Frequently asked questions

Is the Violet theme free?

Yes — every shadcn theme here is free to use with no signup. Copy the CSS or install via the shadcn CLI.

How do I install it?

Run the shadcn CLI command above, or copy the globals.css and paste its :root and .dark blocks into your project. It's Tailwind v4 + OKLCH; use the generator's Code panel for a Tailwind v3 version.

Does it include a dark mode?

Yes. Every theme ships accessible, contrast-checked light and dark modes — see both in the live preview above.

Can I customize it?

Open this theme in the editor to tweak any color, radius, font or shadow, then export your own version.
