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
