How to change themes in Composite C1?


I created a new Composite C1 v4.3 site using the Venus starter kit. Now that I've added content to it, is it possible to switch to the Mercury theme instead? I'm fine with losing any CSS or layout customizations.

I see that there are 3 "Venus" packages installed on the site. I thought I could just uninstall those and install the "Mercury" packages, but I can't find the "Mercury" packages to install.

If I can't switch packages, then the 2 options I see are...

  1. Manually move over the CSS, Less, script, and image files. Then update the "Layout" files to use the Razor templates from the Mercury site.

  2. Create a new Mercury site from scratch and move over the content and data.

Are there any faster options?


Solution

  • Since I didn't find any better solutions, I created a new site that had the design I wanted, then I manually moved over the CSS, LESS, script, & image files. Then I updated the "Layout" files used by the Razor template through the admin site.

    This worked but it was not pleasant.
