Themes

Element Themes are based on standard Tailwind config files. They can be built by hand or inside of the Theme Studio in Elements.

Themes are a set of pre-configured values based on the available settings inside of the Theme Studio. The gif below shows how a site can look radically different depending on the theme chosen.
