Welcome to the world of custom themes for your Backpack v6 project! With the Tabler theme, you can easily change the layout for panel and auth views to suit your preferences.

Installation: Before we begin, let's make sure you have the Tabler theme installed:

Step 1: Install via Composer Use Composer to install the Tabler theme:

composer require backpack/theme-tabler

Step 2: Update Your View Namespace Next, head over to config/backpack/ui.php and update the view namespace:

- 'view_namespace' => 'backpack::',
+ 'view_namespace' => 'backpack.theme-tabler::',

Step 3: Publish the Theme Config File As we want to further customize the theme, let's publish the theme config file:

Now that you have the theme installed and configured, let's explore how to set up different layouts.

Changing Panel Layout:

In the published config file (config/backpack/theme-tabler.php), you'll find the layout option. This allows you to pick a layout for your panel views. You have several options to choose from:

• horizontal
• horizontal_dark
• horizontal_overlap
• vertical
• vertical_dark
• vertical_transparent (legacy theme)
• right_vertical
• right_vertical_dark
• right_vertical_transparent

For example, to set a horizontal layout, update the layout option:

'layout' => 'horizontal',

Refresh your browser and enjoy the new layout:
