Themes in ScreenCloud give you full control over the visual identity of your screens. Rather than adjusting colors and styles screen by screen, a Theme lets you define your look once and apply it consistently across your entire setup.
A Theme bundles together your brand colors, background lighting (light or dark mode), button and content styles, and image layout preferences into a single, reusable package. Once created, you can assign a Theme to any screen in just a few clicks.
Branding, Colors & Display Modes
Every Theme is built around two core brand colors. The Primary Color is used for your most prominent elements such as headers and main buttons, while the Secondary Color handles accents and supporting details. Together, they ensure your screens reflect your company's identity at a glance.
Themes also let you choose between Light Mode and Dark Mode. Light Mode delivers a crisp, clean appearance ideal for bright offices and well-lit spaces, while Dark Mode reduces glare and eye strain — perfect for low-light environments or evening displays.
Benefits of Using Themes
Using Themes keeps your branding consistent across every screen, automatically. Configure your look once and apply it wherever you need it — and changing a Theme in one place instantly updates every screen using it:
Consistent branding — your colors and style stay on-brand across every screen, automatically.
Faster setup — configure your look once and apply it to as many screens as you need.
Easy updates — change a Theme in one place and every screen using it updates instantly.
Flexible environments — switch between light and dark mode to match any space or setting.
Professional results — style options like Basic, Circular, Angular, Cards, and Arrows make it easy to achieve a polished look without design experience.

How to Create Themes
Creating a custom theme is the best way to make your screens feel like your own. Follow these short steps to design, color, and apply your look.
1. Add Your Brand Colors
Start by setting up your brand colors and giving your theme a name:
Primary Color — your main brand color, used for the most important elements like headers and buttons.
Secondary Color — your accent color for complementary details and supporting elements.
Name — give your theme a recognizable name (such as "Company Official") so you can find and apply it easily later.
2. Set Your Background Lighting
Choose how your content appears based on your environment:
Light Mode
Best for bright rooms and a crisp, clean feel.
Dark Mode
Best for low-light settings and reducing eye strain.
3. Pick Your Style
Select the shape and feel of your buttons and content boxes:
Basic — simple and standard.
Circular — soft and rounded.
Angular — sharp and modern.
Cards — organized into distinct blocks.
Arrows — great for showing movement or flow.
Random — let the system decide.
4. Adjust Your Image Layout
Control how your images fit within your design using the Crop Images toggle. Switching this on causes images to automatically expand and fill the available space, keeping your layout full and professional-looking without any empty gaps.
5. Update Your Screens
Once your theme is saved, apply it to your screens:
Navigate to the Screens section in your menu.
Select the specific screen you want to update.
Pick your new theme from the list to apply it instantly.
