6.4 no longer allows custom themes?

Hi!

In our 6.2/6.3 installation, I had set up a custom template and theme using the process shown at AEM 6.0 Forms Help | Creating custom adaptive form themes​.

We had no entry on the "Adaptive Form Theme" property of the Form Container - we would set the dropdown to blank and our template would force all look and feel.

Now we are building a clean installation of 6.4, but our above solution no longer works. I don't want to recreate all the work I did in LESS to a new Theme, and I find the the Theme Editor to be very clunky and difficult to use. Is there any way to point the theme to a "blank" theme that will allow the original template to be used?

Thanks!

One big difference between AEM 6.4 is older versions is clientlibs are recommended under /apps now - as opposedto /etc. If you place your clientlibs under /apps with the required CSS - it should work the same.

Thanks! Would it be possible to be notified when published?

In the meantime I'm experimenting. I can get my webpage templates to work, but still having issues with the form templates, even after moving to /app/ file. I'm going through and checking for broken links, etc.

Also, is it possible to get an ETA, in case I can't figure out on my own? We need to know for planning. Thanks!

I asked the Team to respond and give an estimate of when the doc will be updated.

One thing to watch for that I found, is that any images or imports need to have the reference links changed as well, as the library structure appears to have changed.

@import "../../../../clientlibs/fd/af/guidetheme/common/less/globalvariables.less"; ended up changing to @import "/libs/fd/af/runtime/clientlibs/guidetheme/common/less/globalvariables.less";
