Appearance Customization
The ASP.NET Core Dashboard uses light colors by default. You can change the color scheme or use compact themes designed to fit many elements on a web page. This topic describes how to change the color scheme used to paint a Web Dashboard.
Color Schemes
The ASP.NET Core Dashboard control allows you to apply the Light or Dark color scheme.
| Light | Dark |
|---|---|
 |

You can use the following values to define the Web Dashboard’s color scheme:
| Color scheme | Description |
|---|---|
| light | Identifies the Light color scheme. |
| light.compact | Identifies the Light compact color scheme. |
| dark | Identifies the Dark color scheme. |
| dark.compact | Identifies the Dark compact color scheme. |
To apply a required color scheme, pass its name to the DashboardStyleSheetsSettingsBuilder.ColorScheme method using the lambda expression.
