Choosing a Theme
Themes define the overall visual style of your website, setting defaults for colors, typography, and component appearance. Choose from carefully crafted presets or use them as starting points for customization.
What Themes Control
Themes establish the foundation for your site's visual identity:
| Element | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Colors | Background, text, accent, and brand colors |
| Typography | Font families, sizes, line heights |
| Spacing | Consistent margins and padding |
| Components | Button styles, form elements, navigation |
| Mode | Light or dark appearance |
