Wisej.NET themes are collections of styles, fonts, and images that define the look and feel of components and other UI features. You can use one of the built-in themes or create your own.

See below for more information on theming and customizations.

Changing Themes

By default, new Wisej.NET applications use the Bootstrap-4 theme. The theme can be changed in several ways.

Runtime

To change the theme at runtime, use the following line in your code:

Application.LoadTheme("Bootstrap-4");

Startup

To change the theme before the application runs, you can apply it in one of two ways:

Web.config

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="Wisej.DefaultTheme" value="Bootstrap-4"/>
  </appSettings>

or

Default.json

{
    "theme": "Bootstrap-4"
}

warning

Changing the theme in the Wisej.NET Designer in Visual Studio will only show the changes at design-time. Use one of the above methods to apply it at runtime.
