How to customize the colours of your dashboard

There are two ways to customize the look of your dashboards in DashThis:

1- Preset Themes

2- Custom Themes

 

1- Preset Themes

 

You can easily apply any of our 12 preset themes to your dashboard. DashThis designed these themes to give any plan quick and easy access to a different design.

 

Colour Themes

If you create a custom template or if you clone your dashboard with your preset theme, for now, the DashThis default theme will always be applied. You will need to go into your dashboard and change the theme. 

 

At any moment, you can remove the colour theme you've applied by reopening the same panel and selecting the DashThis default theme.
