Administration

Appearance: theme and brand

Everything about how WorkBOS looks is on one page: Administration ▸ Appearance. It used to be split across a Themes entry, a Brand entry and a pair of tabs inside Settings, which meant the same control could be reached two ways. If you have an old link to Settings ▸ Brand or Settings ▸ Themes it still works and brings you here.

TabWhat it setsWho can change it
ThemeThe layout, palette and density everyone in the workspace sees.Owner and admin.
ThemeYour own theme, when the workspace has switched personal themes on.Anyone in the workspace.
BrandLogo, brand name, primary and accent colour, and invoice and receipt defaults.Owner and admin. Brand name needs a plan that includes white-label.

If you sell WorkBOS under your own brand, your brand name, logo and two colours are kept the same everywhere. The Brand tab here and Reseller ▸ Branding feed one brand, so your app, your emails and your public pages always match. One exception: a logo saved as a picture file on this page stays in the app, and emails keep the web logo from Reseller ▸ Branding. A brand name with the characters < > & " ' or more than 60 characters also stays on this page only.

Light and dark is not on this page on purpose. It is a personal choice on every device, from the toggle in the top bar, because it is about the room you are sitting in rather than about the company.

The workspace NAME is not here either. It is an identity field and lives in Settings ▸ Workspace, alongside the rest of your business profile.

Style is a second choice beside the colour theme. The theme picks the colours; the style picks the shape: corners, borders, shadows and surfaces. There are ten: Standard, Minimal, Flat, Material, Skeuomorphic, Soft (neumorphic), Glass, Bento, Neo-brutalism and Clay. Each is shown as a small live preview, so you can see it before you pick it. Owners and admins set the workspace style on this page; when the workspace lets people choose their own theme, each person can also pick their own style or follow the workspace. Dark mode stays a personal toggle in the top bar and works with every style. A white-label workspace carries its style onto its own domain and sign-in page too.
