If you have not created a theme yet, click “+ Add custom theme”

84.0.1 General¶

Populate the fields as outlined and browse and select and image (.png) to be uploaded as the site logo. Once uploaded, click 'Is enabled'.

84.0.2 Navbar¶

The Navbar section can be used to customise the menu bar at the top of the landing page as shown below.

Features such as background colour, text colour and size, and logos can be edited here. Additionally, if users require a divider to the right of the logo/brand, it can be edited, removed and enabled in this section.

84.0.3 Landing page¶

Select the landing page section under 'Available landing page sections', which will then become highlighted (see Landing page customisations on how to add sections). Then click the right arrow to choose the sections that will be visible on the landing page in your custom theme. You can remove sections by selecting them under 'Chosen landing page sections' and click the left arrow.

Users can also select the carousel that will be presented on the landing page (see Carousel headers for how to add and edit a header)

84.0.4 Summary Dashboard¶

The summary dashboard is displayed after the carousel on the landing page and includes details on the number of records and sites per biodiversity module (eg, fish, amphibians etc). Each biodiversity module icon is surrounded by a circular ring that visually depicts the internation IUCN conservation statuses of the records.

Here, users can also adjust the fonts, background colour and palette on the conservation status ring around the module icons.

84.0.5 Partners¶

The Partners & Funders section is located at the bottom of the landing page (see Partners on how to add partners and logos to the platform).

The font for the partner section can be adjusted here. Users can also choose which partner and funder logos are displayed in this section, following the same workflow described above for the 84.0.3 Landing page

84.0.6 Colors & Buttons¶

This section can be used to customise the colour theme for the BIMS website.

This can be achieved by clicking on the coloured box and selecting a colour, or by editing the HEX code.
