3. Set up your custom theme files:

   1. Navigate to the /vastorage/ptm/themes/ directory.

   2. Create a subdirectory under themes for your custom theme, such as MyCompanyTheme.

   3. Copy the contents of the /vastorage/ptm/themes/TransformationManager directory to your new theme directory (/vastorage/ptm/themes/MyCompanyTheme).

   4. In your custom theme directory, update the custom CSS file for color variables;

      /vastorage/ptm/themes/<your_theme_directory>/en/web/theme_variables.tmcss

   5. In your custom theme directory, change the image files as appropriate to define your custom theme for the PTM Web Interface.

      For example, change this line:

      server.theme=TransformationManager

      to this:

      server.theme=MyCompanyTheme

   3. (Optional) Modify the lines that specify the product name.
