The custom themes should be created in the defined structure (its recommended to use the default theme as a template) and then zipped (GZIP) into a compressed file with the name ThemeName.zip where ThemeName is the name of the Theme.

During creation of a new theme it can be beneficial to disable the following resource features; minification, client caching and gzipping the content before sending to clients. This can be done by naming the theme with the following suffixes.
This will prevent Meridix Studio from using performance optimzation features dureing development of a new theme. |
The zipped theme file should be available to the Meridix server either locally on the server (this option is not available when hosted externally by Meridix Systems) or on a public accessible URL. When a theme is set in Meridix Studio the system downloads and extracts the custom theme to an internal temporary folder and loads the resources from that folder for future requests. When uploading a new version of an existing theme append an incremented version number in the theme name to bypass the internal theme cache that caches a loaded theme for a minimum of three hours. Ex: ThemeName_V1.nominify.noclientcache.nogzip.zip.
