Theme Customization

How to customize the look of your documentation platform

Theme Customization

Customize the visual appearance of your documentation with theme settings. You can configure colors, typography, and preview changes in real-time before applying them to your live docs.

What You Can Customize

Colors - Configure your documentation's color palette across three categories:

  • Brand & Primary: Core brand color and primary action colors for buttons and links
  • Backgrounds & Surfaces: Page background, card backgrounds, sidebar, and muted backgrounds
  • Interactive & Accents: Accent colors, borders, and dividers

Each color can be customized separately for light mode and dark mode.

Typography - Configure two font families:

  • Body Font: Used for paragraphs, headings, and UI elements
  • Code Font: Used for code blocks and inline code snippets

Theme Presets - Choose from pre-built themes including Black & White, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, and Purple. Presets automatically configure colors for both light and dark modes.

Using the Theme Editor

Follow these steps to customize and apply your theme:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Themes in your dashboard
  2. Use the Light/Dark toggle to preview your theme in different modes
  3. Select a preset or customize individual colors using the color controls
  4. Configure custom fonts by pasting Google Fonts URLs
  5. Preview your changes in real-time with the live preview panel
  6. Click Apply Theme to deploy changes to your documentation site

Adding Custom Fonts from Google Fonts

To use custom fonts from Google Fonts in your documentation:

  1. Visit fonts.google.com
  2. Select the font you want to use
  3. Click Get font and select the font weights you need (e.g., 400, 500, 600, 700)
  4. Click the Embed tab in the sidebar
  5. Copy only the URL from the last <link> tag in the embed code
  6. Paste the URL into either the Body Font or Code Font field in the theme settings

Potential Issues

Font Availability Delay

For newer google fonts, it may not be immediately available for use. If your deployment fails after changing fonts, try selecting a different font. Also contact us in the Support menu and let us know if we're missing new fonts
