Themes

3 minute read

Four looks for the same dashboard. Glass is free; Estate, Bento and Boardroom come with Theatrium Pro. Every one has a light and a dark version.

What a theme is

A theme is the overall look of the dashboard: the colors, the type, the shape of the cards and how many panels fit on the screen. Your cards and settings stay the same whichever theme you pick, so you can switch freely.

The four themes

Glass. Soft translucent cards on a deep blue-black background. The free theme, and the one most people start with.

Estate. Warm, classic type with gold accents, like a country house notice board.

Boardroom. Clean and businesslike, with a large clock and world times. Built for offices and meeting rooms, and the only theme whose clock is always 24-hour.

Changing theme

  1. Open Settings (press Back on the dashboard) and choose Appearance.
  2. The Theme card is at the top. Move along the row of theme names and press the center on one. The preview beside it updates at once.
    Settings › Appearance. The theme row is first; the preview beside it shows the layout and how many panels it has.

  3. For Bento, a Color Palette row appears underneath. Choose from Amethyst, Bordeaux, Emerald, Platinum and Sapphire, or the default.
  4. Press Back to close Settings. The dashboard redraws in the new theme.

Light and dark

Every theme has a light version. On the dashboard, move to the top bar and choose the half-filled circle button, named Light/Dark Mode. Press it again to swap back.

Each theme remembers its own cards

Each theme has its own number of panels and its own memory of what you put in them. The first time you open a theme it starts with its standard set of cards. Change them as you like; when you switch to another theme and back, your choices are still there. The second page is shared: the same twelve cards appear whichever theme you use.
