XF 2.0 Download original theme: .XML file

[Nicolas FR]

Hello all,

Is there a way to download the default style in XML format ?

As I have directly customised the default style without creating a copy or without creating a child style how can I find back the default style?
Of course without losing my modified style.

Thanks.

Export your default style then reset all settings and import your style again without overwrite.

Just go to your control panel -> Appearance -> Styles -> Create a Style

It will re-create the default style for you.

Easy ! Thanks for this.

Otherwise, what is the best solution to make changes to a style while keeping the original ?

• Create a new style
• Create a child style of the default style

As well as to manage the upgrades as easily as possible?

@Brogan, no it's not, i made changes on the original XF style.

I just export my style, is 170Ko is a normal weight for this kind of XML ? (just 2 add-ons installed)

 

[Paul B]

The default style is designed to be customised.

No special steps or processes are necessary.

Hello Brogan,

thnaks for your answer.

Concerning the 160Ko of my exported XML file, is it a normal weight?
I imagined that a style could weigh some Mo

Thanks
