Come up with more out-of-the-box themes

Retool's new theming section is goated. Its super intuitive and aligns nicely with designers being able to implement enterprise branding kits without too much knowledge of Retool.

I think an easy way to get some more buy on here, and should be a relatively small lift, is just creating 10 themes a user can choose from without configuring it. Lots of smaller companies just want to pick and choose the entire sets without getting into the nuance.

Hey @JoeyKarczewski! Glad to hear you're enjoying the new Theming features :slight_smile:

If Retool were to offer more out-of-the-box themes beyond the built-in Light and Dark modes, are there specific kinds of themes you'd be looking for, or other tools that you think do this well?

Thats a good question - I guess just a general variety of themes that are sleek, bubbly, minimalist... or inspired by other platforms?

I'll be on the hunt for another platform that does this well.

I gave it a go - not sure how successful it is but shows more on what I mean.

I just made a couple themes that we can choose from internally & then allow a user to toggle between them. I just think big enterprises will have the UI designer and Branding kit, but smaller teams just want to choose between a couple themes that look nice.

Thanks @JoeyKarczewski for this idea and what it could look like in execution! We'll take a look at this! Appreciate it :fire:
