Minimal

A quiet admin theme for Aurora, a content management system for Laravel built on Filament. Neutral greys, thin lines and nothing that glows, in light and dark.

Features

• Light and dark mode. Everyone picks their own in the user menu, or in the command palette (⌘K).
• The whole admin. Filament's panels and forms, and Aurora's own screens: the visual editor, its inspector, the media library and the settings.
• Prebuilt. The stylesheet ships compiled in resources/dist/theme.css, so installing it needs no build step.
• A starting point. A small, flat theme that's easy to copy when you make your own.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4 or newer
• Aurora (shipaurora/cms), with Filament 5.10.3 or newer

Installation

composer require shipaurora/minimal
php artisan filament:assets

filament:assets copies the stylesheet to public/css/shipaurora/minimal-theme. Run it again after updating the package.

Usage

Once installed, Minimal is one of the themes under Settings › Appearance. The choice applies to everyone who works in the admin.

To make it the theme from configuration instead, until someone chooses one in Settings, set AURORA_THEME in .env:

AURORA_THEME=minimal

Making your own theme

A theme is a package that registers itself with Aurora. Minimal's service provider (src/ThemeServiceProvider.php) shows the whole registration, and its stylesheets in resources/css restyle Aurora's cms-* hooks with a handful of tokens. Aurora's documentation covers writing a theme.

Development

The compiled stylesheet in resources/dist/theme.css is built from the sources in resources/css, which import Filament's theme and Aurora's components. It's built in Aurora's development setup, where those packages are installed next to it.
