Hey @revote ?,

With some custom CSS wizardry from the Digits team, they were able to align with their brand ? For example https://digits.com/.

Unfortunately it isn’t a theme that can be applied out of the box and isn’t currently on our roadmap. There is this open idea on inSpired:

Okay, it is custom CSS solution. For some reason it is difficult to imagine when you say “with some custom..” ?

Yeah, I have voted it already. Can I somehow give some extra votes there ?

Yes indeed they put in a good amount of work to achieve this. Looking at their code, it’s roughly 1000 lines of CSS.

Haha unfortunately not, we’re running a democratic system here on inSpired 😂

Can I ask how offer you have to update your custom CSS, to avoid any issues if/when inSided updates something?

@revote actually, very rarely. If I recall correctly, maybe one or two updates in the past year and they were not large updates by any means. 

One thing we are having to adjust for is the email backgrounds from the open beta of Insided’s email launch

Sounds good. So it was huge job to build “dark theme” using CSS but it doesnt require much to maintain it.
