There is a new extension called “Themes”. Can I add new themes from Bootstrap 5 and AdminLTE 3? How to use this extension?
No, it is not extension, it is a package for use with the main template. You cannot change that package because the package is not owned by you. When you do npm update, it will be overwritten by the latest version of the original package.
The settings for the themes package are those under HTML -> Themes.
If you meant you want to override it by your forked or customized package, you may override the original package in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\phpmaker2026\package.json.
Sorry to interrupt.
If that is not an Extension, why is it located under Tools → Extensions menu?
Since it is already put under the Extensions menu, shouldn’t it be better to include the Advanced Settings, so that we are able to change some params?
In addition, I did not see any difference in the generated front-end web application when to enable or disable it. Am I missing something?
The "themes" package is to provide the theme files for the main template package so it can be updated separately without waiting for next minor upgrade (previously it was part of the PHPMaker UI), it is a dependency package, not an optional or selectable extension package like TinyMCE extension. (So you cannot actually disable it either.) The settings for the themes package are those under HTML -> Themes. I don't think it should be shown in Tools -> Extensions.
Until version 2026.4, it is still located under Tools → Extensions menu, and it can be disabled.
Perhaps in the next minor release, it can be moved out from that location.
