Is it possible to direct a user to a specific theme?
Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
See Custom Themes to get started with theme basics.
Open the Qlik Sense hub and add the theme to the default URL: "/theme/thenameofthenewtheme" Any app a user opens from this session will use this theme as long as the URL stays unmodified.
"/theme/thenameofthenewtheme" is now present on any page that the user navigates to.
Example:
http://localhost:4848/hub/theme/thenameofthenewtheme
http://localhost:4848/sense/app/Helpdesk%20Management.qvf/sheet/1ff88551-9c4d-41e0-b790-37f4c11d3df8/state/analysis//theme/thenameofthenewtheme
The default theme can be changed by modifying both "themes\modern\sense" and "themes\old\sense".
However, themes are cached from both sides the (browser) clients and even from the Sense webserver, so you will never see the change instantly. If CTR + F5 does not help for the browser, then you need probably to restart Server Services (Proxy especially) and clear the cache of the browser. A trick to test changes instantly is to rename the theme subfolder all times after a change
eg. thenameofthenewtheme to thenameofthenewtheme2 and so on
Using mashups and implementing users and theme management in your code allows for different apps (with different themes) for different users or groups. As we are talking about Qlik Sense, the duplication of apps will not increase the memory consumption as the same data model is used. So this will not affect the performance of the server. Specific user or group of users can be guided to specific apps via Streams or via Section Access.
Qlik Sense November 2018 and later: C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\assets\external\sense-themes-default
Includes three themes: Breeze, Card, Sense.
Prior Qlik Sense versions: C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\themes\old

Hello @Sonja_Bauernfeind
we would like to customize the 'Sense Focus' theme.
Do you have an idea how we get the files for 'Sense Focus' to customize a duplicate of it?
Thank you.
Best regards, Patrick
Hello @pwagner
The default themes are stored in: C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\assets\external
I'd recommend not editing it directly (these files will be overwritten with defaults when you upgrade) and to instead make a copy of the theme you want to edit.
All the best,
Sonja
Hello @Sonja_Bauernfeind
Thank you for your feedback We have already checked this folder. Unfortunately we cannot find the 'Sense Focus' theme in this folder.
Do you have another idea where we can this theme?
Thank you for your advice, yes, we will customize a copy of the default themes.
Best regards, Patrick
Hello @pwagner
So, the themes we have are: Sense Classic, Sense Focus, Sense Breeze, and Qlik Horizon.
Focus is called Card in the folder structure from what I can tell, and Classic is called Sense.
All the best,
Sonja
