About themes

Themes enable you to customize and brand the look and feel of navbars and page backgrounds. Themes do not control the type of links navbars can contain. When you create a theme, there are two colors in the theme you can configure to ensure a consistent user experience and adhere to your organization's branding guidelines: the Primary Color and Accent Color. The Primary Color modifies the background of the link area in the navbar and units in Lessons (each lesson and folder in a unit displays the same color, only lighter), if enabled. The Accent Color modifies the thin color strip above the navbar.

Note: If no color is specified for the Primary Color, the default “rainbow” colour scheme is used in Lessons, if enabled.

At the course offering level, all themes listed on the Themes page contain information about whether a theme is shared from another org unit and the name of the org unit sharing the theme.

If your permissions do not allow you to create themes, you must select from existing themes or use the default theme.

Themes created in an org unit are automatically shared with child org units.

Themes created at the course level cannot be shared with other courses, but you can create and store them inside a course template to make them available in course offerings that use the course template.
