Themes

HighQ Publisher offers extensive customisation options that allow you to create a superior user experience while maintaining brand consistency. By leveraging a wide range of theming options, including colour schemes, typography, and layout configurations, you can tailor the look and feel of your HighQ Publisher instance to align perfectly with your clients' specific branding requirements. This level of customisation not only enhances brand recognition but also reinforces brand identity by delivering content experiences that seamlessly integrate with your clients' existing branding elements. Ultimately, this results in a unique, visually appealing, and cohesive brand experience that can significantly improve user engagement and satisfaction.

When it comes to theming, you have two choices: you can either customise your own design by modifying the default theme, or you can select from our range of pre-designed, ready-to-use themes. Both options offer flexibility to suit your specific needs and preferences.

Creating a bespoke theme grants you complete control over the design elements. You can thoroughly personalise every aspect using the customisation section, as well as fine-tune the appearance and functionality through direct manipulation of the JavaScript and CSS files.

With the release of version 5.8.10, we have implemented streamlined colour customisation using new Primary and Secondary colour selectors. These selectors automatically update multiple elements and simplify the user interface by incorporating an accordion feature, which highlights key settings for an immediate visual transformation. Additionally, this update improves user experience by making theme personalisation more intuitive and efficient, reducing the number of required clicks.

The Basic Customisation interface offers a simplified approach for users who want to easily modify the primary and secondary colours. This feature ensures a cohesive and user-friendly design experience by automatically updating various theme elements.

When a primary colour (e.g., #404040) is selected, the system will automatically adjust several associated properties. These modifications include but are not limited to the following:

When a secondary colour is chosen, the system will automatically update various properties including the following:

The Advanced Customisation interface provides more granular control for users who require greater flexibility. This option allows for manual adjustments to individual theme properties, offering more comprehensive customisation capabilities.
