How to change themes and skins for existing competitions

Learn how to add a new theme instance or change the skin of an existing one for a competition, and how these changes affect matches.

Overview

You can change the graphics theme for an existing competition at any time. This updates the visual appearance of all overlays and graphics for matches in that competition. You can also modify just the color profile (skin) of the current theme without changing the theme itself.


Changes to theme instances apply to all future matches created under the competition. Matches that have already been created will continue to use the theme instance that was active when they were created.


How to Add a New Theme Instance

To add a new theme instance, start by clicking Assets in the left sidebar, then click Competitions and select the competition you wish to edit. Next, click the Theme Instances tab and then click Add Theme Instance.

Browse the available themes and click Select and Configure on your preferred theme. You can then review how the theme looks during different match moments, including break graphics, in-match graphics, and player graphics, and select different skins if you'd like to change the color profile. When you're happy with your choice, click Use this theme (the red button in the top right).


The new theme will apply to the competition. All future matches created under this competition will use the new theme instance.


How to Change the Skin of an Existing Theme Instance

If you want to keep the same theme but change its color profile, click Assets in the left sidebar, then click Competitions and select the competition you wish to edit. Click the Theme Instances tab and find the theme you wish to edit from the list, then click the Edit icon button.

Select Change Skin to modify the color profile, review the available skins, and select your preferred option. Confirm your selection to finish.


The updated skin applies to the competition immediately.


What Happens After Changing a Theme Instance

Theme changes affect future matches only. Matches that were already created before you changed the theme instance will continue to use the original theme they were created with.


To apply the new theme to existing matches, you would need to reconfigure the overlay settings for those matches individually from the Matches section.
