# Gitea Matrix Template- Turn your gitea arc-green template into the matrix ## Previews: ![preview 1](images/matrix-preview.png "Logo Title Text 1") ![preview 2](images/matrix-preview-2.png "Logo Title Text 1") ## How to use: 1. Find your gitea custom directory path in ***Site Administration > Configuration > Custom File Root Path***. 2. Create a new directory in your custom root path called ***templates***. 3. Create another directory in your custom root path called ***/public/css/***. 4. Clone the repo on your gitea server and move all the files except gitea-matrix-theme.css to the templates directory in your custom root path that you created in step 2. 5. Move the gitea-matrix-theme.css into the public/css/ folder you created earlier. 6. Set the arc-green built-in gitea theme active under ***Settings*** or set is as the default theme by finding your ***Site Administration > Configuration > Configuration File Path*** usually ***/.../gitea/app.ini***. Edit it to add this code to the last part of the file and save it: `[ui]` `DEFAULT_THEME = arc-green` 7. Restart your Gitea Service and you are ready to go. ### Welcome to the matrix!
