Themes

SD.Next supports two native theme engines plus option to disable it completely to use external themes:

Set Themes

Set theme via UI: settings -> user interface

• theme type: modern, standard, none
  note: none disables native theme engine and is used
  for gradio built-in themes, huggingface 3rd party themes and custom extension based themes
• theme name
• theme mode
  to force light/dark or leave it as os-default (auto)

Set theme via CLI: --theme theme-type/theme-name

• theme default defaults to standard/black-teal
• optional theme types: standard, modern, gradio, huggingface
  if theme type is not specified, it will default to standard
• if theme name is not specified, it will default to:
  • default for modern
  • black-teal for standard
  • gradio/default for gradio
  • huggingface/none for huggingface
• theme param can additionally be used to enable to specific theme extension:
  • lobe
  • cozy-next

Selected theme type and name will be shown in the log on startup
example:

11:41:37-649897 DEBUG    UI themes available: type=Standard themes=12
11:41:37-650510 INFO     UI theme: type=Standard name="black-teal" style=Auto
11:41:37-651747 DEBUG    UI theme: css="/home/vlado/dev/sdnext/javascript/black-teal.css" base="sdnext.css" user="None"

or:

11:42:42-946642 DEBUG    UI themes available: type=Modern themes=22
11:42:42-947313 INFO     UI theme: type=Modern name="sdxl_alpha" style=Auto
11:42:42-948546 DEBUG    UI theme: css="extensions-builtin/sdnext-modernui/themes/sdxl_alpha.css" base="base.css" user="None"

Switching themes

Once you set theme type, themes of type standard and modern can be switched on the fly without restarts

Creating Custom Themes

See User Themes for details on creating custom themes

Modern Themes

Important

Any issues related to modern ui should be reported at: https://github.com/BinaryQuantumSoul/sdnext-modernui/issues

Gradio Themes

• Gradio default
• Gradio base
• Gradio soft
• Gradio glass
• Gradio monochrome

Use of Gradio themes disables built-in theme engine and uses Gradio theme engine instead
Gradio themes are not optimized for SDNext and will likely cause some UI components to look out of place

Huggingface Themes

When you refresh list of themes using System -> Settings -> User Interface -> Themes -> Refresh
SD.Next will download list of 3rd party Gradio themes hosted on Huggingface

Note that formatting of UI components in that case depends on theme itself and is outside of SD.Next control

Extensions

SDNext also supports custom themes via extensions
Currently listed are cozy-next and lobe themes, however those themes are not updated for recent SDNext releases - please contact extension authors for updates
