Blender Quick Theme

Blender Quick Theme is a lightweight Blender add-on for quickly changing and customizing the visual appearance of Blender's interface.

It includes 32 professionally designed themes, inspired by different visual styles and popular creative software, plus a Custom Theme Creator that lets you build your own Blender theme using just 8 colors.

Everything is accessible directly from the 3D Viewport N-Panel, so you don't need to navigate through Blender Preferences.

Installation

1. Open Blender.

2. Go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons.

3. Click the Install button.

4. Select the Blender Quick Theme .zip file.

5. Enable the Blender Quick Theme add-on.

After installation, open the 3D Viewport, press N, and select the Quick Theme tab.

Important: Do not extract the .zip file before installing unless specifically instructed by the included installation documentation.

Quick Start

Apply a Ready-to-Use Theme

1. Open the 3D Viewport.

2. Press N to open the sidebar.

3. Select the Quick Theme tab.

5. Click Apply.

The theme is applied immediately across Blender's supported interface elements.

No restart is required.

32 Included Themes

Blender Quick Theme includes 32 ready-to-use themes covering several visual styles:

• Professional and minimal themes

• Dark and high-contrast themes

• Creative color palettes

• Familiar software-inspired themes

• Community-inspired palettes

• Blender Default Dark

The software-inspired themes are original color recreations inspired by the general visual mood of those applications. They do not contain copied assets, code, or proprietary UI elements.

Custom Theme Creator

Create your own Blender theme without manually editing dozens of individual color settings.

The Custom Theme Creator uses 8 simple color controls:

1. Background

2. Panel

3. Text

4. Selection

5. Active Object

6. Accent

7. Highlight

8. Grid

Choose your colors, then click Generate & Apply.

Blender Quick Theme automatically maps your selected palette across the supported areas of Blender's Theme system to create a consistent interface.

Save & Load Custom Themes

Custom themes can be saved as simple .json files.

This allows you to:

• Back up your custom themes

• Reuse themes between Blender installations

• Share your custom palettes

• Keep multiple personal themes

Use the Save and Load controls in the Quick Theme panel.

One-Click Reset

Want to return to Blender's familiar appearance?

Use Reset to Blender Default to quickly restore the factory theme.

What Does the Add-on Change?

Blender Quick Theme controls the parts of Blender's interface exposed through Blender's Theme system, including supported:

• 3D Viewport UI

• Node Editor UI

• Outliner

• Properties

• Timeline

• Text Editor

• File Browser

• Panels

• Buttons and widgets

• Tabs

• Grid and wireframe colors

• Selection and active-object outlines

• Interface backgrounds and text

The goal is to keep your chosen color palette visually consistent throughout Blender.

What Does It NOT Change?

Blender Quick Theme does not modify:

• Object materials

• Texture colors

• Render appearance

• Cycles or Eevee settings

• The actual geometry of your objects

• Solid viewport object fill colors controlled by Viewport Shading

Important: Solid Viewport Object Color

If an untextured object still appears with a flat gray color in Solid shading, this is expected.

That gray appearance is controlled by Blender's Viewport Shading settings or the object's material/display settings, not by Blender's Theme system.

Blender Quick Theme cannot override this limitation.

Compatibility

Minimum Blender Version: 4.5

Tested Up To: Blender 5.x

Blender Quick Theme is designed to automatically adapt its theme assignments to the theme structure used by the installed Blender version.
