 ====== Layout adjustments ======
-===== General =====
+===== How do I create my own theme? =====
 Admidio is delivered with a contemporary layout. Of course you can also use it for your website. But in many cases you might want to adapt the layout of Admidio to the layout of your website. This can range from simple color changes up to an own header and footer of the page. Some of you might even want to change the layout and adjust the content in forms or lists.
 This page describes the options you have to customize the given layout. The adjustments described here refer to Admidio 4.0 or a more recent version. Many things are possible, but unfortunately not everything. Admidio has historically a close connection between layout and logic. We try to separate these more and more. The relevant layout files are stored in the folder **adm_themes**. There is a subfolder for each theme. If you only want to change small things, you can do this in the existing **Simple** theme. For bigger changes we recommend to create a copy of **Simple** with a new name, e.g. **myNewTheme**. You can create as many themes as you like. The desired theme can be selected later in the settings under //Settings > General > Admidio-Theme//.\\

-===== Adjustments via CSS =====
+===== How do I customize the layout with CSS? =====
 Many layout adjustments can already be implemented via CSS. For this you can use the **admidio.css** file in the theme folder //adm_themes/simple/css//. There you can change existing adjustments to classes or id's or add new ones. This file will be included in every page as the last CSS file and overwrites all previous set values.\\

 Make sure that the files are included 2x slightly modified. Once in $debug mode in full length and once as minified files for productive use. You should exchange the files at both places.
-===== Customization with the Template Engine Smarty =====
+===== How do I edit the layout with the Template Engine? =====
 Admidio uses the [[https://www.smarty.net/|Smarty Template Engine]] to display the Html page. With it we create the general layout elements like the page header with the menu and the page footer. The actual content, the dialogs or lists are currently still generated from the individual scripts and cannot be changed using special template files. But take a look at what is already possible via the main page.

 The example above looks like this:\\
 **Files of this file type are not allowed on the server.**
+===== How do I change icons ? =====
+Admidio uses the font library [[https://fontawesome.com/|Font Awesome]], more precisely the [[https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&s=solid&m=free|free Solid Theme]] of this library to display icons. You can integrate the icons quite easily. Search for your desired icon on the website mentioned above, remember the name and include the following code snippet: <code html><i class="fas fa-chevron-circle-down"></i></code> In this example, the icon is called //chevron-circle-down//. You have to put a //fa-// in front of it.\\
+You can easily change all built-in icons using CSS. You only have to address the class //fas// via CSS and can apply all font attributes there: <code css>.fas {
+   color: #0000ff;
+   font-size: 120%;
+}</code>
+===== How can I customize the overview page ? =====
+Admidio normally displays an overview page with various plugins when called and after a successful login, such as the latest announcements, the latest files and documents or upcoming birthdays.\\
+{{:en:2.0:documentation:layout:overview.png?400|Admidio overview page}}\\
+If you don't want to see some of the already stored plugins or if you want to add more, you can do this in the corresponding template file. This is located at ''http://www.your-webpage.com/admidio/adm_themes/simple/templates/overview.tpl''. In this file you find now different HTML blocks, which have the following structure: <code html><div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-3" id="admidio-card-plugin-birthday">
+    <div class="card admidio-roles">
+        <div class="card-body">
+            {load_admidio_plugin plugin="birthday" file="birthday.php"}
+        </div>
+    </div>
+</div></code> Search there for your no longer wanted plugin ''plugin="birthday"'' and then remove this block completely.\\ \\
+If you want to add another plugin, you can duplicate such a block and deposit the plugin. We now create a simple HTML page that should be included in the overview. For this we create a new subfolder **test** in the folder **adm_plugins**. In this subfolder we now create a file ''output.html'' with the following content: <code html><h3>Test</h3>
+This is the content of <b>any html file</b> from a subfolder of adm_plugins.</code> You can now integrate the content of this file as another block in the overview with the following code:
+<code html><div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-3" id="admidio-card-plugin-test">
+    <div class="card admidio-roles">
+        <div class="card-body">
+            {load_admidio_plugin plugin="test" file="output.html"}
+        </div>
+    </div>
+</div></code> The result together with a few plugins that have been removed may then look like this:\\
