UI Themes
The admin panel supports four color themes. Your choice is saved in the browser (localStorage) and applies instantly — no reload required.
Switching themes
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| Header | Click the palette icon — cycles Dark → Light → Ocean → Forest |
| Login page | Link below the sign-in form |
| Settings → Display | Pick Default theme for new deployments (per-user override still applies) |
Available themes
Dark (default)
Slate background with cyan accents. Balanced contrast for long admin sessions — the classic Dynamic API Platform look.
Light
Bright surfaces for daytime or well-lit offices. Same layout, higher background luminance.
Ocean
Deep navy panels with teal highlights. Calm, technical aesthetic — suited to monitoring dashboards and API ops.
Forest
Charcoal green surfaces with emerald accents. Reduced eye strain in low-light environments; distinct from the default cyan palette.
Technical notes
- Themes use CSS variables (
--dap-bg,--dap-card,--dap-brand-*) onhtml[data-theme="…"] - Light disables Tailwind
dark:mode; Dark, Ocean, and Forest use dark-mode component styles - Dashboard charts adapt grid and tooltip colors per theme
- Default theme in Settings is stored server-side; active theme is per browser
