Most community themes stopped working after the new CyberPanel UI, so we made a free light theme that works on CyberPanel 3.x. It is plain Custom CSS: no scripts, nothing loaded from other sites, and it doesn't change how the panel works, only how it looks.
What it changes
- Readable text everywhere: body text is 14px and no label is smaller than 12px (checked on 98 pages)
- One calm colour: a single blue for buttons and links instead of orange on some pages and purple on others
- Colour-coded icons: mail is always sky blue, databases purple, backups amber, security red, in the menu and on the tool pages
- Compact tool lists: the Server, Email, Security and Settings pages show every tool as a dense list, so most fit on one screen
- Grouped dark menu with a clear blue bar on the page you are on
- Calmer logs and service pages: logs in an easy-to-read terminal view, a soft green dot on running services
- Cleaner sign-in page: each field and its icon drawn as one box with a single focus ring
- Gentle motion that switches off if your system is set to reduce motion
Install (about 2 minutes)
- Download the theme CSS file and open it in a text editor
- Log in to CyberPanel as admin and go to Settings > Design
- Paste the whole file into the Custom CSS box
- Click Save Changes, then reload with Ctrl + Shift + R
To remove it, empty the Custom CSS box and save.
Optional helper script
CyberPanel adds Custom CSS at the bottom of the page, so you may see the old look for a split second on refresh. An optional script (fix-theme-flash.sh, run as root) loads the theme at the top of every page, and adds a button that folds the menu into a slim strip of icons. It backs up every file it changes and is safe to run more than once. Run it again after a CyberPanel upgrade.
Good to know
- Tested on CyberPanel 3.0 build 8, OpenLiteSpeed, Ubuntu 24.04. Not meant for 2.x.
- Light mode only: the moon button in the header still gives CyberPanel's own dark look.
- File Manager keeps the stock look because it doesn't load Custom CSS.
- On phones the menu slides in and out as normal.
Download
The download (theme CSS, minified CSS and the helper script) is on AdminsForum: search for "Free CyberPanel 3 Theme AdminsForum". New accounts here can't post links without moderator approval, so I'll add the direct link as soon as I can. Screenshot uploads are also failing on the forum right now, I'll add screenshots once they work.
