Customize the selected theme to your preference:
-
Background: Adjust the background and set the appropriate scale. For background, you can select an image from our library, search on Google, or upload a personal image from your device.
-
Font Family: Adjust the font family to align the text of the chapter, page, and other user interface elements with your brand guidelines.
-
Font Size: Alter the font size to match your requirements.
-
Color: Modify the color of your course title, chapter text, page text, and buttons to suit your aesthetic.
Click Save. A pop-up will open.
Enter a name to save your customizations as a new theme.
Your saved theme will appear under the User Theme section, as shown below.
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 manually reapply the updated theme 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.
