Manage UI Themes

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Symphony supports themes for the UI. Several themes are supplied when you install Symphony. See Supplied Themes.

You can define and use your own themes. To manage themes, your Symphony user must be assigned to a group with the Administer Themes (ROLE_ADMINISTER_THEMES) privilege enabled. See Group Privilege Reference .

At this time, you can only tailor theme colors. Other tailoring properties (such as fonts or font sizes) should not be changed.

Themes are defined, controlled, and managed using the customization/themes API endpoint. Any changes you make to the theme are applied for all users in the account. Users in other accounts are not affected.

You can specify a master theme in the theme JSON using the masterThemeID property. Master themes are optional, but allow you to identify the Symphony-supplied theme from which properties should be inherited by a custom theme, if the properties are not specified in the custom theme JSON. Master themes can only be Symphonys- supplied themes. See Supplied Themes.
