Pick a theme

A theme sets the whole guide's layout, fonts, colours and corners. Pick one in the guide's Design tab; you can switch any time, and nothing about your pages changes.

1. 1

   Open Design

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Open the guide and choose Design. Only Guides admins can change it; everyone else can look around.

2. 2

   Try the themes

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Choose a theme under Theme. The Preview updates at once. Use Light and Dark above the preview to see both.

3. 3

   Save it

   #Copy sectionAsk about this

   Choose Save design, or Reset to go back to what's saved. Readers see the new design after the next publish.

These are the same Acme pages, published in each theme with no brand colours.

A sidebar layout. Calm and familiar: a page tree on the left, the page, and its contents on the right. The Markdrop docs use it.

Serif headings and a centred, narrower reading column. Sections are links under the header instead of a sidebar.

Dense and API-first: a smaller type size, sharp corners, monospaced labels and dark code blocks even in the light theme.

No sidebar chrome and lots of air: sections under the header, one centred column, no divider lines.

Round and bold: rounded buttons and search box, heavier navigation, cards that lift on hover.

Search first, then categories: the home page is a search box over cards for each group, and articles show the other articles in their category.

On top of a theme you can add your logo and colours, change the fonts, colour mode and corners, and add custom CSS. See Brand and style.
