FAQs
Can I apply a saved theme to multiple courses at once?
Yes. Once a theme is saved under “User Themes,†you can apply it to any course by opening that course’s settings and selecting the theme from the list.
What happens if I update a saved theme—will it change for all courses using it?
No. Changes to a saved theme won't automatically reflect across existing courses. You’ll need to reapply the updated theme manually to each course.
Is there a recommended logo size or aspect ratio for best fit?
We recommend uploading logos with a horizontal aspect ratio (e.g., 3:1) and under 2 MB in size for best compatibility across devices.
Can I preview a theme before saving or applying it?
Yes. Use the preview area in the customization panel to test background images, fonts, and colors before saving the theme or applying it to a course.
Why is my background image pixelated or stretched?
Low-resolution images or images with incompatible aspect ratios may appear distorted. Try uploading a high-quality image that matches common screen dimensions (like 1920x1080 pixels).
Are theme settings different for desktop and mobile users?
The theme you create is responsive and will adjust to mobile screens, but elements like background images may crop differently. Test on both devices for best results.
