Theming

Learn how to apply different themes to your Wisej.NET application.

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"
}

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.
