Themes
Buoy ships with seventeen themes. Switching is instant — it never reloads the page or interrupts a live table.
Open Settings, Appearance. Click a theme’s swatch to apply it. The active theme persists across restarts.

Impersonation Override
When /as is active, Buoy paints a red border around the entire app, regardless of the active theme. The border clears when impersonation ends. See contexts.md for details on the impersonation lifecycle.
Adding a Theme
There is no in-app theme editor — the catalog above is built in. If you’d like another theme, contributions are welcome on the project repository.
Plugins can also ship themes; see plugins/themes.md.
