LimeSurvey 3 introduces a complete new template engine system, based on Twig 1.29 and Bootstrap, and allowing template inheritance and template options. The frontend HTML page can be 100% customize to suit your needs.
The following section is still under construction. If you wish to get a short introduction on the new theme system from LimeSurvey 3.x, please continue reading the following wiki section. If you are still using LimeSurvey 2.x, please continue reading the following wiki section (we always recommend our users to upgrade their installations!).
Introduction
The theme options is available on LimeSurvey 3.x, and offers a set of various tools that allows the survey administrators to quickly and easily change the themes-related settings of their surveys.
Options to Change a Theme
There are two ways to use a theme in LimeSurvey 3.x, either through the global setting or through the theme option panel inside a survey.
Changing the Theme from the global setting makes the chosen theme the default theme for all surveys you create. If the theme is changed for a particular survey using the Theme option panel inside the theme, only the theme for that particular survey is changed.
