Fluxer themes and custom CSS: how to use them

Themes and custom CSS are built into the Fluxer web and desktop apps for everyone. You can turn custom CSS off with a keybind if a theme breaks the app.

Last updated on 12 November 2026

Themes and custom CSS are built into the Fluxer web and desktop apps for everyone, with or without Plutonium, and you can share your themes. You can also mod the app itself.

Are themes and custom CSS allowed on Fluxer?

Yes. You can change how the app looks with "Quick CSS" or saved themes under "Themes" in "User settings", and you can import a theme someone else made.

Is it safe to install a theme?

A theme can change anything you see in the app, including hiding or relabelling buttons and messages. Install themes only from people you trust, and look through the CSS first if you can. Some themes load fonts or images from other websites, and each of those sites sees your IP address when it loads, like any website you visit.

A theme broke the app. How do I turn it off?

Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K, or Cmd+Option+Shift+K on macOS, to turn custom CSS off. That's the default keybind, and you can change it under "Keybinds" in "User settings". In the desktop app you can also choose "Turn off custom CSS" in the tray menu, and in the web app you can add ?custom_css=off to the end of the address and load the page.

Custom CSS stays off in that tab or window until you turn it back on or close it, which gives you time to fix or remove the theme that broke the app.

Can I use themes in the iOS and Android apps?

In the iOS and Android apps, you can change individual colours under "Theme colours". If you turn on "Use colours from Theme Studio" there, the colour changes you make in Theme Studio on desktop apply on your phone or tablet too. We plan to build more theming options into Fluxer Oxygen, our Flutter app, for phones, tablets and computers.
