Customizing Your Theme in Kajoo
This user guide provides instructions on how to customize your Kajoo theme effectively. It covers how to add and configure essential elements such as color palettes, breakpoints, and fonts, ensuring your design system is cohesive and adaptable. Additionally, it outlines other key theme settings to help you fine-tune various UI components and create a personalized user experience across devices.
Adding Color Palettes
In Kajoo, color palettes are integral to your design system. You can define primary, secondary, and tertiary color schemes, as well as any additional shades you might need. By creating a defined color palette, you ensure that your design system stays consistent in its color usage.
How to Add a Color Palette:
-
Navigate to the "Colors" section within your theme editor.
-
Define colors by their HEX, RGB, or HSL values.
-
Assign colors to different elements like buttons, links, or backgrounds.
Defining Breakpoints
Breakpoints allow you to adapt your design system to different screen sizes. By setting breakpoints, you ensure that your design is responsive and looks great on all devices, from mobile phones to large desktop monitors.
How to Add Breakpoints:
-
In your theme settings, define breakpoints based on your desired screen sizes (e.g., mobile, tablet, desktop).
-
Use these breakpoints in your CSS to apply different styles for different screen sizes, ensuring your app adapts to all devices.
Adding Fonts (Google and Custom)
Typography plays a vital role in creating a visually cohesive design system. Kajoo allows you to use both Google Fonts and custom fonts to ensure your design aligns with your branding.
How to Add Fonts:
-
Google Fonts: Select and integrate Google Fonts directly into your theme editor.
