Themes — your reusable style library

Build named font and layer styles once and apply them across designs, on a schedule if you want.

A theme is a reusable style library for your account. You build it once — named text styles, named shape/layer styles and a set of theme images — and then apply it to your designs, so a whole look can be changed in one place. Themes live on the Designs page: open Designs and switch to the Themes tab.

What a theme contains

  • Font styles — named text styles, each with font family, size, weight, italic, text colour, background colour, alignment, overflow and fit, letter and word spacing, line height, wrapping, text decoration (and its style, thickness and colour), and a text shadow. Up to ten.
  • Layer styles — named styles for shapes and boxes: fill colour, border size / radius / colour, and a box shadow. Up to ten.
  • Theme images — a set of named images the theme can supply to designs. Up to ten.

Scheduling a theme

A theme can be set to auto / on / off, given a priority, and limited to a start–end date and time window — so you can have a seasonal or time-limited look take over automatically and step back afterwards.

Applying a theme to designs

Use the theme's Applies to picker (a searchable list of your designs) to choose which designs the theme drives. In a design, a layer marked themable (in its settings) is the part a theme is allowed to restyle — so you decide exactly what the theme controls.
