Style your app

Defiining your application theme and styling

Softr empowers you to create visually stunning, functional applications with ease. One of the key components of building a great app is styling it to reflect your brand and meet your users’ expectations. Softr provides a comprehensive suite of styling features that cater to both beginners and advanced users.

Theme settings

The Themesection in Softr allows you to set global design elements, ensuring consistency across your application. Here’s what you can configure:

  • Fonts: Choose font families and weights for both headers and body text to match your branding.

  • Color schemes for Text, Accent, Background

  • Size: the default app size used throughout your app.

Block styling

While global settings ensure uniformity, block-specific styles give you granular control over individual elements. Access the Styles tab in the settings sidebar of each block to adjust things like:

  • Background color: Choose a custom background color to make blocks stand out or blend seamlessly into your design.

  • Padding: Control the space above and below block content for better visual balance.

  • Borders: Add borders to the top and bottom of blocks, specifying styles, widths, and colors.

  • Colors, size, and font of individual elements like cards, top bar section, and item fields.

Custom code for advanced styling

If you’re limited with the default styling options, Softr’s custom code block allows for deep customization by adding HTML, CSS, or JavaScript anywhere in your application.

Read the OpenAPI description. It is built from the same definitions as the tools, so it always matches what the endpoints do.
