GitHub user VasilijeBursac created a discussion: Creating custom dark themes in Superset
Hi everyone, I’m currently exploring custom dark theme creation in Superset and have a couple of questions: **1. Making dark themes less “pure black”** Is it possible to make the default algorithm: dark theme less dark/black — for example, to create a dark gray or dark blue theme? I know seed tokens like `colorTextBase` and `colorBgBase` (from the Ant Design Theme Editor) have a huge impact here, but their tooltips say _“PLEASE DO NOT USE this Seed Token directly in the code!”_. What’s the correct approach for creating such custom dark themes? Would it be to create a theme with `"algorithm": "dark"` and then override specific tokens (e.g., container backgrounds, main navigation bar background, card backgrounds, etc.), or is there a better approach? If so, could you share which tokens most affect the overall Superset look (main container background, navigation bar background, etc.)? **2. Dark theme versions of custom themes** What’s the recommended way to create a dark version of a custom theme? My current approach is to: - Create a new theme (`"algorithm": "dark"`) - Copy the JSON from my custom light theme (`"algorithm": "default"`) - Change or add specific tokens for a different look or better visibility/contrast However, this leads to duplication and redundancy. Is there a way to apply the dark algorithm to an existing custom light theme and then only override the specific tokens that need changing, instead of copying the entire light theme JSON? I’d appreciate any insights or best practices on this. @mistercrunch @msyavuz @rusackas Thanks in advance. Best regards!
