title: What are the steps to create and use custom themes in OpenUI5 without SAP license?
body: <p>I am looking for steps (end to end) on how to create and use custom theme in custom OpenUI5 apps.</p>
  <p>I have looked at the OpenUI5 code in GitHub and it is still a bit not clear for me as far as the end to end process goes.</p>
  <p>Here's what I have understood so far</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Each control has its own <code>*.less</code> file for each theme and there is <code>base.less</code> with the color definitions.</li>
  <li>A grunt task loops through the LESS files and  generates one common <code>library.css</code> for each library (<code>sap.ui.core</code>, <code>sap.m</code>, etc..)</li>
  <li>Add the CSS in the <code>resources</code> folder as shown <a href="http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end/blog/2013/09/19/create-and-apply-custom-theme-to-sapui5-application" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></li>
  </ol>
  <p>Is this correct, or am I missing a way to create custom themes <strong>without any SAP software license?</strong></p>
  <p>I think the &quot;UI Theme Designer&quot; needs SAP software to be installed. I am looking for something not linked with the SAP environment.</p>
