Requirements
- Pterodactyl Panel v2.0 or newer (the extension system).
- An administrator account to change the settings.
Installation
The entire install happens in the Panel. There is nothing to upload to your nodes.
Step 1: Download the theme
Extract the product ZIP and keep both
graphite-1.0.0.pteroext
(the installable build) and
graphite-source.zip
(the editable source) if you want to customize the theme.
Step 2: Install in the Panel
- Sign in to your Panel as an administrator.
- Go to Admin → Extensions.
- Click Install and upload the
.pteroextfile. - Toggle the extension on to enable it.
Alternative: install from the command line
php artisan p:extension:install graphite-1.0.0.pteroext --enable
Step 3: Open the Graphite page
Graphite is active as soon as it is enabled. Open Admin → Graphite to change the look. Every change shows up right away as a preview. Click Save to apply it for everyone, or Undo changes to go back to what is saved.
Settings
| Tab | What you can change |
|---|---|
| Colors | Pick a preset (Graphite, Midnight, Forest or the original Pterodactyl colors) or set each color yourself: surfaces, text, buttons, hover, status colors and the console. |
| Text and shape | The font (Poppins, IBM Plex Sans, the system font or a custom font family) and the corner radius. |
| Layout | One sidebar on the left that holds your servers, the server menu or the account menu, with an account button at the bottom for Search, Dashboard, Admin, Account settings and Sign out. You can also keep the bar at the top. The admin area always keeps its own layout. Also the content width. |
| Branding | Upload a logo and a favicon, set the logo height and choose whether the panel name stays next to the logo. |
Managing the extension
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Update | Install the newer .pteroext over the top from the Extensions page. Your settings are kept. |
| Back to the default look | Disable the extension on the Extensions page |
| Remove | Click Remove on the Extensions page, or php artisan p:extension:remove graphite |
