We are excited to introduce Jatra Themes and UI Customization options. If you've ever felt the need to tweak your community's look and feel - we now present you with UNLIMITED options to customize your Jatra-powered community.

Today, we've rolled out the beta version of Jatra's UI Customization options along with two default themes.

You can now:

  1. Open a Live Theme Designer Panel directly from Admin settings

  2. See color changes in real time while browsing community pages

  3. customize the light and dark mode colors separately

  4. Save your custom theme and activate it when ready

  5. Use official Jatra system themes as a starting point

  6. Switch appearance mode between Light, Dark or System.

...and it's all natively supported. No dependency on plugins - ever!


What is new in practical terms?

  1. No-code theme editing

    Every major UI color is controlled through simple color pickers and hex inputs. You can quickly align your community with your brand colors without writing CSS.

  2. Live preview across pages

    The designer floats with you while you navigate, so you can instantly validate colors on feed, post pages, sidebars, buttons, and widgets.

  3. Better safety rails

    We added validation and guardrails so common mistakes are harder to make:

    • Theme names now have clear limits

    • Duplicate themes are blocked

    • Unsaved drafts cannot be activated

    • Error states are more visible

  4. Cleaner theme management

    UI Customisation now separates:

    • Your Custom Themes

    • Jatra System Themes

So your team can experiment freely, while official defaults stay untouched.
