Editor theming

Pick a built-in theme with the theme prop, then override any CSS variable inline or from your own stylesheet — the editor reads from its own custom element scope so overrides don't bleed.

Built-in themes

Click any preview to open it live in the playground.

Scoped. The editor's styles are scoped to its custom-element shell, so overrides you make inline never leak out.
