How to Import a KDS Theme

Overview

This article provides a detailed walkthrough for importing KDS themes and also includes the sample code for creating a basic light and dark theme

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

  • It's good practice to save this file to the  default SmartKDS install location "C:\\Program Files(x86)\\Bepoz\\SmartKDS\\

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

Importing a theme file

  • Open the KDS Server application - "C:\\Program Files(x86)\\Bepoz\\SmartKDS\\KDS.Server.exe"

  • Navigate to the Workstation Settings tab

  • Select the Themes sub option

  • Select the Import option and navigate to the location where the user has saved the theme file 

  • Once the theme file has been selected, the user must enter a Theme Name

  • Save the theme

  • Apply the theme

Selecting a theme

  • Once the user has imported or created their own theme

  • The theme will be available to select and apply in the Workstation settings
