Options available in settings.py:

JET_DEFAULT_THEME

Django JET allows you to change default theme. This feature is mainly used for customizing color schemes rather than making absolutely different themes. This option in fact make Django load different css styles.

Possible built-in themes are:

• default
• green
• light-violet
• light-green
• light-blue
• light-gray

To change theme use parameter:

JET_DEFAULT_THEME = 'light-gray'

JET_THEMES

You can allow your users to change admin panel color scheme. This option will add color scheme chooser to the user dropdown menu. Make JET_THEMES an empty list to disable this feature.

JET_THEMES = [
    {
        'theme': 'default', # theme folder name
        'color': '#47bac1', # color of the theme's button in user menu
        'title': 'Default' # theme title
    },
    {
        'theme': 'violet',
        'color': '#a464c4',
        'title': 'Violet'
    },
    {
        'theme': 'green',
        'color': '#44b78b',
        'title': 'Green'
    },
    {
        'theme': 'light-green',
        'color': '#2faa60',
        'title': 'Light Green'
    },
    {
        'theme': 'light-violet',
        'color': '#a464c4',
        'title': 'Light Violet'
    },
    {
        'theme': 'light-blue',
        'color': '#5EADDE',
        'title': 'Light Blue'
    },
    {
        'theme': 'light-gray',
        'color': '#222',
        'title': 'Light Gray'
    }
]

CUSTOM JET_THEME

You are free to add your own color schemes by adding new folder to /static/jet/css/themes/. You can use /jet/static/jet/css/themes/light-violet/ folder as an example (available in Django JET repository). _variables.scss contains all customizable variables. You’ll have to compile all .scss files in theme directory to start using your own theme.

COMPACT MENU

If you don’t have a lot of apps and models it can be annoying to have a two-level menu. In this case you can use menu’s compact mode, which will list applications and models in the side menu without need to move pointer over applications to show models.

JET_SIDE_MENU_COMPACT = True

Default is False

CUSTOM MENU

By default JET displays all applications and it models in the side menu in the alphabetical order. To display applications and models you want or to change their order you can use JET_SIDE_MENU_CUSTOM_APPS setting.

JET_SIDE_MENU_CUSTOM_APPS = [
    ('core', [ # Each list element is a tuple with application name (app_label) and list of models
        'User',
        'MenuItem',
        'Block',
    ]),
    ('shops', [
        'Shop',
        'City',
        'MetroStation',
    ]),
    ('feedback', [
        'Feedback',
    ]),
]

If want to show all application’s models use __all__ keyword.

JET_SIDE_MENU_CUSTOM_APPS = [
    ('core', ['__all__']),
    ...
]

Note

You can use jet_custom_apps_example management command to generate example JET_SIDE_MENU_CUSTOM_APPS setting which includes all your applications and models. You can use it this way:

python manage.py jet_custom_apps_example

JET_INDEX_DASHBOARD

Sets which dashboard class will be used for rendering admin index dashboard. Allows you to create your own dashboard with custom modules and pre-installed layout.

JET_INDEX_DASHBOARD = 'jet.dashboard.DefaultIndexDashboard'

JET_APP_INDEX_DASHBOARD

Same as JET_INDEX_DASHBOARD, but for application pages

JET_APP_INDEX_DASHBOARD = 'jet.dashboard.DefaultAppIndexDashboard'
