Customizing your StreamAlive session with a unique theme allows you to enhance the visual appeal of your presentations and create a more engaging experience for your audience. Whether you want a classic, professional look or a scenic, immersive design, StreamAlive lets you build themes that match your style.​

With the theme creation options, you can customize background colors, text styles, and other visual elements to align with your branding or event aesthetic. Creating a theme ensures that every session feels cohesive and visually appealing, whether you're running a formal webinar, an interactive live stream, or a fun community event.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to:

1. Create a custom theme from scratch

2. Choose colors, fonts, and backgrounds to match your style

3. Save and manage your themes for future use

1. Navigate to "Themes" from the left-hand side panel.

   

2. Click on "+ New Theme"

   

3. Choose a theme similar to your desired template to use as a starting point.

   

4. Give your theme a unique name

   

5. Start customizing the elements (background color, text color, accent colors, etc.).

   • You can make general edits to your slides/interaction's background, text/font, and heading/title/question design on the slides tab
     ​

     

   • To make specific design edits to your interactions in your theme, use the Interactions tab.
     ​
     For example: In the image below, we've selected power polls and in the design section on the right, there is a new section called visualisation colors where you can edit the design of the bar color and text.
     ​

     

6. Once you're satisfied with your design, click "Save theme".

   

7. With that, your theme is created

   

Now that you've learned what a theme is and how to create one, let's learn how to apply it to your presentation/interactions.
