FAQ
Example:

- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Install
You usually don't have to install this theme manually, it's shipped together with Pico's pre-built release packages and a default dependency of picocms/pico-composer.
If you're using a custom theme, you can safely remove this theme.
If you use a composer-based installation of Pico and want to either remove or install Pico's default theme, simply open a shell on your server and navigate to Pico's install directory (e.g. /var/www/html). Run composer remove picocms/pico-theme to remove the theme, or run composer require picocms/pico-theme (via Packagist.org) to install the theme.
If you rather use one of Pico's pre-built release packages, it is best to simply leave Pico's default theme as it is - it won't hurt... :wink: The reason for this is, that the theme is part of Pico's pre-built release packages, thus it will be automatically re-installed when updating Pico. However, if you really want to remove the theme, simply delete the themes/default directory in Pico's install directory (e.g. /var/www/html). If you want to install Pico's default theme, you must first create a empty themes/default directory on your server, download the version of the theme matching the version of your Pico installation and upload all containing files (i.a. index.twig) into said themes/default directory (resulting in themes/default/index.twig).
The versioning of Pico's default theme strictly follows the version of Pico's core. You must not use a version of the theme that doesn't match the version of Pico's core (e.g. version 2.0.1 is not compatible with Pico 2.0.0). If you're using a composer-based installation of Pico, simply use a version constaint like ^2.0 - picocms/pico-theme ensures that its version matches Pico's version. Even if you're using one of Pico's pre-built release packages, you don't have to take care of anything - a matching version of the theme is part of Pico's pre-built release packages anyway.
Usage
Pico's default theme isn't really intended to be used for a productive website, it's rather a starting point for creating your own theme. Simply copy the theme's directory (themes/default/ to e.g. themes/my_theme/) and add the following line to your config/config.yml:
You can now edit the theme's stylesheets and JavaScript to fit your needs. If you rather want to use a third-party theme, simply add the theme's directory to your themes/ directory (e.g. themes/some_other_theme/) and update your config/config.yml accordingly. Pico's default theme is now completely disabled and won't ever interfere with your custom theme or your website in general anymore. If you want to use Pico's default theme again, either remove the line or replace it by theme: default.
Anyway, since Pico's default theme is meant to be a starting point for your own theme, it demonstrates how themes can allow one to tweak a theme's behavior. For this reason it supports a "Widescreen" mode: By adding theme_config.widescreen: true to your config/config.yml, the theme's main container grows from 768px to 1152px breadth due to adding class="widescreen" to the website's <body> element. Pico's default theme furthermore supports displaying both a logo and a tagline in its header, as well as adding social buttons to its footer. Rather than using Pico's config for this, it uses the YAML Frontmatter of the content/_meta.md Markdown file. Here's content/_meta.md from Pico's sample contents:
You should also check out the theme's pico-theme.yml: First of all it tells Pico to use the latest API version for themes and adjusts Pico's default Twig config. But more importantly it also registers the mentioned widescreen theme config as well as the meta headers Logo, Tagline and Social.
