Communities themes allow you to customize the appearance of your group interface to match your preferences. Themes can be adjusted for both light and dark modes, and you can either choose from predefined themes or create your own custom theme.

Choosing a New Theme

If you use multiple groups, try selecting a different theme for each one to help you tell them apart. Your new theme will appear in the broser.

  • Light or Dark Mode:

    In the Themes section, you can switch between Light Mode and Dark Mode using the buttons at the top.


  • Select a Predefined Theme:

    Select Communities theme tab and scroll through the list of available themes. Click on a theme to preview it. Once you find a theme you like, it will automatically apply to your Communities interface.


Note: Themes are reflected only in Web and not mobile.




Creating a Custom Theme

As a group owner/admin, in the "Custom Themes" tab, users can customize various components of the group interface. For each mode i.e. Light Mode and Dark Mode, the admin will have to customise and Save the customisations separately.
