Theming

Apply a named theme class to <body> or any parent element. All VelocityUI components inside that element will automatically adopt its colors, shadows, and effects. Combine with a density modifier for complete control:

css

/* Pick any named theme */
<body class="vui-theme-ocean">

/* Add a density modifier (optional) */
<body class="vui-theme-midnight vui-density-compact">
<body class="vui-theme-construction vui-density-spacious">

/* Available themes */
/* default  midnight  ocean */
/* construction  glass  soft  high-contrast  monochrome-red */

/* Available densities */
/* vui-density-compact  vui-density-comfortable  vui-density-spacious */
