Theme
3DPrintForge has a flexible theme system that lets you customize the appearance to your taste and use case.
Go to: https://localhost:3443/#settings → Theme
Color mode
Choose between three modes:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Light | Light background, dark text — good in well-lit rooms |
| Dark | Dark background, light text — default and recommended for monitoring |
| Auto | Follows the operating system's setting (OS dark/light) |
Change mode at the top of the theme settings or via the shortcut in the navigation bar (moon/sun icon).
Color palettes
Six preset color palettes are available:
| Palette | Primary color | Style |
|---|---|---|
| Bambu | Green (#00C853) | Default, inspired by Bambu Lab |
| Blue Night | Blue (#2196F3) | Calm and professional |
| Sunset | Orange (#FF6D00) | Warm and energetic |
| Purple | Purple (#9C27B0) | Creative and distinct |
| Red | Red (#F44336) | High contrast, eye-catching |
| Monochrome | Gray (#607D8B) | Neutral and minimalist |
Click on a palette to preview and activate it immediately.
Custom accent color
Use your own color as the accent color:
- Click Custom color below the palette selector
- Use the color picker or type a hex code (e.g.
#FF5722) - The preview updates in real time
- Click Apply to activate
:::tip Contrast Make sure the accent color has good contrast against the background. The system warns if the color may cause readability issues (WCAG AA standard). :::
Roundness
Adjust the roundness of buttons, cards, and elements:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Sharp | No rounding (rectangular style) |
| Small | Subtle rounding (4 px) |
| Medium | Standard rounding (8 px) |
| Large | Pronounced rounding (16 px) |
| Pill | Maximum rounding (50 px) |
Slide the slider to adjust manually between 0–50 px.
Density
Customize the density of the interface:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Spacious | More space between elements |
| Standard | Balanced, default setting |
| Compact | Tighter packing — more info on screen |
Compact mode is recommended for screens below 1080p or kiosk viewing.
Typography
Choose a font:
- System — uses the operating system's default font (fast to load)
- Inter — clear and modern (default choice)
- JetBrains Mono — monospace, good for data values
- Nunito — softer and more rounded style
Animations
Turn off or customize animations:
- Full — all transitions and animations active (default)
- Reduced — only necessary animations (respects OS preference)
- Off — no animations for maximum performance
:::tip Kiosk mode For kiosk viewing, enable Compact + Dark + Reduced animations for optimal performance and readability from a distance. See Kiosk Mode. :::
