Customize your theme

Your forum ships with a theme system you control from the management area. You can switch the base theme and, without writing any CSS, override its colours and design tokens to match your brand.

  1. Management area → Themes.
  2. Set the default theme for your forum from the installed themes.
  3. You can also upload a theme package or delete one you no longer need.

The default theme is also selectable under Settings → Appearance, alongside the default language.

Theme Styles let you create a named set of overrides on top of a theme — colours, sizes, and other design tokens — using type-aware controls (colour pickers, size inputs). Your overrides are stored for your instance and applied on top of the base theme, so upgrades to the theme don’t wipe out your brand.

  1. Management area → Theme Styles → Add. Base the new style on an installed theme and give it a name.
  2. Open the style and go to its Properties.
  3. Add or edit properties to override the theme’s variables — for example a primary colour or a border radius. Each property uses the right control for its type.
  4. Save. Your styling is generated on demand and cached, so changes appear quickly.

If a change doesn’t show up, use Regenerate on the style (or Refresh all on the Theme Styles list) to rebuild the cached CSS.

Members can pick their preferred theme and language in their own account settings, choosing from the themes you make available.
