We're excited to introduce our newest theme for Erugo: Subtle Wave. This theme brings a light, cheerful vibe to your file-sharing platform with playful colour accents inspired by flowing gradient waves.

Theme Overview

Subtle Wave offers a bright, inviting interface that makes file sharing feel a bit more fun:

  • Airy White Spaces: Bright backgrounds that create an open, friendly canvas
  • Playful Colour Touches: Gentle purples and blues that add personality and joy to the experience
  • Flowing Gradients: Soft colour transitions that evoke a sense of movement and creativity
  • Light & Breezy Feel: A refreshing alternative to darker themes that brightens your workflow

This theme is perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of cheerfulness to their Erugo instance without going too bold or dramatic.

Customisation Tips
