# Add theme

> Create a reusable colour and font palette for reports and dashboards.

A **theme** is a reusable bundle of visual tokens — primary colour, ten chart colours, canvas and header colours, font, border radius, and shadow — plus cover-page and thank-you-page designs. You apply themes to projects to keep reports and dashboards on-brand.

Themes live in the **Themes** panel inside the **project editor** — there's no standalone Themes page. Open any project, then open the **Themes** panel from the editor sidebar.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a project's Themes panel">
    In the project editor sidebar, open the **Themes** panel. It lists every theme on your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New Theme">
    At the bottom of the panel, click **New Theme** to open the theme editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the theme">
    Click the theme name in the editor header and type a clear name like *Acme Brand*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a primary colour">
    Set the **Primary colour**. Oviond auto-derives the ten chart colours (`chart1`–`chart10`) from it. Under **Charts**, switch the **Palette mode** between **Tonal** and **Contrast**, or open **Edit chart colours** to override any individual colour.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set canvas, typography, and styling">
    Under **Canvas**, choose the **Header background**, canvas colours, **Radius**, **Shadow**, and **Font**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose where it applies and save">
    Set **Apply to** (Current project, This client's projects, or All projects), optionally toggle **Set as default theme**, then click **Save and apply**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The auto-derived chart palette works for most brands. If your brand mandates a full colour spec, open **Edit chart colours** and set each of the ten chart colours before saving.
