Corteza Studio

Corteza Studio is a new addition to Corteza that lets you style your Corteza user interface and all of your applications any way you like. With this release, you can use Corteza Studio to tweak your color scheme or swap out the entire stylesheet to fit your brand guidelines and make Corteza fully your own. Combined with CSS, introduced in 2023.3.3, this means you have complete control over how your Corteza and your apps look, including adding images to the background, creating transparencies, changing fonts, changing the border radius on cards and buttons and more.

Future versions of Corteza Studio will remove the need for CSS by letting you make the common style changes such elements as backgrounds, transparencies, fonts, buttons and more directly in Corteza Studio. Soon you’ll also be able to save different design themes, set design themes according to roles and apply different design themes to different apps, pages, layouts and blocks.

Here are some sample creations made with Corteza Studio and CSS. Note: When using a custom font, users will need to have the font installed locally to display it.
