Theme library in Kiwiform

The Theme Library in Kiwiform allows you to browse, manage, and reuse publicly available themes within your workspace. You can publish your own custom themes from My Themes and make them accessible through the Theme Library for consistent use across forms. As a free Typeform alternative, Kiwiform helps teams standardize form design while keeping branding organized and reusable.

What Is the Theme Library?

The Theme Library is a centralized collection of themes that have been made publicly available within your workspace

It helps you:

  • Reuse approved design styles

  • Maintain consistent branding

  • Reduce repetitive styling work

  • Allow teams to apply standardized themes

  • Quickly apply pre-designed visual styles

Unlike My Themes, which contains your private or draft themes, the Theme Library displays themes that are publicly accessible for reuse.


How to Publish a Theme to the Theme Library

To add a theme to the Theme Library, follow these steps:

  1. Create or Select a Theme

    1. Open your form.

    2. Open your form.

    3. Go to My Themes.

    4. Select an existing theme or create a new one.

If you have not yet created a theme, refer to the Create Theme guide.

  1. Make the Theme Public

    1. Click the three-dot menu on the theme card.

    2. Select Make Public.

Once marked as public, the theme becomes visible under the Theme Library tab.


How to Use a Theme from the Theme Library

  1. Open the Design panel.

  2. Switch to the Theme Library tab.

  3. Browse available themes.

  4. Click on a theme to apply it to your form.

The selected theme will immediately update your form’s visual styling.


When Should You Use the Theme Library?

The Theme Library is especially useful when:

  • You manage multiple forms across teams.

  • You want approved brand styles only.

  • You need consistent campaign design.

  • You work in shared workspaces.

  • You want to reduce manual styling decisions.

It helps enforce visual consistency while allowing creators to focus on form structure and content.


Best Practices for Managing Themes

  • Use clear and descriptive theme names before publishing.

  • Review accessibility and contrast before making a theme public.

  • Keep outdated themes private or delete them.

  • Duplicate a theme before major changes if it is already widely used.

  • Regularly review how many forms are using each theme.

Maintaining an organized Theme Library improves efficiency and reduces design inconsistencies.


Important Notes

  • Editing a public theme may affect all forms using it.

  • You can duplicate a theme to create variations.

  • Private themes remain available only in My Themes.

  • You can rename a theme at any time for clarity.
