One theme, consistent everywhere

UserGuiding's Theme editor lets you set your brand's colors, fonts, button roundness, and typography in one place. Every guide, tooltip, hotspot, modal, banner, checklist, and survey you create inherits that theme automatically, so your in-app content looks native from day one.

Need more control? Switch to the CSS tab inside any theme and write custom styles directly. Embed custom fonts via Google Fonts or your own CSS URL, toggle progress bars and step numbers on or off, and localize button text like "Next" and "Previous" into any language.
