How to create a theme

You can use the themes RobinPad ships with, import one from the community, or create your own. Check the Sizes and formats guide.

Theme editor dialog overview, header with reset and close buttons, left column with Select theme and Import theme sections plus Background section (color + texture with default swatches and Import button), Scenic shadow section (toggle + opacity slider + decorative overlay previews) and an Image processing callout; right column with Save theme form

Import the contents

Each block has an Import button and a ? with the size and format it expects. You can upload several images per block, to create variants.

Close-up of the Background section showing the section title with a help button (?), the format hint (.webp .jpg .png, max width 2400 px, ideal size 2400×1600), the Background color swatch, the Texture picker with 6 default swatches, and the wood Import button, every section in the theme editor follows this pattern

The color sections (buttons and titles) have no import button: there you pick a color instead. Each texture has a Reset to default button.
