Theme

This article provides an overview of how each setting in the Theme section of your dashboard changes the look and feel of your Thrive platform.

Accessing the Theme Configuration

To access these options, in the Thrive menu, go to Configure > Platform settings > Theme.

Platform settings interface showing theme options for user customization and selection.

Sections

Default Theme

Sets the theme 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	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.

Note:
If you haven't set a Default Theme, Thrive uses Dark for anyone without a personal theme.
