Default Appearance

Sets which appearance Thrive uses by default for anyone who hasn’t chosen a personal theme in their own Theme setting in their profile preferences. This never overrides a personal choice someone has already made – it only sets the starting point for new users and anyone who hasn’t touched their own setting.

Configuration	Description
Light	Displays Thrive with the standard light background and darker text
Dark	Displays Thrive with dark backgrounds and lighter text and elements
System (Default)	Follows each user’s own device or OS setting. For example, a user with dark mode enabled at the OS level sees Thrive in dark mode automatically. This is the default appearance if you haven’t chosen one yourself.
Festive, Valentine’s, Easter, World Cup, and Halloween	Seasonal appearances tied to the time of year

Pick colours from your brand guidelines to appear on buttons, links, and throughout the interface.
