Do I need to know CSS to use Thread Style Studio?

No. Styles are created through the visual designer and shown in a live XenForo thread preview while you work.

How do I apply a style to a thread?

Paste the complete XenForo thread URL into the assignment area, choose the style and apply it. Thread Style Studio resolves the native thread automatically.

Can I apply styles temporarily?

Yes. Assignments can be permanent or time limited. Expired styling is removed automatically.

Can members style their own threads?

Yes, if you allow it.

XenForo permissions control which user groups can access member thread styling, how many styled threads they may have, what styles they can use and whether they may customise permitted colours or animations.

Can I use this as a Premium or VIP membership benefit?

Yes. Thread styling permissions can be assigned through XenForo user groups, making the feature suitable for User Upgrades, Premium memberships, VIP sellers and similar benefits.

Can users enter their own CSS?

No. Normal members only receive the visual controls permitted by the administrator. Arbitrary member CSS is not accepted.

Can administrators style any thread?

Administrators and other authorised staff can be granted permission to style threads beyond their own, including by pasting a thread URL directly.

Does it support automatic styling?

Yes. Rules can automatically apply styles based on conditions such as sticky status, prefixes, forums, user groups and thread activity.

What happens if multiple rules match a thread?

Rules use priorities so the winning appearance is deterministic. Manual administrator assignments can also be given higher priority.

Can styling be locked by staff?

Yes. Authorised staff can lock an appearance so the thread owner cannot remove or replace it.

Does it include live previews?

Yes. The Admin CP designer includes desktop, tablet, mobile, light and dark previews. Permitted members also receive a live preview when configuring their own eligible threads.

Does it generate CSS too?

Yes. The Admin CP designer can generate a reusable class and corresponding extra.less output.

Which XenForo versions are supported by this listing?

Where can I get support?
