Theming

There are a few ways PostHog.com is customized:

  1. Color mode: auto, light (default), dark
  2. Theme: Button styles, window colors, desktop icons, desktop icon underlining etc
  3. Desktop background: image, background color, desktop icon label backgrounds
Attribute Location Contents Example(s) / Usage Notes
data-scheme Any element Color theming data-scheme="primary" # foreground content
data-scheme="secondary" # accent content/sidebars
data-scheme="tertiary" # window header bar

<div data-scheme="secondary" className="text-primary text-primary">		 - Reads the body class of light or dark and switches automatically, ie: no need to use dark:text-{value}
- Can be nested with a different value
data-skin Set on body tag Overall aesthetic, mostly applies to buttons data-skin="modern" # default<br>data-skin="classic" # gives pre Mac OS X vibes, visible button outlines, thicker bottom border<br>
data-wallpaper Set on body tag, data-app="Desktop" in Desktop/index.tsx - Desktop background color
- Desktop background image		 data-wallpaper="keyboard-garden"<br>data-wallpaper="hogzilla"<br> - Most backgrounds support light and dark mode

Not currently supported

  • Custom desktop backgrounds
  • Changing desktop background and theme styles together

How it works

Most customization is done with Tailwind.

For example, background images are set in Desktop/index.tsx and the data-wallpaper attribute is set on the body tag. This allows us to make customizations on the desktop and in various places like the taskbar on a per-background basis if needed.
