Umbraco Theme
What is it?
Themes in Umbraco allow you to customize the visual appearance of the backoffice. They can override CSS custom properties to change colors, typography, and other visual elements. This enables dark mode, high contrast, custom branding, or any other visual theme. Users can select themes from their profile settings.
