There are several ways to install these themes.
Use an instance of element which has Labs
enabled
If you use an instance of Element which has Labs enabled, head over to the Labs tab in Settings and turn on "Support adding custom themes". To add this theme, copy your preferred flavour's JSON's URL into the "Custom theme URL" field. Example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catppuccin/element/main/themes/Catppuccin-mocha.json
Self hosted Element or Element Desktop
If you are hosting an instance yourself or use Element Desktop, then this theme can be added by placing the config.json
file in Element's config directory. The possible locations are:
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\$NAME\config.json
- Linux:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME/config.json
or~/.config/$NAME/config.json
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/$NAME/config.json
where the $NAME
is usually Element
. If you use the --profile $PROFILE
flag, then the $NAME
becomes Element-$PROFILE
.
Then enable the "Support adding custom themes" option in the Labs section of the Settings. The themes will then appear in the Appearance tab of the Settings.
