Modify Your Widget Theme

Custom Themes can be edited. Apply your own colors, pick a different font and even apply custom CSS for advanced modifications.

Create a Custom Theme by copying an existing theme, then use the Theme Editor to set different colors and styles.

The Widget Themes page lists Custom Themes for your account, and Library Themes.

Click the copy icon to copy the theme to a new custom theme.

The new theme will be listed in your Custom Themes list and can can be edited.

The editing options are explained below.

Once you have created your new Theme don't forget to go back to your Website Settings and apply the theme to your website!
