What files are included with my theme?

You’ll find several file types within your theme:

  • .php files - these are the backbone of a Drupal theme, and tell your website what to display where
  • .css files - these are style sheet files, which control the visual look and feel of your web site. This is where all the magic of beautiful designs happen.
  • Image files - these will end in .gif, .jpg, or .png, depending on the type of image. They are optimized for a balance of fast load times and prettiness. Your theme may include additional icons or stock images.
  • .js files - these are JavaScript, and will add some additional functionality and whiz-bang display features to your theme.
  • .psd files - these are the Photoshop files, the original design mockups used to create the site. They may not be 100% identical to the theme, as sometimes small adjustments are made when converting these to a live website. When opened in Photoshop, these files allow you to completely customize any of the graphics, backgrounds, etc. used in the theme.
