Creating Custom Themes for In-Page Experiences

In this topic you will learn how to create custom themes for use in Gallery In-Page Experiences.

Themes provide a pre-defined set of colors and fonts which can be used to quickly style In-Page Experiences. Gallery provides a set of default themes but you can also create your own, custom themes. Any custom themes that are created are shared across a Video Cloud account. Once a theme is applied to an In-Page Experience, you can then use the styling options to further customize the appearance of the experience.

Editing a theme

For example, a corporate theme is created, Corporate Theme, and the overlay text color is set to red. A new In-Page Experience is created and the overlay text color is changed to blue. If someone applies the Corporate Theme to this new experience, all of the style changes will be replaced with the styles specified in the Corporate Theme except the overlay text color as that style was changed earlier.
