Why we like it

Made by a 3D artist for 3D artists, ThemeLab focuses on making Blender theme customization faster than the default multi-step process. Its Simplify Mode alongside combined shading and roundness controls are what give it range.

What is Themelab - Effortless Theme Customization?

ThemeLab is a Blender addon for building your own customized interface themes. Created by a 3D artist for 3D artists, it aims to make theme customization simpler and faster than Blender's default installation, which can take several steps. You can apply, export, save, and combine themes with infinite flexibility.

Customization covers several interface areas. Icon colors can be changed with the help of visual logo previews, and UI widget colors are fully adjustable. Edit Mode color adjustment is included for the areas modelers work in most. Shading and roundness controls let you shape the interface look, from flat toward a more dimensional appearance.

Simplify Mode offers Simple, Balanced, and Detailed styles that you can fine-tune to taste. Sample themes are available to download, including a free Sci Fi Theme Pink theme, so you can explore the addon before deciding. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
