Changing colors, fonts, and theme

Restyle your app — colors, fonts, spacing — by describing what you want in chat.

Every OverSkill app has a theme — colors, fonts, button styles, spacing. You change it by describing what you want in chat.

Describe what you want

The AI is good at design language:

Make the whole app feel more premium — bigger photos, more whitespace, less clutter.

Use a warm, earthy color palette — terracotta, cream, sage green.

Make it look like Notion — clean, lots of whitespace, sans-serif font, sparse UI.

I want a dark gradient hero on the homepage with a single big call-to-action.

What gets changed

Style changes apply to every page in your app automatically. You don't need to ask for update the colors on the Products page too — that's built in.

Exceptions:

  • Custom one-off styling you previously asked for (like make THIS one button red) stays unless you explicitly remove it
  • Images and uploaded assets keep their original colors

Reverting to default

Reset the theme to default.

Does this cost credits?

Yes. Restyling is a normal build request — the AI reads your app and edits your code, so a theme change bills like any other change. There is no separate no-credit way to restyle. See What are credits?.

A visual theme picker is in limited release to a small number of accounts and is not yet available to everyone. If you don't see a paint-palette icon in your editor toolbar, you don't have it — chat is your route, and it's more flexible anyway.

A common gotcha

The AI tries hard to balance contrast and accessibility. If you ask for white text on a light yellow background, it'll politely suggest a darker yellow or a different color so the app stays readable.

Build with OverSkill, not against it

The single biggest way to get more out of your credits: lean on what OverSkill already gives you instead of asking it to rebuild things from scratch. Here's how to spot the difference.

How to ask the AI for changes

Better prompts get better results. The short guide to writing requests the AI nails on the first try.

What the AI can — and can't — do

Realistic expectations for what you can build with OverSkill, what the AI handles, and where you might hit limits.
