Theme

Mantine theme is an object where your application's colors, fonts, spacing, border-radius and other design tokens are stored. You can either create your own theme object or use themes that provide from refine. Theme provides a way to your app's design to meet them.

Refer to the Mantine documentation for more information about theme object. →

Predefined Themes

RefineThemes has predefined themes for you. You can use them by importing them from @refinedev/mantine package. It is not required if you decide to use the default Mantine theme.

const { Blue, Purple, Magenta, Red, Orange, Yellow } = RefineThemes;

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { ThemedLayoutV2, RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/mantine";

import { MantineProvider } from "@mantine/core";

const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <MantineProvider theme={RefineThemes.Blue}>
            <Refine
            /* ... */
            >
                <ThemedLayoutV2>{/* ... */}</ThemedLayoutV2>
            </Refine>
        </MantineProvider>
    );
};

INFORMATION

You can see how themes change the look of the application in this example.

Theme customization

<MantineProvider/> component can be used to change the theme. It is not required if you decide to use the default theme. You can also use RefineThemes provided by refine.

Overriding the refine themes

You can override or extend the default refine themes. You can also create your own theme. Let's see how to do this.

localhost:3000

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import {
    ThemedLayoutV2,
    notificationProvider,
    ErrorComponent,
    RefineThemes,
} from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { MantineProvider, Global } from "@mantine/core";
import { NotificationsProvider } from "@mantine/notifications";

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";

import { PostCreate, PostEdit, PostList } from "./pages";

const App = () => {
    return (
        <MantineProvider
            theme={{
                ...RefineThemes.Blue,
                colors: {
                    brand: [
                        "#ECF9F8",

Theme switching

You can switch between themes as Mantine mentioned in its documentation. You can see an example of using local storage to store the theme below.

localhost:3000

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import {
    ThemedLayoutV2,
    ErrorComponent,
    notificationProvider,
    RefineThemes,
} from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { NotificationsProvider } from "@mantine/notifications";
import {
    MantineProvider,
    Global,
    useMantineColorScheme,
    Header as MantineHeader,
    Group,
    ActionIcon,
    ColorScheme,
    ColorSchemeProvider,
} from "@mantine/core";
import { useLocalStorage } from "@mantine/hooks";

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";

import { IconSun, IconMoonStars } from "@tabler/icons";

import { PostCreate, PostEdit, PostList } from "./pages";

const Header = () => {
    const { colorScheme, toggleColorScheme } = useMantineColorScheme();
    const dark = colorScheme === "dark";

    return (
        <MantineHeader height={50} p="xs">
            <Group position="right">
                <ActionIcon
                    variant="outline"
                    color={dark ? "yellow" : "primary"}
                    onClick={() => toggleColorScheme()}
                    title="Toggle color scheme"
                >
                    {dark ? <IconSun /> : <IconMoonStars />}
                </ActionIcon>
            </Group>
        </MantineHeader>
    );
};

const App = () => {
    const [colorScheme, setColorScheme] = useLocalStorage<ColorScheme>({
        key: "mantine-color-scheme",
        defaultValue: "light",
        getInitialValueInEffect: true,
    });

    const toggleColorScheme = (value?: ColorScheme) =>
        setColorScheme(value || (colorScheme === "dark" ? "light" : "dark"));

    return (
