Wix Blocks: About Themes
2 min read
Wix Blocks is open to all Wix Studio users. To get access to Blocks, join Wix Studio.
When you design a Wix site and you want to keep a neat and consistent design, it's best to have your site's components connected to a Theme. A color theme includes combinations of colors that look great together, and a typography theme defines the looks of your site's texts (learn more about using themes in Editor X and in the Wix Editor).
When you create a widget or an app, connecting it to a theme becomes essential. You never know where your widget or app might end up - it can be installed on an unlimited number of Wix sites. Think about a widget with a black background, designed to stand out on a site's white background. If the widget's colors are not connected to site color themes, it will be hard to spot on a site with a black background. Or, think about setting all your buttons to be pink and then importing the app to a website with a pink background - no one would be able to see the buttons. This goes for fonts too - your widget's fonts can be very different from the site's fonts.
Wix Blocks enables you to connect your widget's colors and texts to any site theme - adapting the widget to the site's look and feel. You can test how your widget looks across various themes in the Test Theme option in Preview mode.
