# Theming Superset
:::note
apache-superset>=6.0
:::
Superset now rides on **Ant Design v5's token-based theming**.
Every Antd token works, plus a handful of Superset-specific ones for charts and dashboard chrome.
## Managing Themes via CRUD Interface
Superset now includes a built-in **Theme Management** interface accessible from the admin menu under **Settings > Themes**.
### Creating a New Theme
1. Navigate to **Settings > Themes** in the Superset interface
2. Click **+ Theme** to create a new theme
3. Use the [Ant Design Theme Editor](https://ant.design/theme-editor) to design your theme:
- Design your palette, typography, and component overrides
- Open the `CONFIG` modal and copy the JSON configuration
4. Paste the JSON into the theme definition field in Superset
5. Give your theme a descriptive name and save
You can also extend with Superset-specific tokens (documented in the default theme object) before you import.
### Applying Themes to Dashboards
Once created, themes can be applied to individual dashboards:
- Edit any dashboard and select your custom theme from the theme dropdown
- Each dashboard can have its own theme, allowing for branded or context-specific styling
## Alternative: Instance-wide Configuration
For system-wide theming, you can configure default themes via Python configuration:
### Setting Default Themes
```python
# superset_config.py
# Default theme (light mode)
THEME_DEFAULT = {
"token": {
"colorPrimary": "#2893B3",
"colorSuccess": "#5ac189",
# ... your theme JSON configuration
}
}
# Dark theme configuration
THEME_DARK = {
"algorithm": "dark",
"token": {
"colorPrimary": "#2893B3",
# ... your dark theme overrides
}
}
# Theme behavior settings
THEME_SETTINGS = {
"enforced": False, # If True, forces default theme always
"allowSwitching": True, # Allow users to switch between themes
"allowOSPreference": True, # Auto-detect system theme preference
}
```
### Copying Themes from CRUD Interface
To use a theme created via the CRUD interface as your system default:
1. Navigate to **Settings > Themes** and edit your desired theme
2. Copy the complete JSON configuration from the theme definition field
3. Paste it directly into your `superset_config.py` as shown above
Restart Superset to apply changes.
## Theme Development Workflow
1. **Design**: Use the [Ant Design Theme Editor](https://ant.design/theme-editor) to iterate on your design
2. **Test**: Create themes in Superset's CRUD interface for testing
3. **Apply**: Assign themes to specific dashboards or configure instance-wide
4. **Iterate**: Modify theme JSON directly in the CRUD interface or re-import from the theme editor
## Custom Fonts
Superset supports custom fonts through runtime configuration, allowing you to use branded or custom typefaces without rebuilding the application.
### Configuring Custom Fonts
Add font URLs to your `superset_config.py`:
```python
# Load fonts from Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or self-hosted sources
CUSTOM_FONT_URLS = [
"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap",
"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400;500&display=swap",
]
# Update CSP to allow font sources
TALISMAN_CONFIG = {
"content_security_policy": {
"font-src": ["'self'", "https://fonts.googleapis.com", "https://fonts.gstatic.com"],
"style-src": ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'", "https://fonts.googleapis.com"],
}
}
```
### Using Custom Fonts in Themes
Once configured, reference the fonts in your theme configuration:
```python
THEME_DEFAULT = {
"token": {
"fontFamily": "Inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif",
"fontFamilyCode": "JetBrains Mono, Monaco, monospace",
# ... other theme tokens
}
}
```
Or in the CRUD interface theme JSON:
```json
{
"token": {
"fontFamily": "Inter, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif",
"fontFamilyCode": "JetBrains Mono, Monaco, monospace"
}
}
```
### Font Sources
- **Google Fonts**: Free, CDN-hosted fonts with wide variety
- **Adobe Fonts**: Premium fonts (requires subscription and kit ID)
- **Self-hosted**: Place font files in `/static/assets/fonts/` and reference via CSS
This feature works with the stock Docker image - no custom build required!
## Advanced Features
- **System Themes**: Superset includes built-in light and dark themes
- **Per-Dashboard Theming**: Each dashboard can have its own visual identity
- **JSON Editor**: Edit theme configurations directly within Superset's interface
- **Custom Fonts**: Load external fonts via configuration without rebuilding
