Owners and admins can change the sidebar, fonts and backgrounds with the visual controls. Sign in on your wiki, then open Manage › Theme. The preview stays visible while you adjust the settings. Save theme publishes the look you choose.
Settings and preview scroll separately. On a narrow screen, the preview stays above the settings. Save theme and Revert changes stay in the toolbar.
Article / OverviewCheck article text and tables, or a grid of cards.
Desktop / PhoneCheck both screen layouts before saving.
Compare savedTemporarily view the saved look. Your draft stays intact.
Expand previewGive the preview more room for a closer look.
In Phone preview, open the menu to check sidebar styles. In Desktop preview, use the sidebar collapse button to compare the full menu and icon rail.

This example changes only the illustration. Open Manage › Theme on your wiki and Save theme to publish. The artwork is a sample, not a game image.
Sidebar colours and layout
Open Manage › Theme, then find Sidebar.
Choose a Starting point, such as Woodland for forest colours and brass accents. Then adjust the fields under Colors.
Use Layout for the rows and Current page for the selected page marker. Scroll the settings to reach more fields; the preview stays in view.
Click Save theme to publish your appearance changes.
AccentCategory headings, icons and the current-page marker.
Sidebar backgroundThe surface behind all navigation rows.
Fine tuning › TextOrdinary navigation labels.
Fine tuning › Current page fillThe selected row's background.
Fine tuning › HeadingsPage headings and the current page name.
Fine tuning › LinesSidebar borders and dividers.
A starting point changes the whole palette, including page and card colours. Woodland also sets its fonts and sidebar layout. Pick it before making individual adjustments.
Choose the fonts
Navigation labelsTheme › Sidebar › Type contains Sidebar font for navigation rows and Heading font for category headings. Text size and Uppercase labels are here too.
Article text and headingsTheme › Page and content contains Body font and Heading font. Match body makes headings use the body font.
Inter keeps long text and navigation readable. Cinzel gives headings the inscription style used by Woodland. Fonts in the picker are bundled with Wikily; no upload is needed. Both sets of fonts publish with Save theme.

On Manage › Theme, use Sidebar › Colors › Sidebar backgroundfor navigation or Page and content › Page background for the page.
Choose a solid colour, or set Gradient start, Gradient end and Gradient angle. A gradient replaces the base colour.
Click Upload background image, or fill Background image URL. Choose Image fit and add a translucent Overlay to keep labels readable.

TileRepeats at the image's original size, useful for seamless textures.
Remove imageRemoves the artwork and reveals the colour or gradient below it.
Background videoUpload MP4 or WebM, or set Background video URL. It loops muted. The image is its poster and the reduced-motion fallback.
Theme › Page and content also has Card background and Card border. Those change the content surfaces, independently of the page background.
Forest and brass example
Choose Woodland to apply this look, then adjust it to your game. Hex values can be entered directly in the colour fields. Its page uses a radial gradient; changing the two gradient stops replaces that with a linear gradient.

What gets copiedSidebar layout, colours, fonts, backgrounds, Wiki CSS and Sidebar CSS.
Preview firstYour draft stays intact until Apply to draft. Back to my draft leaves it unchanged.
After applyingApply to draft enables Save theme. Adapt the look before saving. Future source changes do not update your copy.
Background filesImages and videos keep their source URLs. Upload your own files to replace them; copying a theme does not migrate assets.
Navigation, pages, datasets and the destination wiki's identity stay as they are. Set those up separately from the theme.
Copied CSS for specific pages or block classes still needs matching pages or classes on the destination wiki. Adapt those rules under Theme › Custom CSS.
Keep and reuse a theme
Theme › Theme code keeps a copy you can reuse. Copy your current theme code before a large change, or paste one as the starting point for another wiki. Imported changes are a draft until you click Save theme.
Copy theme codeKeeps colours, fonts, background settings, Wiki CSS and Sidebar CSS together.
Apply pasted codeLoads a theme into the preview. Save theme publishes it.
Revert changesReturns to the last loaded or saved look without publishing anything.
Reset theme and CSSRestores the default look and clears both custom stylesheets. Save theme applies the reset.
A theme controls appearance. Navigation labels, page content and individual block styles are edited in their own screens.
When a change does not show
All rows stay the sameUnder Theme › Custom CSS, check Sidebar CSS and Wiki CSS for rules that set the same colour, background or font. Custom CSS can override the theme.
One row stays the sameSelect it under Sidebar › Content, open Style, and clear its own colour or font override so it follows the theme.
One page block stays the sameIts Properties can have an explicit background, font or CSS class. Clear that override if it should follow the wiki.
A background image hides the colourThe artwork sits above the base. Remove the image to see the solid colour or gradient.
The old look returns after reloadThe preview was not saved. Click Save theme and wait for its success state.
No design controlsWiki-wide appearance needs the owner or admin role. Page editing permission alone is not enough.
Copy your theme code before changing existing CSS. Remove only the rule that overrides your setting. Page blocks and custom navigation items can still carry individual styles after a theme reset.
