Help:Theme Designer

The Theme Designer is an easy to use admin tool that allows you to quickly customize your wikia's theme and wordmark. Choose from a pre-set theme or design your own unique theme that fits your wikia's topic and community.

Step-by-Step

 * As an admin of a wikia, you can find a link to Theme Designer in the My Tools menu on the toolbar, or in the Admin Dashboard. You can also navigate to it directly by visiting the page, Special:ThemeDesigner, on your wikia.


 * You can access three tabs:
 * Themes: Choose from a variety of pre-set themes, which can be used in whole or modified.
 * Customize: Define background and page attributes.
 * Wordmark: Design how the wikia's name displays, upload a unique graphic wordmark, or add a favicon.


 * Every change made is immediately seen on the preview below, so you can see how your theme will look before you save it.
