Custom Gitbook Themes

Question

Does anyone know how to modify the look of a git book? I've seen 2 books that have a different look from the default: http://codac.co/ http://coalman.github.io/tott-gulpjs/book/

But can someone point me in the right direction of how to customize the look and/or build a custom theme for gitbook?

I can't seem to find any documentation on customizing a gitbook.

The makers of gitbook answered my question on twitter: npmjs.org/package/gitbook-plugin-wabtheme – Magnet

good question, but that plugin above is plugin-sample code with sample readme and just has custom theme in its name set. – Jeri

Answer 1

If you are using the CLI Toolchain (as opposed to the online editor noted above), you need to create a directory called '/styles' in the root of your book then add a 'website.css' file to that directory.

Customize that website.css file to adjust the style of your gitbook.

'gitbook serve' or 'gitbook build' when done to view changes.

If you are editing your gitbook online at gitbook.com, you can edit the stylesheets by selecting the down arrow in the far right of the toolbar:
