post preview to 0 in ACP, job done. This is closer to a Reskin than a new theme in the strictest sense. This is still in early design i plan on editting the tpl soon toon. Also i did say i was using lavendar as a base Also i will make the image use jpg with progressive scans so its easier on mobile devices @psychobunny
