FAQs

Are there any gradients or fades?

Unfortunately no, color gradients and fades are not currently supported on the Uizard platform.

Can I change the font, colors, or style of particular aspects across the whole project?

At this time, it's not possible to globally change a specific color, accent color, or font across an entire project.

The best option and workaround that we have at this time is our Theme Generator. This can help change certain aspects of your project and may be a viable solution.
