Apply and Import Theme

Themes are style elements that work at the widget or UI component level. Themes help you provide a consistent look and feel to your application.

In this document, see how to apply standard themes, and in the next section, see how to import and apply custom themes.

Applying Standard Themes​

To change the theme, click Themes from the Workspace toolbar.

note

WaveMaker provides a few default themes that can be applied to your apps. From time to time, these themes might undergo changes and you might be asked to update the theme when you open the project.

Remember that the updates will re-write any changes you made directly to the CSS styles of the corresponding theme.

Deprecated Themes​

These changes take effect from Release-10.4.

  1. Graffiti
  2. Mellow-yellow
  3. Autumn
  4. Cool-blue
  5. Flyer
  6. Retro
  7. Vermillion

If you are using a deprecated theme, you will still be able to use it until you change it to another theme. Once the changes are made, you cannot go back to the old theme.

Import and Apply Custom Themes​

You can import a customized theme for your app by developing a theme with your own branding standards or styles.

note

To develop a customized theme, you can go with either of these approaches.

If you want to use a custom theme, it is recommended to create a theme and come back to this section to import and apply a theme.

info

For the Enterprise version, the custom themes will be available once they are published to the EDN and approved by the EDN Admin, without needing to import.

For more information, see How to Publish a Theme to EDN.
