Themes

A theme controls how Yaffo looks — colors, typography, spacing, and borders. Yaffo ships with several themes, and you can design your own by describing the look you want.

Open Themes from the top navigation.

The Themes page listing system and custom themes

Choose a Theme

Themes are grouped into two sections:

  • System themes ship with Yaffo — Classic, Darkroom, Neo-Brutalist, Scrapbook, Photos App, and Memphis. They can be used and copied from, but not deleted.
  • Custom themes are the ones you create.

Select a theme to preview it, then click Make default to apply it across the whole app. The current default is marked in the list.

Create a Theme

Click New theme and give it a name, such as Midnight, Pastel, or Forest. A new theme starts from the Classic look, and you shape it through a conversation.

The theme editor with the design conversation and Make default, Rename, and Delete actions

In the Conversation panel, describe how the theme should look and click Send. For example:

  • a calm, ocean-inspired light theme
  • high-contrast dark mode with warm accents
  • soft pastel palette with rounded corners

The assistant redesigns the theme and the page updates so you can see the result. Keep the conversation going to refine it — adjust colors, contrast, or spacing until it feels right.

Publish, Rename, and Delete

While you are editing, your changes are a working draft layered over the last published version:

  • Publish applies the draft so it becomes the theme everyone sees.
  • Discard throws the draft away and returns to the last published version.

From a theme's editor you can also:

  • Make default — apply the theme across the app.
  • Rename — change the theme's name. Renaming also updates the theme's web address, so any saved links to it will change.
  • Delete — remove a custom theme. System themes cannot be deleted.

Themes apply everywhere, including your Custom Pages.
