Vue Bootstrap 5 Theme
Theming system enables you to customize the appearance of all MDB components.
Appearance customization options enable you to create skins for your Bootstrap 5 project. Use predefined dark theme, light theme or create custom themes.
See an example of a dark-theme created using our theme system.
Create a new theme
Creating a theme requires recompiling the scss styles, for this purpose we recommend using Vue CLI with CSS Pre-processor (e.g. dart-sass).
Creating a new theme requires that you define primary and secondary colors for your application. We prepared functions and mixins that will help you to create a ready to use theme using these colors.
Go to your project created with Vue CLI, open
App.vue file located in /src directory and add the following code:
<style lang="scss">
@import "mdb-vue-ui-kit/src/scss/index.pro.scss";
$my-theme-primary: #9c27b0; // theme primary color, change this value to customize theme
$my-theme-secondary: #69f0ae; // theme secondary color, change this value to customize theme
$my-theme: mdb-light-theme($my-theme-primary, $my-theme-secondary); // create the new theme using primary and
secondary colors
// include theme styles
@include mdb-theme($my-theme);
</style>
Light theme
It's possible to create a light theme using mdb-light-theme function. You just
need to define primary and secondary colors, all other parameters
will be adjusted automatically.
<style lang="scss">
@import "mdb-vue-ui-kit/src/scss/index.pro.scss";
$my-theme-primary: #9c27b0; // theme primary color, change this value to customize theme
$my-theme-secondary: #69f0ae; // theme secondary color, change this value to customize theme
$my-light-theme: mdb-light-theme($my-theme-primary, $my-theme-secondary); // create the new light theme using primary and secondary colors
// include theme styles
@include mdb-theme($my-light-theme);
</style>
Dark theme
It's possible to create a dark theme using mdb-dark-theme function. You just need
to define primary and secondary colors, all other parameters will be
adjusted automatically.
<style lang="scss">
@import "mdb-vue-ui-kit/src/scss/index.pro.scss";
$my-theme-primary: #9c27b0; // theme primary color, change this value to customize theme
$my-theme-secondary: #69f0ae; // theme secondary color, change this value to customize theme
$my-dark-theme: mdb-dark-theme($my-theme-primary, $my-theme-secondary); // create the new dark theme using primary and secondary colors
// include theme styles
@include mdb-theme($my-dark-theme);
</style>
Ready-to-use dark skin
For your convenience, we added a ready-to-use dark skin to our UI KIT. Installation is very easy, because you just
need to replace the current mdb.min.css stylesheet path with mdb.dark.min.css. The files
are located in the css folder.
import 'mdb-vue-ui-kit/css/mdb.dark.min.css';
