Orderly Sdk Theming

Orderly Network: SDK Theming

Customize the visual appearance of your Orderly DEX. The SDK is themed by passing one or more themes to OrderlyAppProvider's themes prop. Each theme bundles a set of CSS variables (--oui-*) and optional TradingView chart colors.

When to Use

• Branding a DEX (colors, logo, favicon)
• Offering multiple themes (dark + light, or brand variants)
• Styling the TradingView chart to match
• Customizing PnL-share posters

Prerequisites

• @orderly.network/react-app, @orderly.network/ui installed
• OrderlyAppProvider mounted

How Theming Works

1. Define an array of theme objects (plain TS — see below).
2. Pass the array to <OrderlyAppProvider themes={themes}>.
3. The provider applies the default theme's CSS variables and exposes a theme switcher.

There is no SDK coupling to any particular config source: themes are just data. Define them inline, import them from a module, or load them from config — whatever your app prefers.

Defining Themes

A theme is a plain object. Define 1–6 of them, with exactly one marked isDefault:

import type { ThemeCssVars } from '@orderly.network/ui';

const themes = [
  {
    id: '11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111', // unique UUID
    displayName: 'Dark', // shown in the theme switcher
    mode: 'dark', // "dark" | "light"
    isDefault: true, // exactly ONE theme sets this
    cssVars: {
      // optional: override --oui-* vars
      '--oui-color-primary': '#29dfa9',
      '--oui-color-base-1': '#0e0e10',
      '--oui-color-base-2': '#161618',
      '--oui-color-trading-profit': '#29dfa9',
      '--oui-color-trading-loss': '#f5618b',
      '--oui-gradient-brand-start': '#29dfa9',
      '--oui-gradient-brand-end': '#1aa37c',
    },
    tradingViewColorConfig: {
      // optional: chart colors
      chartBG: '#0e0e10',
      upColor: '#29dfa9',
      downColor: '#f5618b',
      pnlUpColor: '#29dfa9',
      pnlDownColor: '#f5618b',
      pnlZeroColor: '#8b8b8b',
      textColor: '#b8b8b8',
      qtyTextColor: '#8b8b8b',
      volumeUpColor: '#29dfa9',
      volumeDownColor: '#f5618b',
      closeIconColor: '#b8b8b8',
    },
  },
  {
    id: '22222222-2222-4222-8222-222222222222',
    displayName: 'Light',
    mode: 'light',
    cssVars: { '--oui-color-primary': '#1aa37c', '--oui-color-base-1': '#ffffff' },
  },
];

Wiring into the provider

import { OrderlyAppProvider } from '@orderly.network/react-app';

function Provider({ children }) {
  return (
    <OrderlyAppProvider brokerId={brokerId} networkId="mainnet" themes={themes}>
      {children}
    </OrderlyAppProvider>
  );
}

Theme object schema

This is the shape themes expects. The reference template validates it with zod, but you can equally use it as a plain TS type.

Constraints: 1–6 themes; unique ids; unique displayNames (case-insensitive); exactly one default.

export type DexThemeConfig = Array<{
  id: string;
  displayName: string;
  mode: 'dark' | 'light';
  cssVars?: Partial<ThemeCssVars>;
  tradingViewColorConfig?: TradingViewColorConfig;
  isDefault?: boolean;
}>;

CSS Variables (--oui-*)

Override any of these under cssVars. All are optional — omitting one keeps the SDK default for the theme mode.

Brand / accent: --oui-color-primary, --oui-color-primary-light, --oui-color-primary-darken, --oui-color-primary-contrast, --oui-color-link, --oui-color-link-light, --oui-color-secondary, --oui-color-tertiary, --oui-color-quaternary

Semantic: --oui-color-danger (+ -light, -darken, -contrast), --oui-color-success (+ …), --oui-color-warning (+ …)

Surfaces / text: --oui-color-fill, --oui-color-fill-active, --oui-color-base-1 … --oui-color-base-10, --oui-color-base-foreground, --oui-color-base-static, --oui-color-base-static-contrast, --oui-color-line

Trading PnL: --oui-color-trading-profit, --oui-color-trading-profit-contrast, --oui-color-trading-loss, --oui-color-trading-loss-contrast

Gradients: --oui-gradient-primary-{start,end}, --oui-gradient-secondary-*, --oui-gradient-success-*, --oui-gradient-danger-*, --oui-gradient-brand-{start,end,stop-start,stop-end,angle}, --oui-gradient-warning-*, --oui-gradient-neutral-*

Shape & spacing: --oui-rounded-sm, --oui-rounded, --oui-rounded-{md,lg,xl,2xl,full}, --oui-spacing-{xs,sm,md,lg,xl}, --oui-font-family

The full key set is typeof DARK_THEME_CSS_VARS (exported from @orderly.network/ui as ThemeCssVars). Any subset is valid.

TradingView Chart Styling

Chart colors live inside a theme's tradingViewColorConfig. The chart config itself (library paths) is passed to TradingPage via tradingViewConfig.

TradingViewColorConfig fields

<TradingPage
  symbol={symbol}
  tradingViewConfig={{
    scriptSRC: '/tradingview/charting_library/charting_library.js',
    library_path: '/tradingview/charting_library/',
    customCssUrl: '/tradingview/chart.css',
    // colorConfig is omitted when themes carry tradingViewColorConfig;
    // the chart then reads colors from the active theme.
  }}
/>

Logos & Favicon

Logos are passed to OrderlyAppProvider via the appIcons prop, typed as AppLogos (@orderly.network/react-app):

import type { AppLogos } from '@orderly.network/react-app';

const appIcons: AppLogos = {
  main: hasPrimaryLogo
    ? { component: <img src="/logo.webp" alt="logo" style={{ height: '42px' }} /> }
    : { img: '/orderly-logo.svg' }, // { img } for a plain URL
  secondary: { img: hasSecondaryLogo ? '/logo-secondary.webp' : '/orderly-logo-secondary.svg' },
};

<OrderlyAppProvider appIcons={appIcons} /* … */ />;

Place assets in public/ (e.g. public/logo.webp). Use a base-path wrapper so they resolve under a sub-path deploy. Update public/favicon.webp and the <link> tags in index.html for the favicon.

PnL Share Posters

TradingPage accepts a sharePnLConfig:

const sharePnLConfig = {
  backgroundImages: posterBackgrounds, // URLs to your poster backgrounds
  color: 'rgba(255,255,255,0.98)',
  profitColor: 'rgba(41,223,169,1)',
  lossColor: 'rgba(245,97,139,1)',
  brandColor: 'rgba(255,255,255,0.98)',
  refLink: window.location.origin,
  refSlogan: brokerName, // your brand slogan
};

<TradingPage sharePnLConfig={sharePnLConfig} /* … */ />;

Tailwind

The SDK does not ship a Tailwind preset. Point the content glob at your source and do not define brand colors in Tailwind — use the --oui-* CSS variables instead.

// tailwind.config.ts
import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss';
export default {
  content: ['./app/**/{**,.client,.server}/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      fontFamily: { sans: ['Inter', 'ui-sans-serif', 'system-ui', 'sans-serif'] },
    },
  },
  plugins: [],
} satisfies Config;

/* global styles (imported once at app entry) */
@import '@orderly.network/ui/dist/styles.css';
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Target SDK elements via their oui-* class names and the CSS variables for custom overrides:

.oui-card {
  border-radius: var(--oui-rounded-lg);
}

Loading themes from config (optional)

If you want to swap themes without a code change, store the theme array as JSON and load it at runtime. The reference template does this with a Vite .env var and a small validating loader:

# .env  (single line — shown pretty-printed for readability)
VITE_ORDERLY_THEME_CONFIG=[{"id":"…","displayName":"Dark","mode":"dark","isDefault":true,"cssVars":{...}}]

// resolves + zod-validates the JSON into a DexThemeConfig[]; falls back to a
// single synthesized default theme when the var is absent/invalid
const { themes } = resolveDexThemeConfig(import.meta.env.VITE_ORDERLY_THEME_CONFIG);

A runtime-config indirection (public/config.js / window.__RUNTIME_CONFIG__) is only useful for multi-instance deployments where one build is reused with different themes — an Orderly One concern, documented in orderly-one-dex. For a normal DEX, a static theme array (or .env) is sufficient.
