Workstation Theme - How to Import

• KDS Workstation allows the customisation of colour and font size of several UI elements in the workstation settings
  
• KDS Themes can be imported directly from the KDS Server > Workstation Settings
• Themes are built around a JSON file that contains each individual element and their configuration 
• Below is a sample file that will provide the user with a basic light theme to get started
• Further customisation can then be done through the workstation settings
  

Create a new theme file

• Open a new text file and copy the code below into the file
• Save the file as <filename>.json

• The new theme can now be imported into SmartKDS Workstation using the below guide
