Shoelace is designed to be highly customizable through pure CSS. Out of the box, you can choose from a light or dark theme. Alternatively, you can design your own theme.
A theme is nothing more than a stylesheet that uses the Shoelace API to define design tokens and apply custom styles to components. To create a theme, you will need a decent understanding of CSS, including [CSS Custom Properties](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/--*) and the [`::part` selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::part).
For developers, built-in themes are also available as JavaScript modules that export [Lit CSSResult](https://lit.dev/docs/api/styles/#CSSResult) objects. You can find them in `dist/themes/*.styles.js`.

## Theme Basics
All themes are scoped to classes using the `sl-theme-{name}` convention, where `{name}` is a lowercase, hyphen-delimited value representing the name of the theme. The included light and dark themes use `sl-theme-light` and `sl-theme-dark`, respectively. A custom theme called "Purple Power", for example, would use the `sl-theme-purple-power` class.

Every selector must be scoped to the theme's class to ensure interoperability with other themes. You should also scope them to `:host` so they can be imported and applied to custom element shadow roots.

It's for this reason that themes must be scoped to specific classes.
## Creating Themes
There are two ways to create themes. The easiest way is to customize a built-in theme. The advanced way is to create a new theme from scratch. Which method you choose depends on your project's requirements and the amount of effort you're willing to commit to.
### Customizing a Built-in Theme
The easiest way to customize Shoelace is to override one of the built-in themes. You can do this by importing the light or dark theme as-is, then creating a separate stylesheet that overrides the [design tokens](/getting-started/customizing#design-tokens) and adds [component styles](/getting-started/customizing#component-parts) to your liking. You must import your theme _after_ the built-in theme.

By customizing a built-in theme, you'll maintain a smaller stylesheet containing only the changes you've made. Contrast this to [creating a new theme](#creating-a-new-theme), where you need to explicitly define every design token required by the library. This approach is more "future-proof," as new design tokens that emerge in subsequent versions of Shoelace will be accounted for by the built-in theme.
While this may be easier to maintain, the drawback is that your theme modifies a built-in theme and thus can't be activated independently.

The built-in dark theme uses an inverted color scale so, if you're using design tokens as intended, you'll get dark mode for free. While this isn't the same as a professionally curated dark theme, it provides an excellent baseline for one and you're encouraged to customize it depending on your needs.
This was achieved by taking the light theme's [color tokens](/tokens/color) and "flipping" the scale so 100 becomes 900, 200 becomes 800, 300 becomes 700, etc. Next, the luminance of each primitive was fine-tuned to avoid true black, which is often undesirable in dark themes, and provide a richer experience. The result is a custom dark mode palette that complements the light theme well and makes it easy to offer light and dark variations with minimal effort.
