Set Dark/Light Theme
By default, Homarr will install with a light theme. To toggle between a dark and light theme, you need to access the application at container level. To achieve this, we have added an option to the install/upgrade command of Homarr. For example, to toggle a dark or light theme, follow the instructions provided below.
- Connect to your Ultra service via SSH
- Execute an install/upgrade action for Homarr:
- Set dark theme:
app-homarr upgrade --color-theme='dark'
- Set light theme:
app-homarr upgrade --color-theme='light'
