# MokoCassiopeia Template Files
This directory contains template files for client color customizations.
---
## 📁 Available Templates
### Custom Color Scheme Template
**File**: `colors_custom.css`
A comprehensive template for creating custom color schemes. This template includes all CSS variables used by MokoCassiopeia for both light and dark modes.
**Usage**:
1. Copy this file to either:
- `src/media/css/colors/light/colors_custom.css` (for light mode)
- `src/media/css/colors/dark/colors_custom.css` (for dark mode)
2. Customize the CSS variables to match your brand colors
3. Enable in Joomla: System → Site Templates → MokoCassiopeia → Theme tab
4. Set the appropriate palette to "Custom"
**Reference**: See [CSS Variables Documentation](../docs/CSS_VARIABLES.md) for complete variable reference.
---
### Client Fork .gitignore Template
**File**: `gitignore-template`
A .gitignore template for client forks that ensures custom color files are tracked in the fork repository while maintaining proper ignore rules for other files.
**Usage**:
- Automatically applied when using the client fork creation workflow
- Can be manually copied to `.gitignore` in client fork repositories
---
## 🎯 When to Use These Templates
### Creating a Client Fork
If you're creating a custom fork of MokoCassiopeia for a specific client:
1. **Use the automated workflow**: See [CLIENT_FORK_WORKFLOW.md](../docs/CLIENT_FORK_WORKFLOW.md)
2. **Set up custom colors**: Use `colors_custom.css` as your starting point
3. **Test thoroughly**: Verify colors in both light and dark modes
### Custom Colors Only
If you just need custom colors without forking:
1. Use the `colors_custom.css` template
2. Follow the instructions in the [main README](../README.md#custom-color-palettes)
3. Enable custom palette in Joomla template settings
