Here is how to build wekan code and add your new theme with code changes and send as pull request:
https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Emoji#how-you-could-add-another-plugin

Here is how some have sent previous themes to Wekan, what code changes they made:
https://github.com/wekan/wekan/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+theme

After you have sent new theme as pull request, you see it as open pull request:
https://github.com/wekan/wekan/pulls?q=is%3Apr+theme+is%3Aopen

And when I have merged it to Wekan, that theme will be in next Wekan release, listed at ChangeLog:
https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

At Wekan Snap page you see with webpage reload, when new version has been released:
https://snapcraft.io/wekan

Wekan Snap version gets updates automatically soon after new Wekan version has been released, or you can update manually immediately:
https://github.com/wekan/wekan-snap/wiki/Automatic-update-schedule

All Wekan themes are directly integrated to Wekan. You can add pull request to master branch to add custom theme, you can see from [from this commit](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/commit/34b2168d0dda253dedabbee47031873efa4ae446) required new color/theme name and changes to these files 3 files listed below. In that commit is also changes to other files, you don't need to change those files.
  - `wekan/client/components/boards/boardColors.styl`
  - `wekan/models/boards.js`
  - `wekan/server/migrations.js`

Alternatives for sending new theme as pull request:
- If you would like to have some new theme, please add screenshot mockup to [new Wekan issue](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues).
- If possible, you can also try to create those CSS changes with [Stylish browser extension](https://userstyles.org/) and add those to new issue too.

There are currently board color modes/themes, and these full themes:
- Dark: modified from below by @lonix1 and more changes by xet7
- Relax: Light green background that helps Wekan users to relax in company of Wekan contributor that sent theme CSS.

Upcoming full themes that will be added by xet7:
- Corteza, that will be mostly-white theme, although different than example of white theme below
- Octopus, that will have different colors and some Wekan features hidden

## Dark theme

[by @lonix1](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/1149), could look a little like this screenshot mockup:

<!--
![dark wekan](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/11541071/28684178-574c0852-72fb-11e7-9c39-d11281863c3a.png)
-->

lonix1 created some css overrides with Stylish. It's not complete but I'm happy with it. I work in swimlanes mode, so that is what I changed (not list mode or calendar mode).

Colors:
- adds dark mode, I used vscode as a reference

Other:
- hides various useless icons and things
- hides  "add card", "add swimlane", "add list" links, until hovered (I find these very "noisy")

```css
/* HIDE PERMANENTLY -------------------------------------------------- */

/* popup menu titles (boards, swimlanes, lists, cards, labels) */
