Themes

Following the work from Brett Schwarz, we have integrated several themes into the main core library.

Since those themes are included into the library, it is working out of the box: you don't need to install anything on your side. You just have to use the !theme directive:

@startuml !theme spacelab class Example { Theme spacelab } @enduml

🎉 Copied!

@startuml !theme spacelab a -> b b -> c @enduml

List of available themes

Several websites are listing available themes:

Finally, you can list all available themes from your PlantUML library:

🎉 Copied!

@startuml help themes @enduml

Or you can use the %get_all_theme builtin function to retreive a JSON array of all PlantUML theme.

🎉 Copied!

@startjson %get_all_theme() @endjson

Available from version 1.2024.4.

Coloring message with some procedures included on some theme

Some theme includes some procedures, to help coloring message, as:

$success("<msg>")
$failure("<msg>")
$warning("<msg>")

Example:

🎉 Copied!

@startuml !theme spacelab Bob -> Alice : hello Bob <- Alice : $success("success: hello B.") Bob -x Alice : $failure("failure") Bob ->> Alice : $warning("warning") @enduml

Local themes

You can create your own theme on your local file system. You can duplicate any existing theme to create your own one.

By default, a theme file is named puml-theme-foo.puml where foo is the name of the theme.

To invoke a local theme, you have to use the following directive:

!theme foo from /path/to/themes/folder
