A theme controls the visual branding of a client’s instance of the platform. It defines how the product looks and behaves, including elements like logos, color schemes, and styling - similar to a frontend “skin” in web development.
Themes are used to align Brighter Law Suite (BLS) and Brighter Estimates (BE) with the client’s brand identity. They ensure visual consistency across the user interface, email templates, and letter templates, while also helping to distinguish between different clients or systems.
Creating a Theme in Core
1. Click the dropdown in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
2. Select the Admin tab.
3. Open the Themes tab.
4. Here, you’ll see a list of existing themes and an option to Add Theme.
The following fields are required to create a theme:
Name - Usually the company name.
Folder - Use the same name as the folder you’ll upload to Azure.
When naming the folder, use the company name in all lowercase with no spaces (e.g. turnerandturner).
Live Subdomain - Use the same name as the folder.
Staging Subdomain - Use the same name as the folder and Live Subdomain.
For Brighter Law Suite (BLS), append_staging after the name (e.g. BLS: turnerandturner_staging)
For Brighter Estimates (BE), append_ staging-online after the name (e.g. BE: turnerandturner_staging-online)
Application - Select the system where the theme will be applied and click Create.

Note: If the client has requested both Brighter Suite and Brighter Estimates, you'll need to create a separate theme for each. |
