Add a New Theme

  1. Create a YAML file in src/rendercv/schema/models/design/other_themes/

    bash
    touch src/rendercv/schema/models/design/other_themes/mytheme.yaml

  2. Add the schema reference and override Classic theme defaults

    yaml
    # yaml-language-server: $schema=../../../../../../schema.json
design:
  theme: mytheme
  # Override any defaults from classic_theme.py here
  colors:
    name: rgb(0,0,0)
  typography:
    font_family: New Computer Modern
  # ... add any other overrides

  3. Update the JSON Schema

    bash
    just update-schema

    This regenerates schema.json so that editors can provide autocomplete and validation for the new theme. See JSON Schema for details.

  4. Done. Use it:

    bash
    rendercv new "John Doe" --theme mytheme
