Make and edit a theme

Start from Taktyl's theme or another one, then set its typefaces, corners and seven colours.

A leader of a workspace can make themes for that workspace. An organisation admin can make themes for the whole organisation. Everyone else can look at themes and preview them.

Make a theme

Go to Configuration › Themes.
Open your workspace's tab or your organisation's tab and press New theme. Or open the Taktyl tab and press Duplicate Taktyl's theme. To copy any other theme, choose Duplicate on its ⋯ menu.
Give it a Name. If you can make themes in more than one place, choose Where it lives.
Press Make theme.

The new theme starts with the colours, typefaces and corners of the theme it came from.

Edit it

Press Edit on the theme's card. The settings are on the left, and What students see on the right shows your changes as you make them.

Typeface: choose one for Headings and one for Body.
Feel: choose the Corners: None, S, M or L.
Colour roles: seven colours. Brand colours buttons, links and highlights. Headings, Text, Background, Background alternative, Positive and Caution follow. A colour you leave alone is worked out for you. Press the cross beside one you set to go back to the worked-out colour.

Pre-fill colours from Brand gives you a full set that goes with your Brand colour and is easy to read. Press Use these colours to fill them in. They are not saved yet: press Save now, or Undo.

Contrast checks

When a colour is hard to read against another, its row says so and suggests a colour that passes. Its button reads Use, the colour, then and save: pressing it changes the colour and saves the theme straight away. You can save a theme that fails a check, but it cannot be a default until it passes.

Save

Press Save theme. The name at the top can be changed here too. Themes at the top left takes you back.

Delete

Choose Delete on the theme's ⋯ menu. It does not go to the Bin: deleting is final. Anywhere it was the default goes back to the organisation's theme, or Taktyl's own.
