# Vega Themes

[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/vega-themes.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vega-themes) [![Test](https://github.com/vega/vega-themes/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/vega/vega-themes/actions/workflows/test.yml) [![](https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/vega-themes/badge?style=rounded)](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/vega-themes)

Themes for stylized [Vega](https://vega.github.io/vega/) and [Vega-Lite](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/) visualizations. For Vega version 3+ and Vega-Lite 2+.

A Vega _theme_ is a [configuration object](https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/config/) with default settings for a variety of visual properties such as colors, typefaces, line widths and spacing. This module exports a set of named themes, which can be passed as input to the Vega or Vega-Lite with [Vega-Embed](https://github.com/vega/vega-embed) or directly as a configuration object to the [Vega parser](https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/api/parser/).

Try Vega-Themes in our [Observable Demo](https://beta.observablehq.com/@domoritz/vega-themes-demo).

Vega Themes comes with Vega-Embed:

```js
vegaEmbed(el, spec, {theme: 'quartz'});
```

If you want to use a different version, pass the theme as a configuration:

```js
vegaEmbed(el, spec, {config: vegaThemes.quartz});
```

Once instantiated, a visualization theme can not be changed. Instead, the input specification must be re-parsed with a new theme.
