The Magento Luma theme


The Magento CE 2.0 version comes with a new theme named Luma that implements Responsive Web Design (RWD) practices.

The Luma theme style is based on the Magento user interface (UI) library and uses CSS3 media queries to work with screen width, adapting the layout according to device access.

  • The actions toolbar

  • Breadcrumbs

  • Buttons

  • Drop-down menus

  • Forms
