Customize your diagrams with themes
SwiftPlantUML generates PlantUML scripts and therefore supports its theming capabilities that are well documented. In a nutshell:
- None (default theme)
- Standard themes available in PlantUML
- Local themes
- Themes from the Internet
SwiftPlantUML will add the required !theme directive if you specify the respective element in your .swiftplantuml.yml configuration file.
theme: amigawill result in a generated PlantUML script that contains the !theme directive
@startuml
!theme amiga
class Example {}
@enduml
No configuration in .swiftplantuml.yml configuration file is needed.
PlantUML ships with a variety of themes. Some do not work well with class diagrams. Here is a list of examples that DO work well with class diagrams.
| Name | Configuration | Example |
|---|---|---|
| amiga | Add theme: amiga as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| carbon-gray | Add theme: carbon-gray as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| cloudscape-design | Add theme: cloudscape-design as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| Mars | Add theme: mars as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| minty | Add theme: minty as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| plain | Add theme: plain as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| reddress-darkblue | Add theme: reddress-darkblue as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| sketchy | Add theme: sketchy as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |
| sketchy-outline | Add theme: sketchy-outline as top level element into your .swiftplantuml.yml file |
 |

The previous default theme from PlantUML.
You cannot set this via .swiftplantuml.yml configuration as this is technically not a PlantUML theme.
You have to modify the generated PlantUML script and use skin rose directive.
Example
@startuml
skin rose
class Example {}
@enduml
