RecordEngine includes three professionally designed themes and a Theme Builder that lets you create a fully custom colour scheme — matching your firm’s brand colours if needed. Theme changes apply immediately for all users on the instance.

​
Changing the Theme

  1. Go to Settings → Themes (Admin only) or click the Theme option in the sidebar
  2. Select one of the three built-in themes
  3. The interface updates instantly — no restart required

Built-In Themes

Midnight

Dark background with high-contrast text. Reduces eye strain in low-light environments. Default theme for new installations.

Fresh Light

Clean white background with accent colours. Familiar and comfortable for users coming from standard office software.

Clean Pro

Neutral grey tones with a professional, enterprise feel. Well suited for client-facing demos and presentations.

​
Theme Builder

The Theme Builder lets you define a completely custom colour scheme — useful for matching your firm’s brand identity or meeting a client’s white-label requirements.

​
Opening the Theme Builder

  1. Go to Settings → Themes
  2. Click Open Theme Builder

​
Using the Colour Picker

Click any colour swatch to open the colour picker. You can:
  • Select from the visual colour wheel
  • Enter a hex code directly (e.g. #1A3A5C) for precise brand colour matching
  • Adjust brightness and saturation with the sliders
The interface previews your changes in real time as you adjust each colour.

​
Saving a Custom Theme

  1. Adjust all colour properties to your preference
  2. Click Save Theme
  3. Give your theme a name (e.g. “Acme Blue”)
  4. Click Apply
Saved custom themes appear alongside the built-in themes in the theme selector. You can create and save multiple custom themes and switch between them.

​
Resetting to a Built-In Theme

To discard your custom theme and return to a built-in:
  1. Go to Settings → Themes
  2. Click any built-in theme card
  3. Click Apply
Your custom theme definition is preserved — it is not deleted when you switch away from it. You can switch back to it at any time.

​
Theme Persistence

The active theme is stored server-side and applies to all users on the instance. There is no per-user theme setting — everyone sees the same theme. If individual users need different themes, this can be achieved by deploying separate RecordEngine instances (for example, one per team or department).
