Privy’s UIs are highly-customizable to seamlessly match the branding and design system of your app. Read below to learn how to customize several aspects of Privy, including your app’s name, logo, theme, login ordering, displayed wallet options, and more.

​
App name

To configure the name of your application, go to the Privy Dashboard and select your desired app from the dropdown in the navigation bar. Then, navigate to the Customization page for your app and enter your app’s name (as you’d like it to be presented to your users) in the App name field. The App name you enter here will be used to identify your application for your users, throughout Privy’s UIs in your app and emails and SMSes sent to users with login codes. To configure a logo for your application, go to the Privy Dashboard and select your desired app from the dropdown in the navigation bar. Then, navigate to the Customization page for your app and enter a URL for your app’s logo in the Your logo field. We recommend using an asset with a 2:1 aspect ratio and with a size of 180px x 90px. SVGs are not allowed due to poor compatibility with modern email clients. The Logo you save here will be used in the upfront login modal shown to users within your app, as well as emails sent to your users with their login codes. If you’d like to use a different logo for the upfront login modal versus the login email, you can override the logo shown in the login modal via the config.appearance.logo property of the PrivyProvider component, like so: 
<PrivyProvider
  appId="your-privy-app-id"
  config={{
    appearance: {
      // Defaults to the logo you set in the Dashboard
      logo: 'https://your.logo.url',
      ...insertTheRestOfYourAppearanceConfig
    },
    ...insertTheRestOfYourPrivyProviderConfig
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>
You can also opt to show no logo in the login modal by passing an empty string ('') to appearance.logo.

​
Login screen header text

To configure the header text of the Privy login modal’s landing screen, set a custom string as the config.appearance.landingHeader property of the PrivyProvider component, like so: 
<PrivyProvider
  appId="your-privy-app-id"
  config={{
    appearance: {
      // Defaults to 'Log in or sign up'
      landingHeader: 'Your custom header text',
      ...insertTheRestOfYourAppearanceConfig
    },
    ...insertTheRestOfYourPrivyProviderConfig
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>
We recommend using a string of length 35 or less. Strings longer than the width of the login modal will be ellipsified. If you do not set a custom header text, it will default to ‘Log in or sign up’.

​
Login screen message text

To configure the message text of the Privy login modal’s login screen, set a custom string as the config.appearance.loginMessage property of the PrivyProvider component, like so: 
<PrivyProvider
  appId="your-privy-app-id"
  config={{
    appearance: {
      // Defaults to 'Log in or sign up'
      loginMessage: 'Your custom header text',
      ...insertTheRestOfYourAppearanceConfig
    },
    ...insertTheRestOfYourPrivyProviderConfig
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>
We recommend using a string of length 100 or less. Strings longer than 100 characters will be truncated. If you do not set a custom header text, there is no default.

​
Theme

To configure a theme for your application, set the config.appearance.theme property of the PrivyProvider to 'light', 'dark', or a custom color as a hexadecimal string. The theme sets the core foreground and background colors for Privy’s UIs in your app. 
<PrivyProvider
  appId="your-privy-app-id"
  config={{
    appearance: {
      // Defaults to 'light'
      theme: 'dark',
      ...insertTheRestOfYourAppearanceConfig
    },
    ...insertTheRestOfYourPrivyProviderConfig
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>
If you set the theme to 'light' or 'dark', Privy’s UIs will use Privy’s standard light and dark themes, respectively. You can also set Privy’s theme based on the user’s system preferences by following this guide. If you set the theme to a custom hexadecimal color, the theme color will be used as the primary background color for Privy’s UIs. All other colors will be automatically generated by modulating the luminance of the theme color you set. This creates a cohesive palette that matches your app’s branding.
If you set a custom hexadecimal color as your theme, we strongly recommend choosing a color that is either light or dark (> 80% or < 20% luminance, as defined by HSL). This helps ensure there is sufficient contrast between foreground and background colors in the Privy modal.
If you’d like, you may also override specific colors in Privy’s UI to match your brand palette.

​
Order of login methods

Privy allows you to enable both web2 (email, phone, and socials) and web3 (external wallet) login methods for your app. You can customize Privy to configure how you want these login methods to appear.
Though Privy provides careful defaults around ordering of login methods, you can also fully customize the ordering of login methods by using the loginMethodsAndOrder override.This will allow you to fully customize the ordering of your login methods, with any overflow items (after the first four) going to a secondary page.
For many apps, it is preferable to display wallet (or social) logins upfront and have users click to access the rest of the options. If you’d like to default to either web2 or web3 login methods appearing in your login modal, you can do so by setting the config.appearance.showWalletLoginFirst property of the PrivyProvider like so: 
<PrivyProvider
  appId="your-privy-app-id"
  config={{
    appearance: {
      // Defaults to true
      showWalletLoginFirst: true,
      ...insertTheRestOfYourAppearanceConfig
    },
    ...insertTheRestOfYourPrivyProviderConfig
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>

​
CSS Overrides

Beyond the configuration properties above, Privy also enables you to explicitly override specific colors in the login modal, to further match your product’s design system and color palette. You might use these overrides if you are using a default Privy theme (‘light’ or ‘dark’) and wish to tweak a certain color, or if you set a custom theme and want to use your exact brand colors instead of the automatically-generated ones. To explicitly override colors in your Privy modal, simply add the corresponding CSS variable for the color to the CSS body of your app, and set it to your custom color. The possible CSS variables are listed below; we encourage you to use your browser’s developer tools to experiment with different color combinations to find the right one for your app!

  --privy-border-radius-sm: 'your-custom-value';
  --privy-border-radius-md: 'your-custom-value';
