👋 This article introduces themes, what they are, and how to create them.
About Themes
Courso uses themes to provide styled design elements. A theme includes styled fonts, color, button type and more.
Themes are very powerful and save a lot of time trying to change and tweak design elements versus rapidly applying them.
Each template launched has a theme applied and it can be switched to another theme at any time.
Default Company Theme
Each company can have one default theme. It means when selecting a template, the design will default to the company theme. In the creation or build it can be quickly switched to another theme.
Themes available out of the box
Courso presents a comprehensive range of themes out of the box. These have been professionally designed and can be used immediately.
Creating Themes
Courso allows creators to build their own themes and apply fonts, colors, and choose a button style.
When building a theme you can choose to base it off presets or add in your two brand primary colors (light, dark hex) and then tweak the theme from there.
When editing you can change any of the five palette colors presented and view on the left panel as well as select a color to see how that might look in a deliverable.
You can select a header and Paragraph for all, and you have the option of more granular control over Header and Paragraph, Title and Button text fonts. You can also select button style.
Once saved you can always return to do more tweaks. Any tweaks you make will reflect in any learning using the theme.
