Choose how your activities look
See which theme students get, preview any theme, and pick one for a workspace, the organisation or one activity.
A theme sets how your activities look to students: the colours, the typefaces and how round the corners are. Open Configuration › Themes.
What students see now
The line at the top says which theme students in your workspace see, and why: chosen for this workspace, chosen for the whole organisation, or Taktyl's own because nothing else is chosen. Press See what students see to view it as they do.
Look through the themes
The tabs below are the three places a theme can live: your workspace, your organisation, and Taktyl, which holds Taktyl's own theme. Each card shows the theme's colours and typefaces, and says if it is the default anywhere or if a contrast check fails.
Press Preview on a card to see that theme on a sample activity. Back to themes returns you to the list.
Choose a default
Open a theme's ⋯ menu:
- Use for followed by your workspace's name makes it the default in this workspace. A leader of the workspace can do this.
- Use for the whole organisation makes it the default everywhere that has not chosen its own. An organisation admin can do this.
To go back to the organisation's choice in your workspace, press Follow the organisation's theme at the top.
A theme whose contrast checks fail cannot be a default until it passes. Fix it in the theme editor first.
One activity, its own theme
An activity can wear a different theme from its workspace. Open the activity's Settings tab, and under Look choose a Theme, then press Save settings. The default follows the workspace's choice.
Students get the theme the activity had when you last published it. After you change a theme or a default, publish the activity again to show students the new look.
