Add simple themes to your rails applications

It will generate a configuration file.

# encoding: utf-8

class MyThemeLoader
  def self.configure
    Themes.email = 'sales@company.com'

    development do
      # Place development environment stuff here
    end

    production do
      # Place production environment stuff here
    end

    test do
      # Place test environment stuff here
    end
  end
end
