Color Customization

FluentCommunity lets you customize the color of almost every part of your portal, including the Navbar, Sidebar, Feed, Content, Links, Text, and Buttons. The interface supports both Light and Dark themes, and you can style each mode independently so your community looks great either way.

Use Case: You want your community portal to match your brand's palette, with a bright, airy look in Light mode and a comfortable, low-glare scheme in Dark mode.
