Saving Themes

System Themes

When saving changes to a system theme, a new custom theme is created. The original system theme remains unchanged.

Custom Themes

Saving updates the existing theme. Changes apply everywhere the theme is used.

Deleting Themes

Only custom themes can be deleted. Sections using a deleted theme will need a new theme assigned.

Tips

  • Start from a system theme similar to your goal
  • Use the preview toggle to check changes in real-time
  • Test with actual content, not just placeholders
  • Consider readability against various image colors
