Saas UI Theme

The default Saas UI theme tokens

The Saas UI theme is loosely based on the excellent Chakra UI theme. It has a neutral style that looks great out of the box. The theme comes with a bunch of additions that make it easy to adjust it to your brand.

Colors#

Add a theme.colors object to provide colors for your project. By default these colors can be referenced by the color, borderColor, backgroundColor, fill, stroke, styles.

Typography#

To manage Typography options, the theme object supports the following keys:

  • fonts (font families)
  • fontSizes
  • fontWeights
  • lineHeights
  • letterSpacings
// example theme object
export default {
colors: {...},
fonts: {
body: "Inter, sans-serif",
heading: "Inter, sans-serif"
},
fontSizes: {
xs: '0.75rem',
sm: '0.8125rem',

'2xl': '1.5rem',

'5xl': '3rem',

},
fontWeights: {

},

tight: "-0.025em",
normal: "0",
wide: "0.025em",
wider: "0.05em",
widest: "0.1em",
},
};

Breakpoints#

Saas UI comes with an predefined set of breakpoints.

Learn more about Responsive Styles and Customizing Breakpoints.

// theme.js
import { createBreakpoints } from '@chakra-ui/theme-tools'
export default createBreakpoints({
sm: '30em',
md: '48em',
lg: '62em',
xl: '80em',
'2xl': '96em',
})

Spacing#

The space key allows you to customize the global spacing and sizing scale for your project. By default these spacing value can be referenced by the padding, margin, and top, left, right, bottom styles.

export default {
space: {
px: '1px',
0.5: '0.125rem',
1: '0.25rem',
1.5: '0.375rem',
2: '0.5rem',
2.5: '0.625rem',
3: '0.75rem',
3.5: '0.875rem',
4: '1rem',
5: '1.25rem',
6: '1.5rem',
7: '1.75rem',
8: '2rem',
9: '2.25rem',
10: '2.5rem',
12: '3rem',
14: '3.5rem',
16: '4rem',
20: '5rem',
24: '6rem',
28: '7rem',
32: '8rem',
36: '9rem',
40: '10rem',
44: '11rem',
48: '12rem',
52: '13rem',
56: '14rem',
60: '15rem',
64: '16rem',
72: '18rem',
80: '20rem',
96: '24rem',
},
}

By default, Chakra includes a comprehensive numeric spacing scale inspired by Tailwind CSS. The values are proportional, so 1 spacing unit is equal to 0.25rem, which translates to 4px by default in common browsers.

Mental model: If you need a spacing of 40px, divide it by 4. That'll give you 10. Then use it in your component.

Sizes#

The sizes key allows you to customize the global sizing of components you build for your project. By default these sizes value can be referenced by the width, height, and maxWidth, minWidth, maxHeight, minHeight styles.

export default {
sizes: {
...theme.space,
max: 'max-content',
min: 'min-content',
full: '100%',
'3xs': '14rem',
'2xs': '16rem',
xs: '20rem',
sm: '24rem',
md: '28rem',
lg: '32rem',
xl: '36rem',
'2xl': '42rem',
'3xl': '48rem',
'4xl': '56rem',
'5xl': '64rem',
'6xl': '72rem',
'7xl': '80rem',
'8xl': '90rem',
container: {
sm: '640px',
md: '768px',
lg: '1024px',
xl: '1280px',
'2xl': '1440px',
},
},
}

A component like this: <Box w={4} h={3} /> will generate an empty div with width set to 1rem or 16px and height set to 0.75rem or 12px.

Border radius#

Chakra provides a set of smooth corner radius values.

export default {
radii: {
none: '0',
sm: '0.125rem',
base: '0.25rem',
md: '0.375rem',
lg: '0.5rem',
xl: '0.75rem',
'2xl': '1rem',
'3xl': '1.5rem',
full: '9999px',
},
}

z-index values#

We recommend trying to solve stacking issues without z-index. You can read our recommendations and learn more about stacking contexts and z-index here.

Chakra provides a minimal set of z-Indices out of the box to help control the stacking order of components.

export default {
zIndices: {
hide: -1,
auto: 'auto',
base: 0,
docked: 10,
dropdown: 1000,
sticky: 1100,
banner: 1200,
overlay: 1300,
modal: 1400,
popover: 1500,
skipLink: 1600,
toast: 1700,
tooltip: 1800,
},
}

Config#

The theme's config is to provide global settings that are used by different parts of the Chakra UI system.

PropertyDescriptionDefault
cssVarPrefix (v1.4)The prefix to use for the generated CSS custom propertieschakra
initialColorModeThe initial color mode your application should start with.
Can be either light or dark mode
light
useSystemColorModeIf true, the chakra system will update color mode
based on your system preferences
false

You can leverage the extendTheme function to override a specific theme config property.

const theme = extendTheme({
config: {
cssVarPrefix: 'ck',
},
})
