Theme Selection Guide
Use Profile Style Preset as your base layer. Pick a preset, confirm saved, then customize background/colors on top.
What This Setting Controls
- Profile Style Preset applies a bundled visual baseline.
- It gives you a fast coherent starting point before manual tweaking.
- Later field-level edits (background/colors/etc.) can override parts of the preset.
Best Workflow
- 1. Pick preset in Theme Selection.
- 2. Wait for Saved! status.
- 3. Adjust Background for readability.
- 4. Adjust Colors for consistency and contrast.

Preset Options In Your Stack
These are the current selectable values for Profile Style Preset:
Safe starts
Dark, Minimalist, Minimal Clean are easiest for readable setups.
Bold starts
CyberPunk, Neon, Neon Night, Matrix are high personality and benefit from careful contrast checks.
Light / soft starts
Light, Soft Pastel, Candy can look great but need stronger text contrast decisions.
Nostalgia starts
Retro, Retro MySpace, Cyber Glass, Forest are mood presets; tune backgrounds after selecting.
What “None” Means
- None removes the preset layer from this specific field.
- Other saved style fields can still keep your profile looking customized.
- If you want a true clean slate, reset related Background/Colors fields too.
Helpful Tips
- Use one accent color across links/buttons/hover states after preset selection.
- If background image is busy, increase overlay before touching many colors.
- Verify both desktop and mobile after preset + background changes.
- Avoid stacking many changes before first Saved! confirmation.
Troubleshooting
- “Preset did nothing”: existing field values are likely overriding visual impact.
- “Looks off after selecting”: background/overlay values may conflict with preset mood.
- “Desktop and mobile differ”: adjust mobile background fit/focus after preset choice.
Reset Path
- Set Profile Style Preset to None and wait for Saved!.
- Reset Background/Colors fields gradually, one section at a time.
- Check profile after each section reset to avoid over-correcting.
