Your theme
Change any setting of the platform theme for yourself, see it in the preview, then save it in this browser.
For: Founder, Team developer, Product owner, Project lead, Tester, Solo builder, Admin
How the page works
- The settings are on one side and a preview on the other: a small page with a menu, cards, statuses, a table and a form drawn in your draft. The settings scroll; the preview stays in view. On a narrow screen a compact preview stays above the settings, and Expand preview shows it whole.
- A change is a draft: only the preview shows it, the rest of CorPole keeps your saved theme. Save changes keeps the draft in this browser (another browser keeps its own) and the page repaints in it; Cancel goes back to what you saved; Reset this level clears every setting you changed, so the platform's theme applies again once you save.
- Each setting shows where its value comes from. Use inherited value drops your own value for that one setting and takes the platform's.
- Search theme settings at the top finds a setting by its name or by why it is not available.
- Leaving the page, reloading it or going back with an unsaved draft asks first. Where the browser cannot ask before going back, the draft is kept: when you open the page again, a note offers Restore changes or Discard.
- If your theme was changed elsewhere since the page opened (in the account menu or another tab), the page says so and Reload shows it; nothing is overwritten without you seeing it.
The settings
| Group | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Colour | The palette (search it by name; the Special group sets its own frame and light levels), its centre tone (what is selected, primary buttons, links and information; each palette suggests one), the light level (Light near white, Tinted, Deep, Dark near black; Follow device takes Dark on a dark device), contrast, colour amount, colour distribution and the marker (centre tone or the palette's accent for selection, focus and links). |
| Surfaces | The material (Opaque, Glass, Gradient, Line or Paper) and corners. With Glass its transparency and frosting, with Paper its texture; with another material these rows stay in the list, greyed out, with the material they need. |
| Backdrop | The small one-colour pattern on the page is the platform's. You may keep its strength or turn it off (None); with Line there is no pattern. |
| Frame and layers | The frame (the top bar and the left menus' surface) and how the two left menus stand apart: stacking, layer step, layer colour, layer hue, layer contrast and whether the steps hold on Paper and Line. |
| Type | The text size of every page (Standard, Large, Larger) and the page title size. The font pairing is CorPole's and is shown as not offered. |
| Motion | How much things move when they open and change. Replay motion in the preview shows it; with reduced motion on your device, movement stays off whatever you choose. |
A setting that does not apply to your other choices stays in the list, greyed out, and says what it needs (for example Available with Glass). A value the platform no longer allows is named at the top with a way to it and Use the inherited values.
Colour carries only a closed list of meanings whatever you choose: negative, attention, positive, information (the centre tone) and neutral. See Visual language.
