Custom Themes

How to make your site look exactly like you want.
Unstack provides a number of tools — both code and no-code — to customize your site's appearance. These include:
​

Style Guide

You must have the Admin role to view and edit the style guide.
The Unstack style guide provides a quick way to customize the branding and styles of your site without using code. It's designed to be so simple that anyone can use it:
Many aspects of your theme can be customized in the Style Guide, including:
  • Branding
  • Typography
  • Button styles
  • Forms styles
  • Layout
  • And more...
If you're not sure if Unstack has a no-code way of customizing your theme, the Style Guide is a great place to start. Component developers will especially want to be familiar with what's exposed here.
​

Headers & footers

Within the app, Unstack provides a way of customizing your header and footer without code:
This allows you to customize your menus, styles, and the basic layout of your header. The built-in header and footer do have some limitations, but they are excellent for customizing your header or footer without code.
If the built-in header and footer don't meet your needs, you can also build your own header and footer components with code.
​

Custom integrations

If you need a way to add custom code to every page, custom integrations are the way to go.
Custom integrations can be used to:
  • Tweak global CSS for things not customizable in the Style guide
  • Add additional scripts for analytics or functionality
  • Add a global banner at the top or bottom of the page
  • And more...
A custom integration can be inserted before or after the content of the page, or in the <head> of the HTML.
​

Custom code blocks

If you only need to add custom code to a single page, Unstack includes a Custom Code component that can be easily inserted into a page with the Add Section button within the page editor.
To add a custom code block:
  1. 1.
    Click the Add section button
  2. 2.
    Navigate to the Custom Code category
  3. 3.
    Select the Custom Code component
​

Custom components

Building your own components will give you the ultimate flexibility. Unstack provides a simple component editor where you can develop components in a live preview environment:
Anyone with a small amount of HTML knowledge will feel at home in the component editor.
The component editor can be used to build a few different types of components:
  • ​Sections - The main building blocks of Unstack pages.
  • ​Headers & Footers - If the built-ins don't work for you you can go custom.
  • ​Banners - Place anywhere on the page even above or below headers and footers.
