To define your brand’s unique identity within Salesforce, create a custom theme. As an
admin, you can specify your custom theme’s color palette, and upload your company logo and your
own background images. Use a custom theme to rally your team around important initiatives, like a
campaign or new product launch. Or you can make sure that your team’s work fits seamlessly into
the rest of your company's environment.

Customize your theme.
You can enhance custom themes in many ways, such as adding your unique brand color and
logo, and default group and user profile banners. For custom SLDS 2 themes, you can configure
advanced accent colors. See Manage
Custom Configurations for Themes.

If your org currently uses a Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) 1 theme and you
activate a custom SLDS 2 theme, click Activate again to confirm that you
intend to activate SLDS 2 for your org. Similarly, if your org currently uses an SLDS 2 theme
and you activate a custom SLDS 1 theme, click Activate again to confirm
that you intend to deactivate SLDS 2 for your org.
Note Note: When you activate an SLDS 2 theme, you enable SLDS 2 for your org. If you change your
active theme from an SLDS 2 theme to an SLDS 1 theme, you disable SLDS 2 for your org. See Transition to SLDS 2.
Your designers and engineers can take your custom SLDS 2 themes even further and create user
interfaces that are consistent with Salesforce design principles, visual language, and best
practices. To learn how to design and build with SLDS 2, see Salesforce Lightning Design System 2.
