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-*) on html[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
