Theme Templates

Theme templates give you a professionally designed starting point. Choose a template and then customize it to match your brand.

Available templates

Slate includes two categories of pre-built templates:

Subtle templates

Clean, minimal designs that work for most courses:

Template	Description
Slate	Minimal black and white design
Classic Blue	Clean, professional light theme
Ocean Breeze	Cool blue tones with a calm feel
Forest Green	Natural green palette
Sunset Orange	Warm, energetic orange tones

Bold templates

Dramatic designs with custom CSS for more visual impact:

Template	Description
Midnight Aurora	Dark theme with vibrant purple accents and glass effects
Classic Dark	Clean, professional dark mode

Bold templates include custom CSS that applies gradient backgrounds, refined typography, and other advanced styling.

Applying a template

Open the theme editor for your course
Go to the Templates section
Click a template to apply it instantly

Applying a template updates your primary color, hover color, outline color, border radius, and spacing. Bold templates also apply custom CSS.

The active template shows a checkmark to indicate which template matches your current settings.

Remix

Click the Remix button to apply a randomly selected theme from a pool of additional color schemes. This is a quick way to explore different looks and find inspiration.

Customizing after applying

Templates are a starting point. After applying a template, you can adjust any setting in the Colors, Fonts, or Layout sections. Your customizations override the template values.

Reusing themes across courses

To apply the same theme to multiple courses:

Save as Default Theme - your current settings become the default for all new courses
Export/Import - download your theme as a JSON file and import it into another course
