Theme the widget
The ForgeRock Login Widget provides a default theme with both light and dark modes.
You can alter these themes by using the Tailwind configuration file.
Switch between light and dark themes
To switch to the dark mode, you can manually add tw_dark to the <body> element:
<body class="tw_dark"></body>The ForgeRock Login Widget defaults to the light mode if the class is not present.
You can programmatically apply the class if required:
const prefersDarkTheme = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
if (prefersDarkTheme) {
document.body.classList.add('tw_dark');
}Customize the theme
To reconfigure the theme to use different colors, fonts, or sizing you can provide new values to the Tailwind configuration file and rebuild the ForgeRock Login Widget, as follows:
