A theme controls the entire visual appearance of a form — layout structure, colour palette, fonts, background, shape, and branding. Every form has one active theme.

​
What a theme contains

SectionWhat it controls
LayoutPage structure — how the form card, navbar, and branding are arranged
ColorsPrimary, surface, text, and background colour
TypographyFont family, title/body size, title weight
BackgroundSolid colour, gradient, or image behind the form
ShapeBorder radius for cards, inputs, and buttons
BrandingLogo, brand name, and their alignment

Theme lifecycle

                    Theme snapshot embedded in version
                    (changing theme later won't affect
                     already-published versions)
When you publish, Feedal snapshots the current theme into the form version. This means:
  • Old respondent sessions always see the theme as it was when published
  • You can safely evolve your theme without breaking live forms
  • Each version is self-contained

​
System themes vs. saved themes

System themes

10 curated presets crafted by Feedal — cover a range of aesthetics from minimal to editorial, warm to dark. Read-only; you can apply and then customise as your own.

Saved themes

Themes you’ve saved yourself. Reuse them across forms and update them at any time. Changes apply to all forms using that theme on their next publish.

​
Using the theme editor

Open the Design panel from the studio top bar (the palette icon). Two tabs appear:
  • Gallery — browse system themes and your saved themes, search, and apply with one click
  • Customise — full control over every design option; unsaved changes are shown with an amber bar at the bottom
Applying a theme from the Gallery automatically switches you to Customise so you can immediately tweak it.
Theme changes apply live to the studio canvas preview — no save required to see how it looks.
