Public site themes and saved appearance settings

Six visual families

The Theme page offers Association, Command, Regimental, Heritage, Editorial, and Contemporary. Each family sets the public site's spacing, corners, panel depth, content width, header, background, and heading treatment.

Association uses rounded panels and balanced spacing. Command uses compact corners and a wider layout. Regimental uses square details and a formal heading treatment. Heritage uses narrower content and ceremonial details. Editorial reduces decoration around reading content. Contemporary uses open spacing and larger rounded surfaces.

Brand colour, headings, and dark mode

A super admin selects one brand colour. Military OS generates a complementary accent and the light and dark colours for text, surfaces, borders, and actions. Required text colour pairs are checked against a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 before a theme is saved.

Heading options are Modern, using sans-serif type, and Editorial, using serif type. Dark mode can follow the visitor's system preference or be disabled so the public site stays in its light appearance.

Preview before applying

The editor previews the selected theme with the association's saved identity and homepage hero. Supporting panels are examples and preview actions are inactive. An expanded preview and light and dark preview controls are available before saving.

A named theme library

Save and use theme stores the theme under a name and applies it to the public site. Previously saved themes remain in the library and can be applied again.

Public appearance and administration

The theme changes the public association site. The admin workspace retains its platform appearance. Individual interface-colour editing and custom CSS are not provided.

Homepage content and its Overview or News-led composition are managed separately from the theme.
